OpenGL examples
#31
Due to the huge interest in this thread (according to the number of downloads in the previous post) -  ZERO - I am highly motivated and so I come with another post:

OpenGL Particles

Here is an example of the ability to work with particles in OpenGL. Control with arrows and *, /, -, + and space keys. Something resembling a comet's tail can be simulated.

Texture is need.

Notice the ever-repeating _glTexCoord2f, followed by _glVertex3f... over and over again. That's literally says - use  field! This way it's better for understanding, but in practice I would rather create a data file with the coordinates and then compile the whole thing in a loop using only these two commands.

Try applying a texture with transparency to one position, it's quite interesting. Don't forget that even in this case you can mix color as in the previous example.

Hi Petr,
where are the images for texture that you load?

are they these following?
tiger
bird
cat
horse
dog
eagle

Keep in mind this is a very small community, and the word gets out more often through Discord than from here directly, to the rest of the world. We're not reaching young people very well, while they're being told to program "only" in C++, Javascript and Python. So you can't be affected that well by the number of downloads of an attachment on this forum.

If you are really interested in better exposure for source code and whatever, you could join one of the BASIC groups on Reddit, for example. :O

You're sailing through an ocean without hunting whales which is a great undertaking, but it's not interesting to a lot of people who program in BASIC to use it as complex calculator, as expression parser for an obscure interpreted language or something else. Working with OpenGL isn't easy but you're demonstrating perseverance with it. :tu:

Hi Petr
answer to #13


Quote:Check out this program. This is lighting. The problem here is with gluBuild2DMipmaps. This is a type of texture filtering, when using with _GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER in the _glTexParameteri command, the program either dies in a white screen, or the texture is not created and the object is then all white. There will be more and more such problems. I tried everything possible just to SOMEHOW get it running. Therefore, do not take this program as an example.


the code that I take from post runs ok without anything of these problems about you talk.
I am using the images (one of them) posted by me in #32.

I miss the goal of loading the same image with 3 different Filter value because the image in output appears the same in the 3 filtering methods.
Pressing F in the program let me get the same graphic output.

What do you think about this? The new QB64pe versions have fixed something?

Don't be discouraged, I follow your work, I think it's very useful! Difficult curriculum, complicated code, but the result is worth it!
The "fog" effect is very good.

I was thinking about whether it would be possible to somehow integrate the thing into a system for a 3D world.

For example:
(install points)
add_point   p_index,x,y,z (p_index :0,1,2,3,4,5....)

(install textures)
add_texture     t_index, "x.jpg" (t_index : 0,1,2,3,4,5)

(install triangles, with many parametrs)
add_triangle   p_index1, p_index2, p_index3, t_index, transparency, fog....


After the integration/installation of 'points', 'textures', 'triangles', only the camera x,y,z,ang1,ang2 should be changed in the main cycle.
Thus, it could be used universally, as simply as the _MAPTRIANGLE command.

Thank you very much for your responses. I had no idea how many reactions my comment would generate. I will look at all the questions and answer them one by one. I have come now.

So...
Right at the beginning - to the questions of @TempodiBasic:

#32 - texturing the cube - so this post was updated and I added a zip file with the source code and the textures I used, the ones you refer to are not mine.

#35 - thanks for the heads up. There were two problems. One is that for MIPMAPPING to work you have to use a texture such that both sides are divisible by two and at the same time such that its longest side is at most 128 pixels long. It is information that I read recently - respectively - one source claims that it is ideal to upload any large texture, that large is better, it only insists on the condition that both sides are divisible by two, but does not indicate for which version of OpenGL they mean it, and another source again states , that textures up to 128x128 pixels should be selected. This will probably be true, because at larger sizes the program will hang (after eliminating the fatal problem number 2)

Fatal problem number 2, now eliminated everywhere. I forgot! in the library declaration, include the BYVAL declaration before the input parameters. That was why it just didn't work. Now it works as it should and I added BYVAL to all the source codes in the entire thread. I'm very sorry for this, I thought it was unnecessary, but recently I was clearly proven wrong.

When you run the program now, I added the wallpaper to the thread, with which I tried it again, so the first texturing - linear will return a very square wallpaper. The next one will be smoother. The two smooth ones look the same, I don't know where the problem is, I thought maybe my graphics card doesn't support it?  Huh


#34: TerryRitchie - my pleasure and sorry for the confusion.
#35: Mnrvovrfc: I agree with what you're saying.
#36: BPlus: You'd miss a lot Smile But I still can't find the satellites I wrote with MapTriangle...

#37: MasterGy: Well, I'll try to do it. I already had the fog locked in the cube so it should work. At the same time, the fog can be any color and also one number indicates its density. Basically.... well, I already thought of it. As one goes into the fog, according to the SIN, its density will rise to its center (ABS(SIN) = 1) and decrease to zero again as it leaves the fog. I also have to try if there will be three quadrics that create a new shape (for example 2 spheres + cylinder = dumbbell) so that instead of three quadrics only one displaylist would be called... I'VE NEVER TRIED THIS. Smile Heck yeah that's a challenge. I'll try it. I'm not saying it will work, but I have to try!

So let's take it step by step, let's keep it clear, shall we? Therefore, I will add the first change now, when there is another, I will add another, and so on.

So. @MasterGy, I found out that fog in OpenGL can only be turned off or on. I thought about it and realized that this is actually enough for me. But - not quite. First, a 2D program that explains the function of how to determine the intensity of the fog and whether we should actually turn it on or not. Do you know the CIRCLE command? There's a little genius thing in the help that just needed a little tweaking for OpenGL use.


Code: (Select All)
SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800, 600, 32)
DO
    CLS
    LOCATE 1
    WHILE _MOUSEINPUT: WEND
    X& = _MOUSEX
    Y& = _MOUSEY
    CIRCLE (400, 300), 150
    PRINT IsOnPos(X&, Y&, 400, 300, 150)
    _DISPLAY
    _LIMIT 20
LOOP

FUNCTION IsOnPos (Walker_Xpos, Walker_Zpos, PointX, PointZ, radius)
    xy& = ((Walker_Xpos - PointX) ^ 2) + ((Walker_Zpos - PointZ) ^ 2) 'Pythagorean theorem
    IF radius ^ 2 >= xy& THEN IsOnPos = (radius ^ 2 - xy&) / radius ^ 2 ELSE IsOnPos = 0
END FUNCTION


Run this simple thing. A circle is drawn. Move the mouse to the middle. In the middle, the function returns 1 - this means that you are in the middle of the fog, so the fog will be thickest here. And on the edges you are somewhere around zero values.

How simple! You have a smooth onset of fog! Well, but if it will work in OpenGL?

I had to wrestle with it a bit, but I finally convinced OpenGL. So focus on lines 36 to 38, this is where you can set the color of the fog, then skip the _GL sub because initialization must be done first in the INIT2 sub on lines 242 and 244, notice line 243, it's moved to the main _GL loop just because to allow for a smooth onset and retreat of the fog. Then look in SUB _GL on lines 118 to 128, where the function I showed you a moment ago in 2D works for the 3D world.

And I ask: Who can guess what other clever uses in 3D the IsOnPos function offers us? Hmmmm? Smile

After all, MUSIC. Imagine a radio placed in free space. The closer you are, the louder it will play. Amazing, huh?

Well, let's calm down a bit and imagine that the radio is placed in the room. And we have calculations.... echo according to the room, sound attenuation according to the walls... but it is enough to place it in a free space.

You have to be careful to set GL_FOG_START and GL_FOG_END correctly, or you will come out of the fog and the object in the distance will be seen as if there was no fog at all (the object must be in the range of GL_FOG_START to  GL_FOG_END for this to not happen.
