Small 25 line program

Very cool.  Impressive how much is going on in so little code.

Better with pset than circle radius 1, for sure!

My little tweak to this routine.  I think this gives me the prettiest little snow globe you guys ever did see!

Code: (Select All)

SCREEN 12
RANDOMIZE TIMER
pi = 3.1415
n = 200
r = (2 * pi) / 100
sz = 200
scrw = 640: scrh = 480
sw = scrw / sz: sh = scrh / sz
offset = scrh / 4.5
PSET (320, 240), RND * 256
DO
    CLS
    FOR i = 50 TO n
        FOR j = 50 TO n
            u = SIN(i + v) + SIN(r * i + x)
            v = COS(i + v) + COS(r * i + x)
            x = u + t
            q = scrw / 2 + u * offset
            a = scrh / 2 + v * offset
            PSET (q, a), RND * 256
            lastq = q: lasta = a
        NEXT j
    NEXT i
    t = t + .001

No kidding.  CIRCLE statements in a loop bring BAM to a brutal crawl.

That, dbox, is a wickedly cool version that I just had to try; PSET makes a ginormous difference:

• View the source code
  
• Run the program

I found another version of this through Johnno at RCBasic which came from Marcus at Naalaa from SpecBas by Paul Dunn, so this gets around! I like coloring and slowed it down with making t much smaller:

That is stunningly beautiful.  Thanks for sharing!


BAM version:

• Run the program

Thanks Charlie, I wish I came up with this originally.

Yeah, I just updated BAM to accept "32" as parameter for _NEWIMAGE.  Links in my previous post updated.
