What did you code it with ?

(will download it later on)

 

Very

 

Brilliant, my son will be impressed, I've just got to convince him that we really are inside the matrix now

Hang on I can hear the sentinels coming.

Cheers

 

Actually just noticed it's running real slow, the speed seems to vary. Could be my PC ?

Goes like schtink on mine. Like it m8, for a preliminary one

Not sure on the firework style bit tho.

 

Cheers chaps.

Daz, plain old VB, with a few APIs to speed up the animation

if you've got less than a 1500mhz, forget it - it's updating the matrix code as it drops and that's quite intensive.

I've written a 3d rotating matrix too. I'm going to incorporate it so that the code freezes on the screen and turns round showing that it's a 3d environment, not a 2d plane. I'll have to do that in DirectX tho.

 

Very nice.

Any chance of posting the source so that we may learn from your wisdom oh wise master?

John

 

I'll post it sunday - I'm in Daaarzet at the moment.

Here's a taster:
Public Type Trails
x as integer
y as integer
speed as long
LastTickCount as long
End Type

Public Type Circles
x as integer
y as integer
radius as long
LastTickCount as long
TimeToNextCircle as long
End Type

Should get you all started

 

Nice

What's the exploding letter bubbles thingy about though ? Never seen that before or is it on the second film ?

Also, only works on primary monitor

Otherwise, very nice.

Cheers

P.S. You have lunchtimes ?

Ian

 

the official matrix reloaded screensaver (not as good, imho) has a square exploding thing. I thought circles were better looking and more technically challenging too.

 

Thanks for that. Looks really good.

 

Shame, I've only got a P111 800 and it's having none of it, good excuse for a new PC then

 

same

do u have the universe one?

 

i like this one better

The matrix had more strands code

 

if you've got a p4 3ghz, you can have as many strands of code as you like!!!!

I'll do a super PC version.

 

i do

 

I do and then some

 

ill catch your thensome up by the end next week

 

Okay there's a new version now!

Click on 'Settings' to change the bits.

Download at the same link at the top of the thread
- As many code lines as you want
- screen interference too

 

can someone on a good pc test it out please?

 

Source code if anyone's interested.

VB6

 

Still looks

Have DL'ed the source (thanks for sharing) will have a nosy at it later and see what i can make of it.

Cheers.

John.

Cheers

Ian

Comes up with the about information

Si
