FireWorks Question for gurus

[royjacob]

I am trying to make this fireworks effect in a language called Turing. It has gr predefined procedures like drawdot, drawcircle, drawarc etc. The syntax doesn't matter at all. I would like to know if anyone knows the logic or the basic steps on how to do it. you might want ot look into trignometry and radians of a circle. PLEASE HELP. This is for a school assignment

Try using a particle system.

I say that in confidence because I check his profile and he hasn't posted anything for two years :D

:D

The funny thing is that DX has a fireworks demo in its SDK. :D

[SLH]

DX isn't supported by the language he wants to use....

S'pose he could use some of the consepts though.

Dx 7 or Dx8 and would it have been out when he posted?? :cool: :) :o :p ;) :rolleyes: :cool: :eek: (I've gone mad :D)

[Darkwraith]

DX 6 should have been out.

[SLH]

I had a look at the Turing web site, and it doesn't support any kind of components/references.

Hehe, do you like my little dude: http://www.vbforums.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=1491246

lol - already i can think of countless situations where it can be used to express emotions that cannot be expressed in words. :)

[Electroman]

I'm gona keep a copy of the link on my PC (with easy access) so I can use it like a smilie in other posts :D.

[SLH]

A cunning plan.

[Electroman]

This guys gona get a shock if/when he logs on and sees whats happened to his thread ;) :p.

[SLH]

lol, yeah.

loop through radius (from 0 to whatever) and inside that loop, loop through pi*2 (thats 360 degrees in radians) and set the pixels in:
x= cos(current_degree)*raduis
y= sin(current_degree)*raduis
then do some small random so they dont move in a staight line.
then add gravity...do a search to find out how.

[Electroman]

I found a easy way to remember the link for the little dude, he's now in my signiture :D :D :D.

[cyborg]

hehe! thats nice! :)

[Darkwraith]

Well, at least his post is answered. :D

[Electroman]

Thats if he'll be able to find the answer tho all the off-topic chat http://www.vbforums.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=1491246

[Darkwraith]

If he wants it, he'll find it. ;)

If it is someone else who wants it, he'll probably post the question again. :)
