code to generate ugly images

[kedaman]

Explain to me how you could do this with code? Something in the direction will be a point ;)

for sure their is a function(or sub) repeated a certain
number of times, that each time it's called the pass
value or the opposite of the previous passed value.

The function would random location to put points
but all around the same spot. Cuz all the images are
not the same but similar.

i don't know....................

I think it really calculates the color, something exponential (like x^x or x^y or sin(x)*y^x ;)).

Maybe he's using palettes to get the weird color combinations...

[kedaman]

nevermind that, the rnd thing just made things worse. Look at this one instead, and you might have easier to figure out what i did.

Fox get a point for "using palettes to get weird color combinations"
sebs get's a point about that random thing, i removed it now since it's disturbing your concentration :)

let me guess - something to do with calling the RGB colors ?

I know its very vague, but do I get a point ?

What does Axiom mean kedaman ?

This one fades a form...

Dim intY As Integer

Form1.Scale (0, 0)-(500, 500)

For intY = 0 To 500
Form1.Line (0, intY)-(500, intY), RGB(0, 0, CInt((intY / 500) * 255))
Next


So I guess....
You created a triangle shape, worked out the centre of it, then used something like the above, rather than changing the color from top to bottom, to go from the inside to the outside of the shape.

I haven't learnt DirectX, so not too sure how you got the multi triangle bit ...

[kedaman]

Has nothing to do with DX alex, it was rendered on the screen dc. No RGB crap, it's done with a palette. no triangles were drawn either. However nice fading, 1 point for that :)

Hmmm...................Using Bitblt, DC, and CreateBitMap with SRCCOPY, SRCINVERT, SRCOR and SRCAND to get the reversing of the colors and the rotation.

Axiom is also my handle in all the computer games I play (online and offline), well either that or HarryTheBastard ;)

[kedaman]

the screen and an offscreen device context +several bitmaps are involved, bitblt is only used with source copy. No color reversing or rotation was needed, 1 point to you Technocrat.
Yeah well Harry, i didn't know until i changed my title, it's okay that i keep it`?

Since I'm not likely to hit 4096 posts any time soon, I don't think it will matter :)
