Plasma Spiraling

[B+]

Something from SdlBasic:

Code: [Select]

'plasma spiral.sdlbs  2015-10-5 MGA/B+ inspired by Johnno and Peter's latest
xmax=620:ymax=608
setDisplay(xmax,ymax,32,1)
setcaption( "Plasma Spiraling")
autoback(0)
xcenter = xmax/2+8
ycenter = ymax/2+8
red=.2:green=.005:blue=.01:i=1 'plasma initialization
do
    a = 1: r = 0 'spiral initialization
    do
Plasma=rgb(127+127*sin(red*i),127+127*sin(green*i),127+127*sin(blue*i))
        ink(Plasma)
        fillcircle(xcenter + r * cos(a), ycenter - r * sin(a), 16)
'screenswap    'if too flashy uncomment this
'spiral drawing
        a = a + 1/a  'this is very interesting !
        r =5* a
        if r >= 300 then: exit do: end if
'plasma mixing
i=i+1
red=red+.2:green=green+.3:blue=blue+.4
if red>.5 then: red=.02:end if
if green>.5 then: green=.005:end if
if blue>.5 then: blue=.01:end if
    loop
screenswap
    if key(27) then: exit do: end if
loop
I'd like to know if zip worked (my first one).

Here is smoother version 2:

Both zips worked just fine. Both contained the sdlbasic and exec files. Curious. How did you make the exe?

Hey Johnno!

Two methods are described in help "What's New in latest release" link for creating exes. I tried the first method with new Windows 10 setup and still no luck binding the files from inside the editor. We had a discussion about this awhile back at BP.org. For myself, I rewrote the bind file .sdlbas, all it does is copy the source file to the end of sdlbrt.exe. I can not find that file yet (if I have that backed up at all).

The second method is to put sdlbrt.exe with the source file in a separate folder, rename the sdlbrt file the same as the source and you are done but you still need to keep the source with the exe, so it's 2 files.

Eventually it is cheaper storage wise to just get sdlbasic, you can do the same thing with SmallBASIC and any interpreted Basic.
