Here is a selection of graphic animation programs I have produced. In all of them you press ESC to exit and often any other key will change the current animation pattern. A lot of them print a random seed when you exit, to get the same animation back you can invoke the program with the seed as an arguement.
Due to being hosted by a "free" ISP binary downloads are not supported so you will have to download the source code and make it yourself. I have however made this a very simple task. When you click on one of the links you arrive at the program, just copy the whole thing as text (or use Save As... Text), make sure it is all there and change the name to end with '.BAT'. You can then run this batch program and it will create the binary (ZIP)in the directory you run it from.
./M11.HTM Chaos animation. M11=Mode 0x11, the VGA screen mode the program runs in. Based on a simple eqn. that gives rise to complexity (one of the defining aspects of Chaos).
./VEJAT3.HTM Veja Exist. ( Searching for Another Dimension. )
./TPB0.HTM
The Chroma Project. An Experiment in Light.
( This project is unfinished. Further editions may be posted here. )
The following productions were all part of an unfinished project called 'Video'. You are supposed to watch the display like you would be watching Video, only the content is virtual. The aim of the Video project is true virtual video. I do not think that the aim has been satisfied yet. The sense of existence of content, whether reality or surreality, recorded or in 'time', is still pretty low.
For best viewing the brightness/contrast controls of the monitor should be set so that the background is black and a thin grey border is visible around the animation. There should not be any (non-ambient) light shining into the monitor screen.
Watch this space for further additions to this series...
./TSPR2J.HTM The original format.
./VPRJ6.HTM Not intended to be seen as a simple plasma field but possibly mistaken for one.
./VPRJ9.HTM 32 bit numbers used as opposed to 16 bit previously. Good on a (very) large display. Back to the original idea. Colour scheme is chosen again only at the next reinitialisation (when you press a key), some colour schemes work much better than others.
./VPRJ9P.HTM Some screen dumps from VPRJ9.COM ( 220k page size ).
./VPRJ9A.HTM This is the source code package for VPRJ9A.COM As normal save the file as text, run it as a batch program and it will generate a .ZIP file. Unzip this .ZIP file to get the source code which is embedded in a batch program that will also create the binary if run. This version has a screen dump facility, everytime you press the SPACE bar a snapshot of the screen will be saved as .BMP file (256 colour 256x256 pixels) The filenames are generated automatically and will start at 00000000 and increment by 1 each time (the number is in hexadecimal). Hope you enjoy it :)
