Title: curious little toy
Post by: lycium on August 01, 2007, 07:29:10 AM
here's something i made while working on a university assignment: http://www.fractographer.com/cos340/funky.exe

there is an annoying camera flip because the spherical co-ordinates used to position it can cause the viewing and world up direction to become parallel, but it's kinda fun to play with, especially full screen.

indeed cool, can i do more than just move the camera?

if you keep the mouse in a steady movement, it seems like watching a clockwork ... :o

nope, it's just a really quick hack and the cam motion is a bit sux :| i guess i can make a version that continually rotates (maybe interpolates through random points on the sphere) if anyone wants it :)

Might make a great screensaver!

I got the same error!

I found this:

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?glut32

But have not done anything with it yet!

I guess I'm lazy about things like that...

either put it in windows/system32 folder, or copy it just to the location of the .exe file!

OK, got it working.

This is a great idea and could be adapted to Lots of interactive Thingies.

Well done!
