I like it - well done.

Slightly modified by adding blue shades and transparency:

Code: Select all

#include "fbgfx.bi"
Using FB

#define Min(a, b)						(IIf(a < b, a, b))
#define Max(a, b)						(IIf(a > b, a, b))
#define Col(c)							Max(0, Min(255, c))

@UEZ I like it. This is the nicest waterfall so far.

@dodicat Nice rain demo.

Use Randomize , 5

Why? Why not :)

Here's a take that uses palette shifting to assist in the animation effect.

Code: Select all

' *** purple rain ***
' palette shifting drippiness
screen 20
setmouse(0,0,0)
dim as integer index=0, column=0, row=0, lcolor=0, shift=0, red=0, green=0, blue=0, h, w,maxlen

screeninfo w,h
maxlen = h / 10
for index =1 to 15
	palette index,255*(index/15),0,255*(index/15)
next index
index=15
do
	row=0 : lcolor=int(rnd*15)+1
	if int(rnd*100)+1>10 then
		line(column,0)-(column,h),0
	else
		do
			var length = int(rnd*maxlen)+2
			line(column,row)-(column,row+length),lcolor
			row=row+length
			if lcolor=15 then lcolor=1 else lcolor=lcolor+1
		loop until row>=h
	end if
	sleep 2
	if index=1 then shift=15 else shift=index-1
	palette get shift,red,green,blue
	palette index,red,green,blue
	if index=1 then index=15 else index=index-1
	column=column+int(rnd*7)+1
	if column>w then column=0
loop until len(inkey)

Sleep 1, Sleep 2, …, Sleep 15 all give a Sleep of 15 because Sleep is linked to the System Clock (64Hz). To get Sleep n to sleep for n milliseconds, then use:

Code: Select all

Declare Function settimer Lib "winmm" Alias "timeBeginPeriod"(As Ulong=1) As Long
settimer
That uses a timer with a frequency of 1000Hz.

With a resolution of 1ms Sleep 2 will sleep for 2 to 3 ms. That is too fast for me.

Sleep 10 looks good for me.

Again, use 'Randomize , 5'.
