| Title: Cool 3D Intro Sequence -- Version 2
| Code Submitted By:
- g8w4y
| This builds a logo out of coloured cubes, the image of which is loaded from an image up to 32 x 32 pixels. This is excellent for splash screens etc, and a simple (and bad) example bmp image can be found at http://www.angelfire.com/musicals/yaar/blitz.bmp for those too lazy to make their own :-). You don't need to put my name anywhere, but the credit would be nice.
New version adds saving support and images don't have to be exactly 32 x 32... |

| Title: DMT, DEM, VDXLIGHTING
| Code Submitted By:
- nofrontier
| Too long for the short title:
- Dynamic Mesh Trail effect, which uses the new VertexAlpha thing,
- Dynamic Environment Mapping, through copyrect and flag 256+64
- And a nice DXlight effect
The Dynamic Mesh Trail original basic functions are by Ben Gillbank, modified along some hour of coding last night.
All the rest is genuine instant from-skratch blitz3d coding.
Enjoy it, mod it, use it, credit me! :) |

| Title: Fast Image Information
| Code Submitted By:
- code_666
| At the moment, the only way to get an image's width/height is to first load it and then use the ImageWidth()/ImageHeight() commands. If you are using code that makes a decision whether to use an image based on this information, loading the whole image into memory - just to then discard it - is slow and wasteful, not to mention time consuming!
What my code does is to jump into the file stream and pull out the information directly and then calculate the width and the height - thus negating the need to load the whole file into memory first. This is a much faster way of doing things, especially with large images.
An added bonus is that the code does not determine the image's type based on the file extension you feed the function, it checks the file for it's signature and then acts accordingly. Room has been left in the logic for coders to add their own formats and/or formats not supported by this code. The code's logic differentiates between header and footer signatures, primarily for ease of use and speed.
Code is free to use - all I ask is for recognition in the program. |

| Title: First person shooter camera control source code
| Code Submitted By:
- edzup
| This code allows the user to run/walk/fly, jump, and look around. The variable player gravity can also be used for fall damage, each cycle the player isnt touching anything it is deducted the gravity# value.
To do fall damage check PlayerGravity to see if its gone below the safe limits and if so when the player hits something damage them accordingly.
*** The only requirement I ask is if you use this code can you put my name in the credits, Thank you *** |

| Title: Full Screen Motion Blur
| Code Submitted By:
- ban300
| | Use this to apply a motion blur to the screen. This is for 3D applications. The comments should explain how to use the code. Basically call SetupBlurCamera() right after you create your main viewport camera and then call BlurScreen() before RenderWorld. By toying with the blur_severity and falloff values you can drastically alter the effect. You can further alter it by changing the blur_magnitude in BlurScreen(). |

| Title: Replaying user input using a collection of Types
| Code Submitted By:
- matt_sephton
| 23/24 June 2002, version 0.10, tracks user controlled element
26/27 June 2002, version 0.20, tracks multiple computer controlled elements
to do: enable early quit of replay to go back to game
*** feel free to use this method as long as you give me credit
this method can be used to replay user input. this simple demo records the player control of a dot. we choose to do the correct branch of the main loop (moving or drawing) depending on if we are recording (game) or replaying (watching). this could be extended to keep track of multiple items, such as computer/AI controlled characters.
