| Title: Curved Text & RLE vector routines (part 2)
| Code Submitted By:
- andy_a
| This code snippet will run as is, but you'll need part 1 for creating and saving images in your own program. The new functions are:
makeData() - makes a text file of data statements that can be copy & pasted into your source code.
getImgData() - once you've pasted the data statements into your source, use this function to load into memory for further processing.
data2buffer() - like the above, but will re-create the image at 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees (user specified) in a Blitz image buffer. Use the Blitz image buffer just like you would use any loaded external image file.
dat2curv2buf() - reads the image in the data statements, wraps the image around a curve, and stores in a Blitz image buffer.
Simple usage demo included. |

| Title: 3D Embossed Text Function
| Code Submitted By:
- cyberseth
| Rather than onion's 3D Emboss Function which uses pixel, this is a function solely for text, and is faster for large text and titles, but useless for images. In its simplest form it can be EmbossText(x,y,caption$) and has extra properties of (depth, angle, halign, valign)
Also it will emboss the text at any angle, not just 8 directions. |

| Code Submitted By:
- i r teh n00b!!1
| I set myself the challenge of emulating elasticity...
This is the best I could come up with. It may be messy and there are probably better, neater ways to do the same thing, but I'm a newbie and it was fun to make! Anyway, the more code in the archives the better, right? :-) |

| Title: Coloured TEXT with OUTLINE
| Code Submitted By:
- da_hobo_hen
| This function displays your text, in the current drawing colour, then writes it (in your current font), with a 1 pixel thick black background.
I found this code usefull, and hope you do too.
Just call txt(xpos,ypos,txt$,centeredx,centeredy)
xpos is x posisiton (pixels)
ypos is y position (pixels)
txt$ is the text
centeredx is TRUE/FALSE/1/0 - to center horrizontally
centeredy is TRUE/FALSE/1/0 - to center verticallay |

| 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! :) |

| A couple of routines to perform fade operation on images. Also includes the option to create images with a varying degree of transparency (like looking through glass) by sampling a referenced image and overlaying it onto an existing image. Simple yet effective.
Both fade and transparency can be applied at varying degress. |

Updated. Now includes fatSuperEllipse() function. Check it out! |

| 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: Real-Time Emboss
| Code Submitted By:
- onion
| Similar in a way to Photoshop's emboss filter.
It takes a pixel value, and a value from one of the 8 next to it, and combined the two in a clever way to do an emboss effect. Currently loops round the 8 'compass directions' to give a funky effect.
Just wrote it in response to a forum post. Probably won't ever be updated. You'll need a suitable 'image.bmp' file, anything should be fine.
Version 0.1: Ok, its got a bug, it turns everything blue. I suspect I've mucked up the binary shifting..
Suggested improvements:
Fix the bug. :)
Remove the n and m matrices and replace with a smooth sin curve for a lovely lighting effect.
Remove half the readpixelfast statements. At the moment every pixel is read twice. This is quite mad. Fling the values into a 2d array. Much faster.
Animate the matrices.. imagine it.. an emboss text scroller.. cool..
Whatever else.. go play.
NOTE:
Updated. I fixed the bug. All my binary shifts were flippin' back-to-front. Doh! |

| Title: Realtime scaling
| Code Submitted By:
- nullmind
| This is (i belive) the fastest way to draw a scaled image in realtime. It doesnt use any pixel commands.
Tested this on my 900mhz 256MB Geforce2MX (PCI). It can draw a 128x128 image resized to 640x480 in 9ms, ever loop without any pre-rendering or caching.
It does now use a scratch image created in the main game loop :) To save from creating a new image and freeing it everytime. |

| 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.

| Title: Super fast image rotation
| Code Submitted By:
- badjim
| These functions work a bit like the RotateImage command, but they are fast enough for realtime use. They rotate around the image handle and do not resize the image. They clip some of the image off so you may need a transparent border around the image to prevent vital parts being chopped off.
There are two versions. A two pass version that is fast but has really bad clipping at
90 degree angles, and a three pass version that is slower (but still pretty quick) but doesn't clip too much of the image off at any angle. |

no comments.
most likely you wont be able to modify and still work unless you are a blitz guru.
must create your own "kite.bmp" image.
if it dont work use:

| Title: fast fading of 2d or 3d screen
| Code Submitted By:
- tracer
| | Using a cheating way the screen gets faded from a color to nothing or from nothing to a color. VERY VERY fast. Uses 3D, so Blitz3D is required. A sprite of a color is placed right in front of the camera, the 2d (or 3d) gets places under this, alpha the sprite and you get a fade. |
