OT: One-color Lava Lamp
With C++, I made this near thingie that slowly changes color in full-screen. It requires DirectX 8.1. Press any color to exit. Tell me what you think  |

It's glowy! A nice no-nonsense screen saver or night light.

Re: OT: One-color Lava Lamp
You might want to have it detect mouse clicks as well as key presses.

Re: OT: One-color Lava Lamp
Tried that, but it kept closing right after it started up.

Re: OT: One-color Lava Lamp
I could never figure out how to do those plasma thingies.

Re: OT: One-color Lava Lamp
Not bad at all... I need to learn DX9. I've done openGL, before, and I wasn't too impressed.
Is it on a time controlled loop to prevent going faster or slower on different computers?

Re: OT: One-color Lava Lamp
Put a one-second delay before it tests for a mouse press.
That should work.
IF you're testing for a mouse move, test to see if it has moved MORE that x pixels (x about 5 or 10), and not just if it moved at all.

Re: OT: One-color Lava Lamp
I just had it to where if the program was sent a WM_MOUSEMOVE event, it posted the quit message.
The program uses SetTimer() in order to keep it at a steady pace. SetTimer() calls TimerProc() every 25 milliseconds to change the global color values.
This isn't that advanced, it just clears the screen in a slowly shifting color.
On another note, I never knew that all these people on these fourms programmed in C++...

C++ is an easy language to get started with, so I'm sure people here know a bit. Most people here probably don't do programming as a job, I'd bet.
I'm a Java programmer at the moment, but my favorite language is by far C#. I also do C/C++, COBOL, FORTRAN, Perl, SQL, JCL, and things like HTML, Javascript, databases, web programming, XML, etc..
Yay programming.
