A background to sprite collision detection (pixel perfect)

Has 10 skill levels. Guess a number from 1 to xxx.

I just made something for my cousin and thought jou would like to see how you can just make something with alphabetical keys it's actually kinda stupid but i thought i would just put it online here

Demonstrates the principles required to "lay" a matrix over the top of an X object like draping a cloth over it.

Search for a string in an array using the binary search.

Example of a QuickSort function.

Quick Sort Function for upto 1000 records press Yes at prompt to see graphic demo of sort.

Often I dont get though the tons of object-numbers... Maybe you too! Here is a simple way of using NAMES instead...

A large bouncing scroller, bouncing stars and distorting logos! Old-skool rules - sorry for the poor code structure, no time to optimise.

A little sonic inspired intro

Old Amiga demo effect re-done in DB, simple but effective.

This was actually coded by my girlfriend and makes a nice melting picture effect!

An updated version of my LCD text writer, now reads from a data statement for handling multiple-lines.

This is a traditional sine-wave routine, only it pre-calculates the sine and cosine waves so we only paste 1 image every frame, not every line. This means we can get x21 256x113 distorters going at full frame rate on a P3-450.

Vertically ripples a 640x480 2D image with an almost water like effect

Scroll text vertically up the screen, ala film credits. Resolution independant, doesn't require graphics files.

Brings on a 640x480 picture in 16x16 spiral chunks. Simple but nice opening effect.

Cute explosive fun, nothing more, nothing less.

Creates a Quad & Assigns it Vertex Colours

This Function will display a 2D box radar of your main character and all other objects on the matrix... It will be in the top right corner of the screen and uses circles to represent objects.

A simulation of beads on a piece of elastic...

Reusable screensaver structure with configuration screen. Now you can easily make your own saver !

Original code by: BigGun - dmartin@cnl.com.au - http://www.thebiggun.com. Modify the values below for different effects. Simple but lovely.

I wanted to do a complete game that didn't use any external BMP files. Here is the end result! Use the cursor keys or joystick and blow away the on-coming alien hordes. Features math based collision, smooth controls, 5 levels, score and great graphics in only 17k :-)

Coded by S. Lintula (sasu@dpoy.vip.fi) and optimised by R. Davey. Based on the fire code from Snippets Vol 3, this is a very nice piece of work indeed! Change the number of flames/sparks created per frame.

30 Vertical "rasters" sine-waving against a starfield and logo. Uses a BMP for the rasters because I'm too lazy to generate with code :)

This routine is nice, fast, works in whatever resolution you want and creates a cool, fast scroller using text only (no external graphics). Infact it's fast enough to have the entire screen full of scrollers!

Original coded by Yacullo (mike@planetofthegeeks.com) and modified slightly by Requiem to add the background. Used with permission.

Coded by S. Lintula (sasu@dpoy.vip.fi) and optimised by R. Davey. This is a special updated version of the Real Fire code exclusively for the DarkForge Snippets Volume 4. Faster and smoother.

Based on my snow code and then modified by D.Fawcett and Raven to add the "wind" effect. I swapped out the "dot" commands for a paste image because it's a lot faster.
