I dunno, kinda cool

This is a program I did when I saw a shape drawn with polar coordinates (I was done with my math test so i decided to look in a calculus book...I got a 73 on the test :() . I tried doing it myself. It just rotates a vector and multiplies each by a sine wave.

One is the sine of the angle * 4, one is the sine of the angle * 3, and one is the sine of an exponential model that is increasing and decreasing at a certain percent in a sine fashion (goes up, goes down, goes up, goes down, etc). The color and blended transparencies also move in sine waves.

EDIT: and oh yeah, move around with w,a,s,d and mouse to see the other two things.

groooovy!!

if your into that kinda stuff you should look for some of the popular xlock screensavers, there are some crazy trippy ones. good stuff.

wow...that was sweet -_-

I was going to add blended bitmaps and do all kinds of cool stuff but i'm working on a project that is actually cool so I'm back to that.

Wow, really cool program! It reminded me a little of a dream I had once... errr, maybe that's not a good thing. :)

Very nice! I bet if you used DirectX/OpenGL and made them polygons with lights and fog it'd be even cooler. Has great potential for a screensaver.

I tried using polygons but the oscillating effect of the movement and transparency caused 'blips' in between adjacent polygons and stuff, and in short looked like a bunch of crap

OMFG!!!!!! That is one of the kewlest things I've ever seen, seriously!!!! Maybe with this I can get some women!!!!

ive actually seen something with that shape in it, ..........ah yes, in petzold's windows book, chapter 5, program : "Clover".

these are called rose petals, they're in basically every calculus book I've ever seen.

Wow, that's pretty cool :D

What is with you people and dragging up old posts?

it was still in my 'subscribed threads' thing I didn't know it was old I figured someone had just replied to it
