Simple Interference circle effect

Post by osgeld »

Simple Interference circle effect

(public domain, if you need clarification)

simple theory:
2 similar patterns passing over each other at different angles will create a new additive type pattern, ie hold your fingers, spread apart, on both hands, over each other and change the angle of your 2 hands...

simple execution:
ring pattern passing over each other in opposite directions in a set offset (from a fixed center point) radius, ie move in a circle

simple benefits of this post:
1) create a nifty effect in ~30 lines of script, that will either get you that "your a dork" look from your better half, make a drunk puke on the floor (hopefully not yours), or make everyone who has never seen / done this type of effect give you mad props on a forum (cough, cough)

2) learn how to move "objects" in a circle with minimal script, handy next time your making a top down type of game, or need a bitchin loading icon, ect

3) its the first thing i have released ever on the love forums ;)
