Super small demo

[retrotails]

I got bored.

Code: Select all

q=love g=q.graphics m=math function q.load()l={};t=0 end function q.update(d)t=t+d end function q.draw()for i=1,75 do x=m.sin(t+i)*64 c=128-64*(m.sin(t+i)-m.sin(t+i+1))g.setColor(c,c,c,128)g.circle('fill',x+400,i*8,8,8)g.setColor(c,c,c,128)g.circle('fill',x+398,i*8-2,4,8)l[i*2-1]=x+400 l[i*2]=i*8 end g.line(l)end

I made this for part of my picross intro and figured it could stand alone, squished into 314 bytes. It looks so intimidating, despite the simple original code (that does a few more things)

Code: Select all

    for i = 1,screen.h/8 do
        local x = math.sin(game.timer + i) * 64
        local color = 128 - 64*(math.sin(game.timer + i) - math.sin(game.timer + i + 1))
        love.graphics.setColor(color, color, color, 128)
        love.graphics.circle('fill', x + screen.w/2, i*8, 8, 8)
        love.graphics.setColor(color, color, color, 128)
        love.graphics.circle('fill', x + screen.w/2 - 2, i*8 - 2, 4, 8)
        tmp[i*2-1] = x + screen.w/2
        tmp[i*2] = i*8
    end
    love.graphics.setColor(128, 128, 192)
    love.graphics.line(tmp)
    love.graphics.setColor(255, 255, 255)

Feel free to post your own, I want to see what others can make.

That looks so good!

Nice

I managed to reduce it to 268 bytes.

For some reason, my .love is larger than yours, even though the main.lua is 46 bytes smaller. Oh well.

I thought about doing all that but searching for when making a global saved space seemed too time consuming. Also I wouldn't have thought to make 255 a global constant.
Anyway, this is an interesting illusion - Look at the right half and it appears to move up, look to the left and it appears to move left, and you can also see it moving up and left diagonally. It also appears to get brighter if you stare at it as a whole.
Or maybe I'm stoned and don't remember getting stoned.

Code: Select all

n=255 a=32 l=love g=l.graphics m=math function l.load()t=0 end function l.update(d)t=t+d end function l.draw()for x=0,25 do for y=0,19 do g.setColor(n,n,n,m.sin(m.mod((x+y+t*8)/8,1))*n)g.rectangle('fill',x*a,y*a,a,a)end end end

This is the best time waster at high school, it seems.
not getting stoned. i dont do drugs of any kind.
The .love is bigger then the contents - I'm on a school XP desktop right now but when I compressed my other one I was at home on Linux. Maybe this is why your .love was larger then mine, Robin.

saved some characters in your boxes.love, now down to 198 bytes:

Code: Select all

n=255 a=32 t=0 l=love g=l.graphics function l.update(d)t=t+d end function l.draw()for x=0,25 do for y=0,19 do g.setColor(n,n,n,math.sin(((x+y+t*8)/8)%1)*n)g.rectangle('fill',x*a,y*a,a,a)end end end

also the zip size is smaller now, compressing with "zip -9X" on Linux results in a 266 bytes zip file.

These are super cool! The boxes illusion is really interesting. I think I even saw it moving diagonally down and right, but like, as if it were really really fast and losing frames. I may be crazy.

Further advancements!

Helix:

Code: Select all

q=love g=q.graphics C=g.circle S=g.setColor m=math.sin l={}t=0 h=128 f='fill'function q.draw()t=t+q.timer.getDelta()for i=1,75 do x=m(t+i)*64 c=h-x+64*m(t+i+1)S(c,c,c,h)C(f,x+400,i*8,8,8)S(c,c,c,h)C(f,x+398,i*8-2,4,8)l[i*2-1]=x+400 l[i*2]=i*8 end g.line(l)end

Boxes:

Code: Select all

n=255 a=32 t=0 l=love g=l.graphics function l.draw()t=t+l.timer.getDelta()for x=0,25 do for y=0,19 do g.setColor(n,n,n,math.sin(((x+y+t*8)/8)%1)*n)g.rectangle('fill',x*a,y*a,a,a)end end end
