JCL-Plasma v1.3a - © 1994 JCL-Software This is a routine I've knocked up over the last couple of days to generate a 'real' plasma effect. It was inspired by the plasma in RFVDEMO.ZIP by Thomas Hagen, and seeing his made me want to go write one of my own. This one is a little different, however, from the routines already available (there are a couple of others). Firstly it runs in full-screen 320x200 (as opposed to 160x100), and on my 486DX/33 it runs at _70fps_ both of which are vast improvements over the others that I have seen. A 486 is recommended for this code. It will work on a 386, but its a bit jerky. (note that this will NOT work on a 286 - sorry). I've put all the source code here - feel free to tweak, especially with the generating functions, but PLEASE distribute this ZIP file intact. Contents:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this program is ancient history when viewed by internet time. it's 1999 now, we've got 3D modelling, virtual reality, this and that blah blah blah blah... but you know what?!?!!!! Plasma is simple, small, runs on windows95, and it produces some stunning effects!! what more do you want?!!! what more could you possibly want?!?!!! it's a good program! get it and enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ what i like best about Plasma is it's mercurial motion. you can't see it with a screenshot (since it's not moving), but the fluid way Plasma shifts and glides and flows on your screen is very surreal, sort-of weird, and kind-of spooky. pretty cool really!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
