If they all had the same outward speeds, you'd wind up with a ring again.

It is the ring effect I'm trying to make :P

So use do_circle() and only draw every N'th pixel.

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

So use Timorgs idea, but I'd think it'd look pretty lame...

This is what mine looks like.
{"name":"600098","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/2\/3\/23cccd0089db987103d62c6fd5565b54.png","w":650,"h":509,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/2\/3\/23cccd0089db987103d62c6fd5565b54"}600098
This is about as much as I can do without it stopping being exciting.
But it has all those configurable parameters!
Source attached, includes a crappy makefile.
The code is terribly ugly.
If anyone is bored feel free to suggest a better general approach/design I should have taken in the first place to avoid having such an ugly POS.

(Allegro 4.9.16)

EDIT: uploaded improved Line.cpp (increased line thickness to make it stand out more)

Here's my piece of shit entry. The code is horribly ugly and there is a massive memory leak which I am far too lazy to fix. Hit the spacebar to launch a firework.

What exactly happened? Did it say anything? You'll need XNA GS 3.1 and .NET 3.5 in order to build it. And I think you just need .NET 3.5 to run it...

Perhaps you should look at the source before it is too late to resuscitate said soul.

Oh I thought you meant that your soul died, as there was no way you could compete with the entry.

If I can get all the C# programming tasks I assigned myself for the day finished before I have to leave for work this evening, I'll have a go at a real entry.

But hey, at least it was nice[1], tidy, code for two minutes worth of coding. ;)

You could've photoshopped it a bit, apart from resizing :P

Just figuring out how to re-tint the image in PhotoShop would have taken me longer than it took to code the entire thing. ;)

CTRL+U - Hue, Colorize
CTRL+T - Transform

Now you don't have to figure it out :)

Perhaps I should also have mentioned that I don't have PhotoShop. ;)
