Drawmachine 2

hehe, check this little baby out i made!!

(NOTE: refresh page to generate new pattern, sometimes u can get a completely symmetric pattern, if youā€™re lucky! :P)

Thatā€™s awesome eilsoe :slight_smile:

Wow! How did you do that?!?

pom :asian:

I cheated!! :stuck_out_tongue: Ahahaaa!!

Itā€™s incredibly simpleā€¦ :slight_smile:

shall i post the fla.? :slight_smile:

sure:)

here ya goā€¦

Feel free to mess it up as u want! :stuck_out_tongue:

(my right shift button doesnā€™t workā€¦ strangeā€¦ maybe itā€™s low on batteriesā€¦)

Itā€™s a spirograph! You did it using mathematical equations right?

heheā€¦ nopeā€¦

only for 3 circlesā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue:

check it out yourselfā€¦

That is very clever eilsoe. But if I may make one suggestion.

I heard that if you alpha something to 0, flash still renders it, but if you make it _visible = false then Flash doesnā€™t render it anymore.

I am supposing you could just turn alpha = 0 to _visible = false and it will ā€œoptimizeā€ the movie. It does work either way, I tried, I am just not sure if it really optimizes anything or if it is just another method of doing things.

Does it render someting with an alpha of 0?

well anyway, it works either way yesā€¦ :slight_smile:

I guess we have to wait for Ilyas or someone else to answer out questions about it rendering or optimizing:)

yeah, thatā€™d be some useful info in my bookā€¦

but since this movie isnā€™t that complicated, i donā€™t think it makes much of a difference thoughā€¦

but if it optimizes it, then iā€™d definitely go with _visible=false; on this oneā€¦ and in the futureā€¦

Iā€™m think that if something is _alpha 0 then it is still rendered - I even think _visible is still rendered. When I started making games I would have the original bullet _visible false, then the others dups of the original but if the bad guys went to the area where the orginal was _visible false - they still hit tested true - so Iā€™m presuming that using either would still render them.

Just thought Iā€™d clear up on this subjectā€¦

If you set a MC to _visible=false; it does NOT renderā€¦

Not in my FlashMXā€¦ Tried it with hittests and allā€¦

However, setting a MCā€™s alpha to 0 still renders itā€¦

OMG!! Your telling me that ive spent all this time making art with my Spirograph andā€¦ flash can do it for me?! MY WHOLE YOUTH HAS BEEN WASTED. My life has no meaning nowā€¦ I guess iā€™ll have to take up some other life long journeyā€¦

hehe =)

Hmmā€¦ I just had an ideaā€¦ one that I myself, cannot bring to lifeā€¦

ā€œThe 3-Dimensional Spirographā€

Something for the AS-3d sickā€™n twisted codersā€¦ :slight_smile:
