Hi Anton, Cool demo! You reminded me that I forgot to announce my latest one so enjoy it too: do http://www.rebol.cz/~cyphre/spiral.r or desktop/sites/cyphre/spiral tides regards, Cyphre PS: I'm not sure but this demo would need latest beta of Rebol/View (http://www.reboltech.com/downloads/view1208031.exe)

Yes, I agree. So why don't you people send something to next Rebol Demo Competition? :) April 2003 is right behind the door ;) bye, bolek oh, yes, a demo: rd: [1x1 0x1 -1x1 -1x0 -1x-1 0x-1 1x-1 1x0] cl: [255.127.127 255.255.127 127.255.127 127.255.255 127.127.255 255.127.255] view layout [ b: box 151x151 with [ ;text: "o" rate: 0 edge: none image: make image! 151x151 font: make font [color: 127.127.127 shadow: 0x0 size: 15 style: 'bold] feel: make feel [ engage: func [f a e][ switch a [ time [ f/effect: compose/deep [ draw [pen (cs: first cl cl: next cl if tail? cl [cl: head cl] cs) circle 75x75 6] (xx: to-image f) crop 5x5 140x140 fit contrast (random 4) ;(5 - random 3) blur sharpen blur luma (-15 - random 10) ] f/image: to-image f show f ] ] ] ] ] ]

Same here. Same version.

Thanks Gregg! Yeah, that's a pretty spiffy demo Cyphre! Though, a question/comment: At least on my computer (running Win98SE), the very edges of the display retain smudges of previous spiral colors. Is this normal?

Hi everybody, Seems that the next Official Demo Competition will be stiff and tough ... Better chance for anybody else ! Keep up the good work Boleslav, Cyphre and Anton. You're my favorite runners up until now... This will for sure spark some real interest among other contenders as well ... I will simply look at the submissions and final scores for next contest, unless ... Cheers, Gerard

It's not good to assume everyone is running latest view beta. I make sure to test everything I post on view versions 1.2.1, 1.2.5 and 1.2.8. You can keep copies of each rebol/view binary in the same directory, sharing all the desktop settings, public cache etc. Just name them rebol12131.exe etc. so you can distinguish them easily. Anton.

Cyphre, Not only are you superb with REBOL graphics but superior in math skills as well. Great Demo! Paul Tretter

 [12/20] from: chalz:earthlink at: 2-Dec-2002 23:20


Thank you, Anton. In my opinion, it's unwise to release code for the beta version of a product, unless it's only available as beta anyways. Particularly when the official site says you're running the current version. (For instance, 'upgrade' tells me it doesn't recognize my version of /View *boggle*. However, when I use the Desktop and choose the Upgrade option from REBOL.com, it says I'm running the current ver.) You should make special note in you're code if it's not using the standard, stable release.

We should all be putting a "needs" in our headers. Then at least people would realise they have the wrong version of REBOL instead of thinking they've stumbled across a bug in the script. ie...
>> write %test.r {REBOL [Needs: [REBOL/View 1.2.1]] print "OK."} >> do %test.r
OK.
>> write %test.r {REBOL [Needs: [REBOL/View 1.2.2]] print "OK."} >> do %test.r
** Script Error: This script needs 1.2.2 or better to function correctly ** Near: do %test.r No use for our cut&paste example snippets, but important in proper scripts I think. -- Carl Read

those smudges at the edges of face are caused by some bug in View IMO regards, Cyphre

Hi Joel, Charles ...and others who couldn't get the demo running I appologize for it but I use the latest betaversion for about half a year and I forgot it is still beta ;-) It is so stable (good work RT!) OTOH I've warned you at the end of my previous mail saying: PS: I'm not sure but this demo would need latest beta of Rebol/View (http://www.reboltech.com/downloads/view1208031.exe) regards, Cyphre

Cyphre, That's ok for well-acquainted rebolers like you and me, but I think it discriminates against newcomers to rebol. Why limit your audience this way? Don't you care that your demos are not able to be seen by some newcomers? It's not very impressive if it doesn't work. It's easy enough to copy and paste into a different rebol version to make sure it does work. I still think your demo is cool. :) Anton.

Hi, sorry, but it's not so easy to make some demos work in earlier versions of REBOL. View 1.2.1 (last official version) does not support alpha-channel, has got some serious bugs in draw dialect (well, 1.2.8 still has got most of that bugs), so it's not just copy'n'paste source for 'as-pair. What discriminates newcomers is RT's release policy. Last official version 1.2.1 is one and half yaer old and even the 'beta' is four months old! Are they doing so heavy testing? I know, they've got new toy right now, the SDK, but I'm really not interested in some development kit when the language itself is still buggy :((( bolek PS: I'm not so paranoic about hiding my source code from everyone's eye using encap, no, I just need my code to run without problems, so bugfixing View is really higher priority for me than some SDK.

Re: a demo


Yes, true, I didn't think about the new beta effects. And... don't get so upset about life. There are *always* going to be unresolved bugs, missing features, documentation etc etc... Anton.

Gotcha Cyphre. It's quite attractive. Any idea how well it would work as a fullscreen screensaver? ;)

I'm so paranoic that I rather do not trust applications where I don't see the source:) 99.9% of all these "Try this my new game" are nothing more then Troyan horses to me. =( Oliva David )=======================( [oliva--david--seznam--cz] )== =( Earth/Europe/Czech_Republic/Brno )============================= =( coords: [lat: 49.22 long: 16.67] )=============================
