Hello fellow Piconians !
I was looking at some recent code by others and suddenly realized that we now have OVAL drawing ability ! I did not know this.
Back in GFA I had to use blitter stretch to get this kind of bubble effect. Of course in GFA you also had 24-bit color so I made the bubbles brighter on the edge and darker in the middle so they had a great luminescence about them.
I could do that here I suppose except with 16-colors it won't look so great.
Anyways what =IS= interesting and entertaining is that the bigger bubbles are sti-i-icky and they peel off the bottom of the screen before BOINGING upwards !
20 years ago I introduced the same effect to the GFA community to show the power of stretching a blitter object. At the time it was a pretty unique thing and lots of smiles all around indeed for finding a unique use for resizing a blitter object.
Today it is done much simpler with the ovalfill() routine.
What can YOU do with ovalfill() ?
