I considered posting this in the Programming forum, but decided it'd probably work better here due to the nature of these pieces.

You don't often find programs being submitted as art, but I think these two qualify. They're experimental widgets that I coded up do test various concepts and what I've ended up with are a couple of visual effects that I could stare at for hours on end. They don't so much have quality in detail or expression, but aesthetically, I find them quite appealing.

While I probably will not update these programs, I would like some feedback as to how you guys like them. I always find them fun to watch.



Super Duper Star Demo
The first one is an experimental particle engine that I created to test my ability to create... well, particle engines. It's the typical fountain demo, much the "Hello, World!" of particle engines. It uses sprites of various star shapes in various colors that move, blend, change hues and spin.

The 1 and 2 keys invoke different physics rule sets. The up and down keys change the number of star particles in the mix.

Stereoscopic Anaglyph... In 3D!
The other one is a proof-of-concept that anaglyphic effects can be integrated with ordinary OpenGL applications under Windows without any special software processing. Although it uses only functionality available in the Windows API, the color channel mixing is done by software (BitBlt, if you know what that is) and thusly requires a processor of, say, 1 GHz to show a smooth animation.

There are no keyboard controls for this demo, and the window cannot be resized. Red/Cyan 3D glasses are required to view it properly.



As with any progam, I give no guarantee that it will work and I provide no warranty as to the damages these softwares may cause. If you're concerned about system damage or viruses, spyware, what-have-you, then do not download these.

You may need the VB6 Runtimes to load the software if you're using a system older than Windows ME. These programs only work on Windows 95 and newer.

Neat. Now if I only had 3-D glasses...

Those are impressve.
