I think the first of the allrgb set has more in the way of fine-detail swirls.

Stuff that happens when stuff doesn't load:

I really wish I could do that.
*Doesn't understand the first thing about connecting programming to visuals*

>.> Honestly being able to do that to me makes you a god <.<

So, what would you call wanting to know how to do/learn everything?

Unresolved ambition. And likely personal foolhardiness.

Tripy circles. X o X
I tryed doing fractals at one point in the past and they didn't turn out well. I hate math too, so I'm guessing that was the problem.

Yeah, you definitely have to appreciate math to stick with it very long.

I remember I used to despise math, but it turned out that I only despised math CLASSES.

Oh man. So trippy. I like. I will have to look at these after I have smoked.

Ha, I forgot about this thread. Now I kinda wanna go render some more stuff with different parameters.

I have other things to do, though. Even discounting work and packing for my move, if I spend time hacking on creative stuff I want to spend it on algorithmic music instead of graphics. I've got some ideas that have been floating around in my head for a long time on how to try to get past the problems most algorithmic music systems run into.

Oh cool! You should share when you got a piece you like.

Wow Coda, that's some pretty neat stuff. Even if it is just a render, still probably takes some tweaking to make it look like anything interesting. Makes you an artist in my book ;)

Well, this isn't algorithmic music, but it's still music -- I realized I need to get some more practice in writing music myself before I can ever have a chance of teaching a computer how to do it.

So I wrote this: http://xmpps.greenmaw.com/~coda/stuff/mm2style.m4a

Or you can also see it this way: http://xmpps.greenmaw.com/~coda/tracker/mm2style.html

It's meant to be a study in the style of the Mega Man 2 soundtrack. It's not finished yet -- I still need percussion (the tracker can't do percussion correctly yet) and there are a few places that don't quite sound right and I can't figure out how to fix it, so I'm reaching out for critique and advice.

Oh hey, finally someone else who uses MML for composing.

I... uh... wrote that in Noteworthy Composer and then transcribed it to MML in order to generate the audio. >.>

But yeah, I wrote that MML player.

Did you know the NES's "triangle" channel isn't actually a triangle wave? It actually looks like this:


Did you know the NES's "noise" channel isn't actually white noise, but a specific generated pattern? And there are actually TWO such noise generators?

Yeah, I learned those things while working on this, and I've got a perfect emulation of one of the noise generators, a nearly-perfect emulation of the other one, and a close enough approximation to the triangle wave to pick up the harmonics you hear on the original hardware.

Huh, interesting.

And haha, only reason I know how to do MML stuff is because of Mabinogi.

I've never played Mabinogi but I did look through a bunch of Mabinogi examples when looking for sample MML code to test my engine with.
