I guess this pixelart deserves a prize, too

Wow @garvalf and @p2 those animations look amazing, especially the jungle one

u/garvalf December 26, 2016, 09:21:38 PM

The simpson anim is cool.

For the jungle one, in fact it's not really an animation, it's more amazing that that, it's only color cycling! It was made on Amiga by Mark Ferrari.
Check is website, there are more: http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/ (this version is not animated gif so you can't save it unfortunately, it recreates the cycling with html5)

This other thing is very cool too: http://www.effectgames.com/demos/worlds/ (you can change the hour of the day and the pixels will change too)

Oh nice idea. I actually thought about using color cycling before in a game if Doors CE 9 was to come out earlier than now. It would have most likely allowed fast animations. In some games I also used the same color for multiple IDs in one sprite so that I could store multiple sprites into one.

Placing the colors accordingly can be a major chore, though.

I'd love a desktop background that would do that based on the current system time.

By the way I just checked the site above again as I did not notice garvalf's edit and I love how you can now change the hour of day and other settings for each scenery. It's really done well and a lot of work must have been put into this. This is going to the CW articles pending queue for sure.

Reminds me, for that Simpsons GIF, gotta link to the full video, it's simply amazing.

Oh, and the guy also made the Rick and Morty intro, it's amazing as well.

Gotta love Paul Robertson's work.

nice coincidence, watched the first eppisode again just yesterday

cant wait for season three tho

FREE RICK SANCHEZ!!
cs out 'till Rick's out

u/Yuki January 31, 2017, 09:40:06 AM

Yeah, I can't wait to see how that cliffhanger will get resolved. Probably something stupid, who knows.

u/p2 January 31, 2017, 09:50:13 AM

I'd be disappointed if not

also I guess the day season 3 comes out I'll take a day off just to watch it all at once

It'll sooo much worth it

That last vid was weird lol but it looks nice in old-school graphics style. The Rick and Morty video reminds me a bit of the 16-bits Doctor Who remix

The magic of Dolphin 5.0

u/xMarminq_ February 08, 2017, 03:51:35 AM

@STV that was nauseating, the the graphics of the emulator are good

u/Dream of Omnimaga February 08, 2017, 03:58:18 AM

Woah @STV that is amazing. I really need to check out if my 2009 Intel Core i7 machine can run those games in full speed.

u/GalacticPirate February 08, 2017, 10:52:55 AM

@DJ Omnimaga My Broadwell Intel Core i3-5005U with an Intel integrated GPU could play some Wii games at full speed on 1.5 tmes Internal Resolution (720p), so any i7 should do the job. The problem is that a 2009 one is older than Sandy Bridge, and that could be a problem. The official site recommends at least Ivy Bridge or Haswell for optimal performance :

Anyways, Dolphin can actually handle an unlimited internal resolution. They manage to take a screenshot of SMG at 31x Internal Resolution, something like 30000x20000p
