Random programs

[JakeP]

A bunch of programs that I've made on my spare. Just fooling around in Turing (funny language)

Whoops, particles2.exe isn't the right file, it just crashes when it's opened. I'll put up the code tomorrow.

here we go

For the particle system, I tried changing the maximum amount of particles and it wouldn't change. I found a variable called life or something in the class was also affecting it so I had to change that as well.

I also noticed you are searching for dead particles when you want to make a new one. I like to have a list of dead particles and simply grab one from there to improve performance.

Maximum stops it from creating balls at a certain point, there was another demo that had multiple sources of particles (for blood, lol) and it would get slow after a certain amount. Theres a variable for life or something which would indicate when a particle is dead and can be replaced (sometimes i set elasticity to 1 and a vert short life time, turn off gravity etc so checking for it standing still on the ground isnt great)

Yeah, a list would be much better, good idea. Ripples uses a search too, but I could care less about its speed (its damn fast as it is)

A cool thing to do with the particles thing is put sound (ball.x*10, 1) (or whatever variable) where it bounces off the ground. And by cool, I mean annoying.
