| Today is first sunday of advent :-) Some will remember my small demo from last year. This time I put all things together in a single executable with new sampled music based on free MIDIs, grab it here and enjoy the peaceful show. Again - press Space to switch between the two modes, in firework mode press LMB for a new rocket and RMB to reset the rockets. Download Demo: Letitsnow_2013.zip (5.5MB) Screenshots (looks even better in action):   Merry christmas and - soon - a happy new year to you all! |

| Very nice. Any chance of a fullscreen version/option? |
| ||
| Yes, and beside that I decided to create a separate 2013 version with a new image, a better snowflakes stick effect which blends now with the image and fading / more rockets from the start. The image has now 1920x1200 resolution which should be sufficient for HD fullscreen (instead of my old laptop resolution 1280x800). Get it here now: Download Single Executable Letitsnow2013.zip (11MB) or Download Source+Media Letitsnow2013_source.zip (11MB) if you want to compile / create your own version   Be inspired. |

| Thanks for sharing. Will have a look at is as I try to improve my snowflakes code here: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=101695 |

| Nice ! I hope next year the comet will be animated ;-) |
| ||
| Hmm let's see - I need to save some ideas for the coming years :-) |
| ||
| Bump. It's christmas again! I didn't had the time to make a new one so I simply recycled last year's thread ;-) Best wishes for the Christmas Season and for a successful year 2015 to you all... |

| we need a new Christmas demo... been waiting all year for it! |

| A long long time ago.. I saw a beautiful demo of one of these glass snow bulbs which you can shake to have snow swirling down, with a small village/town in it with lights on etc. Then the cam would zoom in, go through the glass until it was inside the village to fly round across the town x-mass/winter scenes and then eventually zoom back out. Now in my mind that was a Blitz demo, but it's sooo long ago I'm probably imagining things. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? |
| ||
| @Rick>>Yes i have tried a game similar to what you describe, the "glass snow bulb" was in a room if i remember correctly. |
| ||
Well not quite a xmas town but I've made a procedural snow globe in Blitz3D years ago: Discworld But I'd like to see the other demo you mentioned, I don't know it yet. |
| ||
| You know that most often the snow on tropical islands comes packaged in plastic bags :p. bye Ron |
| ||
| @Krischan>>your snow globe demo is really slow on my computer, any idea why ? (lack of few ("single") surfaces particles maybe ?) |
| ||
| Do you have Debug turned on? |
| ||
| @Floyd>>yes it was slow because of debug mode on. Thanks ! |
| ||
| I liked the contrast: procedural snow on procedural tropical islands. Exaggerate to impress ;-) Just kidding, I played Far Cry again and had only islands in my mind when I made it. |
| ||
| Bump, it's Christmas again. Sorry no new demo this year again as I'm working on Extrasolar Origin in my spare time. Download Single Executable Letitsnow2013.zip (11MB) or Download Source+Media Letitsnow2013_source.zip (11MB) if you want to compile / create your own version Be inspired. |
