Hi Ozzy,

The code for download includes both crunched and non-crunched versions.

Nice job with the visuals. My only issue with this entry is that there isn’t any interactivity. However, the tips on keeping file size down is great.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Rene, glad you liked it. Regarding the PlaneProjection, perhaps you are right, if I had the time I would have loved to have created a proper multi-part MegaDemo.

No I did not use WriteableBitmapEx, those are just plain old lines., but I do have some plans to use that library for something cool in the near future …

Regards, Colin E.

Thanks Adam. The audio code is a little hard to follow in its crunched form, if you want to know anything, give me a shout.

Regards, Colin E.

Nicely done! Great tips on file size and I’m going to have to check out your audio code.

Nice entry and I like it a lot for the old school demo FX. I think it would have worked better if you would have left the PlaneProjection out. Anyway, cool stuff!
Have you used the WriteableBitmapEx for the line drawing?
