The Demo Effects Collection / News: Recent posts

Version 0.7 of The Demo Effects Collection adds a new raytracer demo and includes many fixes and improvements.

TDEC's run time demo plugin system has been extended with functions to pass effect's parameters to plugins by using a parameter
list. This makes it possible to add effects defined in a database or from a script.
Some simple effect and filter plugins were added to the PLUGINS directory to demonstrate how easy it is to implement these.
Check out the improved MULTILAYER demo to see it all in action.

The Demo Effects Collection has been extended with a run-time pluggable multi-layered demo effects plugin system, which is able to show a lot of effects, filters and transition plugins concurrently and can be used to create demo's. This is now part of libTDEC.
Plugins can be found in the PLUGINS directory.

Check out the new MULTILAYER demo to see the system in action.

TDEC's libWPCG was extended with an animation manager. Object instancing is now complete, objects are able to share a model and independently animate it and detect collision detection. The 3D camera was improved and 3D object picking is functioning again. The DEMONS effect was added with shows the latest 3D features of TDEC and libWPCG

Added 4 new effects. BARSCROLLER, 3D TUNNEL, 2D BLOB and TUXTRAIL with a mozaiek end effect. The TDEC lib was extended with extra functions for scaling a SDL surface. The WPCG lib was optimized and the use of OPCODE in the library was improved and is now significantly faster. TDEC now consists of over 30 effects!

TDEC 0.2 includes 3 new effects. First a 3D plasmacube effect and second and third 2 mean 2D sine scroller variations.
A lighting bug in the WPCG library was solved and the WPCG namespace was added to it

Enjoy!
