Challenge (eye-candy) - Water

[pom]

The theme is WATER, 25 lines is the maximum.
Show me what you got, people!

[farafiro]

so, where is yours??

[pom]

Where is it specified that I should be the first to post?

[farafiro]

within the rules, Jesse says the starter should .............

[pom]

Damn it! I knew I should have taken reading lessons at some point in my life...

I won't be able to produce anything before the weekend, unfortunately so let's wait until then for this challenge.

Eeeeeeeeeeeehm... uuuuuuhm... what do you understand for "water"

This is the only idea I had!

/*
* Description: waves of dots moving! 
*/
wavesNum = 3; // Tested with 3 waves
phase = new Array(index); // Different initial phase for each wave
vertOff = new Array(index); // Vertical offset for each wave
steps = 26; // Controles the wave's width 
amplitude = 8; // Controles the waves amplitude
// Initializations
for(index=0; index<wavesNum; index++){
    _root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc"+index, 1+index);
    phase[index] = 1.5*index;
    vertOff[index] = 100 + index*50;
}
// Draw method
function draw() {                     
    for(index=0; index<wavesNum; index++){
        // Clear the content to repaint
        _root["mc"+index].clear();
        for(i=0;i<steps;i+=0.5){
            xpos = i*22; // A good distance to display the dots without overlapping
            ypos = vertOff[index] + Math.sin(i+phase[index])*amplitude;
            _root["mc"+index].moveTo(xpos, ypos);
            blue = 0x0000FF + ypos;
            _root["mc"+index].lineStyle(10, blue);
            // Draw a little line to simulate a dot
            _root["mc"+index].lineTo(xpos+0.15, ypos);    
        }
        // The next time we draw the wave it will have a diferent phase
        // to simulate the movement
        phase[index] += 0.5;
    }
}
setInterval(draw, 25);

I find this challenges a funny way of sharing code!

ooooh, nice one inudor!

love your code, reminds me of the good old times.

Ok here is my effort, it's supposed to be raindrops!! My first flash coding effort so don't be too harsh!

i = 0;
maxDrips = 100;
function startDrip(_xpos,_ypos, _index) {
    if (_index < 0) {
        _root.createEmptyMovieClip("index"+i,2+i);
        _index = i++;
    }
    else
        _root["index"+_index].clear();
    _root["index"+_index]._x = _xpos;
    _root["index"+_index]._y = _ypos;
    _root["index"+_index].lineThickness = 10;
    _root["index"+_index].lineStyle(10, 0x0000FF, 100);
    _root["index"+_index].lineTo(0.15, 0);
}

function updateWater() {
    for (z = 0; z < i;z++) {
        _root["index"+z].clear();
        _root["index"+z].lineStyle(++_root["index"+z].lineThickness, 0x0000FF, 100-_root["index"+z].lineThickness);
        _root["index"+z].lineTo(0.15, 0);
        if (_root["index"+z].lineThickness == 99) 
            startDrip(random(500), random(500),z);
    }
    if (i < maxDrips)
        startDrip(random(500), random(500),-1);
}   

setInterval(updateWater, 25);

Wheeeee!

Wow. I sure wish we started this forum a long time ago. Two killer entries so far! Keep them up! I might even try my hand at this one but I gotta think of an idea first.

[McGiver]

this eye-candy water is no bad idea, the problem is we all lack eye-candy ideas for projects with less than 25 lines (-->respect to george and inudor who managed to make it within these limits). The thing with eye candy is, that most beatiful things need time, and either premade graphics/movies, or at least much more lines

-->My idea is a waterdrop which keeps its hull: because i am too lazy to do that on my own (and it would be probably bigger than 25 lines) look the actual Bit 101 experiment of 21 und 22.05.
(he must have stolen my idea )
