Fun with DPaint
This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.
I haven't seen any other messages describing such things as little tricks you
can play with the software we've got (I don't have 'C' yet, and no docs for
AmigaBasic, so I can only tinker). But I found that if you give a range of
colors in cycle mode, take a circle of a cycle color for a brush, then make it
cyclically symmetrical (10 – 20 points — whatever your taste) then a slow
counterclockwise motion from the center creates Polyscope easy as pie. Hit the
tab key and keep painting. I have played with it in lo-res, medium and high.
It's a stunning example of how easy it is to create complicated effects with
the Amiga. Let me know if you like this, or am I the last person here who
figured out you could do stuff like this?
By the way, does anyone know where I should go for a hint on the game of
Questron? Some friends and I are playing it on an Atari and we can't get past
the molten boulder to save our necks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
