Morph 101 - Intro to Morphing

Somewhere in the 90s, after being inspired by Terminator 2, I sat down and wrote a Morph application in AMOSpro. Terminator 2 introduced the world to T2, a liquid metal Terminator from the future that could shape shift into anything it touched. I was slightly obsessed with the special effects and tried to deconstruct them. AMOS pro was my choice of language at the time. Even though limited by the language, I was definitely going to do something very similar in 2D. Sadly, the AMOSpro code is not available anymore due to an unhappy 30 year old HDD (I remember it taking a while to render a single frame), but I do have my code that I converted to BlitxMax2 . Heres the output from the code back in the day. In the next few pages I will take you through how I built it, hopefully inspiring you to make your own morpher in your favourite language and at the same time re-writing it in CerberusX My choice of language at the moment is CerberusX and all examples will...

Morph 105 - Optimisation

In the Morph 102, i mentioned that i wouldnt optimise. Well, I lied. The previous chapters processed the colour of each pixel within every polygon. This is something I had to do as textures didnt exist in 1991 (no for me anyway) Well now, we have gfx standards that deliver the above a lot faster. Screens are now true colour, rather than 32 indexed colours. The Amiga did have HAM mode which meant my implementation in BlitzBasic was a lot better. True colour makes all colours accessible, which means we can fade between colours by changing the alpha of the second image and not worry about working out every individual color. If we draw the first image (as a solid colour) and then change the alpha for the second image from 0 (transparent) to 1 (solid) we will still have the same effect as processing each pixel using linear interpolation. The benefit is we are drawing the whole image at once and dont have to worry about pixels. t will become our alpha value. The ne...

Curves in all the right places

Curves are now my latest favourite thing For my latest game I need to implement smooth curves that pass through points in the screen. With my basic knowledge of curves I know there are definitely many functions to choose from but for the purposes of this article I'm going to stick to 2 Catmull Rom Spline curves Bezier Curves There are 2 distinct differences between the 2. Catmull Rom Spline curves (or CRS curves from now in) pass through each point. To control the curve you move the points. Bezier on the other hand, while connecting 2 points the steepness and curve are generated by 2 other control points. So essentially, Bezier doesnt pass through all the points. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages, but both are perfect for gamedev. Building the class Let's start by building a point class.. Class Point Field x:Float Field y:Float end Catmull Rom Spline WIKI Here it is in equation form: q(t) = 0.5 * (1.0f,t,t*t,t*t*t)...
