Got myself a CMM2 for the holidays and finally got around to writing something to show for it. Thank you rictech! I'm probably showing my age a bit here to have nostalgia from it but as my first basic program, I wanted to create some artwork using the built-in circles function. Something that would remind me of my first computer. Something... blissful. Should theoretically run on any video-capable hardware that can output 320x240 (Mode 7) and 16-bit color. Consisting of a lot of circles, it's a bit lengthy to post here so I put it in a zip file if you wanted to check it out. 🥳 Background.zip |

That is excellent! I ran the program on my CMM2, and as it loaded I thought I was going to mention For-Next Loops and the "Random" function to you, expecting your program to just produce a bunch of random circles. Then when it ran - wow! Awesome job. And welcome to the Maximite family! I can already see you're going to be a great addition to the family. Very well done. |

Very pretty. Since we are playing the "me too" game, works in MMB4L v0.7-alpha.1 too if you enable "OPTION SIMULATE CMM2" and change the colour depth on the MODE command to 32 ... and in alpha.2 that latter change won't be necessary either.

Hi David, Very nice, I have shortened your program a little without changing its function. bg.zip cheers Martin Edited 2025-02-10 02:23 by Martin H. 'no comment |

Awesome hearing it run on different devices! I picked 320x240 as I figured that would give a wide variety for what stuff it could run on. That and because i've heard that the CMM2 is still pretty hard to get ahold of. I had planned on making small looping ambience animations in the future. In theory with some resource creativity, the hardware should be able to do that. 🥳 |
