FlowerPower v2 Vector
Aug 15th, 2005, 4:25am
 
I've made some addons, and removed some features to my FlowerPower sketch, and came up with this:
http://seltar.wliia.org/sketch.php?pid=16

New features:
Random flower.
Preview mode in Vector.
Save Vector to Web.

And I'd really appreciate any commments you might have! Smiley

Note. I don't have unlimited server, so i will be deleting the saved vector files regularly.

the colors are absolutely lovely here.

I kinda want more control over the shapes, instead of pure random... but maybe I'm just a control freak :]

Your solution for saving files is very cool...

Hey Smiley

A more advanced version is in the making.. My first flowerpower (http://seltar.wliia.org/sketch.php?pid=14) has control over alot, but can't save or preview as vector, only as jpg.
The new version will have a couple of new features as well (if i can pull it off) Tongue

I'll post it here when it's done!

Glad that you liked it:)

There we go..
Now there's an option for randomizing, and you can use the menu by switching Randomize off.

Hey Seltar, ace work on the flower. Its creates some really intereseting shapes.

I'd like to see a 'seed' value, so that the same flower can be generated over and over again.

The interface is well laid as out as well, I'm sure you'll use a similar design for other projects. The overlapping colour slides for RGB works well.

You need to fix the zoom on the vector preview mode Wink
Could you get it to remember the preview vector settings?

Save JPEG worked ok for me, but save Vector made a popup which quickly dissapeared in IE.

I think you should set up the Preview/Create modes to look like tab buttons along the top.

I wasn't quite sure what it was at first an tried to draw several at the same time. Maybe this is something you could do in future - add several overlapping ones.

Just some ideas after playing with it Smiley

Great feedback! Worked on it for an hour or so now, and fixed some of the bugs.. even added loading, but for some reason it didn't work online, so i removed it.. but still.. now the preview button is "tabbed", and i've added a new scrollbar on the top in preview vector mode, which controls how much of the flower to draw.

so, hope you like this better Smiley i'll keep working on it.. getting rid of nasty bugs and such.. not so many of them anymore Smiley
