Looking for a type-in programme that generates animated reflective ripples

Post by wmd »

As per title. I *think* this was a type-in programme from Archimedes World. It was before they did cover discs so it was just a listing, possibly late 80s, very early 90s. Does anyone know what issue it might have been? I think a screenshot of the ripple animation may have even been on the cover.

Is it the same one as the one being asked about in this thread?

It's not that one, sadly. The one I refer to was not real-time, the programme took hours to generate each frame, each of which was saved to disc and animated when the programme finished. The ripple itself was reflective, it looked amazing for the time, would love to see it again.

Looked a bit like this:

But the one in the magazine had an isometric orientation.

Yes! Thanks for uploading. Seems I was wrong about the isometric viewpoint. Frame rendering is a lot faster on an ARM3 compared to my old A310 ARM2.
