AVSnake 3.0:
Features:
  • New drawing engine.
  • Multiple level support (2 levels included).
  • New mouse control, but I don't like it and I'll probably remove all mouse control from the final version.
  • UnConeD, I understand you have a different keyboard. Could you give a key combination that would be handy for you to control the snake?

To do:
  • More levels.
  • A new mouse control mechanism.
  • Scrolling for levels that are larger than the AVS screen.


Interface 1.3:
Features:
  • Dragable, resizable windows.
  • The windows overlap eachother.
  • Top toolbar that can reset the window positions and sizes and from which you can disable and enable colors (disabled by default).
  • Three different visualizations in three different windows, but it can still reach reasonable speeds (32 fps) at 640x480.

To do:
  • Opening and closing the windows using the toolbar.
  • Include toolbar in the top of the windows. This will allow you to reset positions and disable/enable color on single windows.
  • 3d windows that you can minimize by rotating them?

BMP files & ACDSee TTF Image must be included behind AVS presets or out of that file?
I mean BMP & TTF must be in directory or subdirectory of this folder?
UnConeD#
mine goes:

A Z E R T Y U I O P
Q S D F G H J K L M
W X C V B N

A simple Qwerty/Azerty toggle would be nice. Also remember that german keybs have Qwertz (z and y switched).

The BMP files go in your Winamp/Plugins/AVS directory. The font is not really required, but it makes the AVSnake preset look better. The TTF file goes in your Windows/Fonts directory.

Btw there's a bug: if you're resize or move a window too fast, the resizing/moving stops. You should use a mouse-capture variable to prevent this (i.e. once you start dragging a window, always stay dragging until you release the button, or until the mouse goes outside the avs window).

I get some whacked fps, around 100 with this preset, some even 200 on 500*500, without wait for retrace or pixeldoubling, and about half the fps on 640*480 with fullscreen.

Sorry, the above post was not written by me... Somebody created the vanderphunck account in my name and posted in my name. (Thanks to Rocker for helping me...)
