AAP Official Projects Squad ::: FreeBASIC GFX Demo Central

Right up front, I have to say that I am SO RATHER IMPRESSED with this strangely charming demo from Relsoft which shows you the lenses that *actually* morph into many different and fun shapes!!! Wow, talk about creative, and this is truly A MUST HAVE right there!!! (^-^)v !!

(Note: This demo is packaged originally in .RAR format only! Thus, you need to extract it using a .RAR extracting tool such as the freeware item called UnRAR, which you can download right here for MS-Windows. Thanks so much!!! ;-) )

For creating dialogue texts in RPGs and such, you just cannot go wrong with these finely awesome set of routines from none other than Alexander J. Pritchard himself, because it really allows you to create custom styles, set the alpha-blending effects for the textboxes and fonts, and a WHOLE LOT MORE!!! And the source-codes are included in FB to get you started right there!!! I TRULY RECOMMENDED IT!!! d=^-^=b

Here, we have a start of a brand-new FB platform game that is in development right now. Currently, the keyboard controls need a little work (since you do not always go to where you want it to go all the time as you are scrolling around the map!), but hey, good start, man! ;)

From Rel, the great king of FB graphics demo developing, comes this latest OpenGL-based demo that promises an amazing-looking object that morphs into many different shapes!! Sounds like a REAL good one to check out, I will bet!!! ^_-=b

Coded in FreeBASIC in only 6 hours, this BBStro (or messageboard intro) is TRULY one of the *very* best around at that level, I must simply confess to you!!! d=^-^=b With an amazing mix of a well-animated blob with a moving polygon-based object in space, this one will leave you speechless, guaranteed!!! Really good music, too!!

In this demo, it shows you a planetary simulation of our solar system.... OpenGL style! This is where you use the mouse to look around for other planets. Pretty nice right here, and good graphics, too!! ;)

The awesome powerhouse known as syn9 has brought out an AMAZINGLY EXCELLENT demo which truly allows you to test out a phenomenal-looking track that is presented to you as part of his new game that he is working on here!!! ^-^ ! Gotta love it, because it is *easily* one of the best that has ever been created in FB so far!!! (^_-)v

Right up front here, this is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST font libraries ever created in FreeBASIC, and we would love to see more of them around!!! d=^-^=b !! This one supports any custom size and length through *any* fontset in a BMP file, plus lets you load and use them, as well as alpha-blended translucency, custom justification, and a slew of AWESOME printing routines!!! Man, you do not want to miss this one, I gotta tell you right now!! :D !

In axipher’s next demo here, we see the simple yet effective wireframe design of a spaceship. Looking good!! ;) ! This file originally comes in .RAR format, but there is an alternate .ZIP file of this very same program that you can download right here if you prefer.

Inspired by such arcade shmups as Gigawing, Mars Matrix, and Progear, Relsoft does his own take on bringing the manic shmup home to FreeBASIC in the first of his *many* Bullet-Hell examples. Pretty good start so far, I think!! ^_- !

And now, Rel’s second (2^nd) example here which shows you an even greater number of bullets than was presented in his last demo just before this one. And this is only the beginning of something REAL BIG coming up!!! ^^=b

Ohhh, taking the Kenta Cho route, I see!! ;) !! That is the story of what Rel’s next FB-created Bullet-Hell example is all about, and this time, it is presented to you in OpenGL. Pretty cool stuff!!! :D !

This demo is a rather hot one in FreeBASIC, because it lets you man the controls of an F14 fighter jet from the cockpit view!! IMPRESSIVE stuff, I gotta say!!! ^_-=b !! In order for this program to work properly, you *must* run the “run1st.exe” file in order to build a world that needs to be created for the main program here to run indeed, so remember that now! Also, there is a special add-on pack for this program, which is available right here for download. Once downloaded, extract it to the very same directory as the main demo one that you already extracted the files in. Got all of that? GOOD!! (^-^)v !

From one of the grand veterans of QuickBASIC programming comes the start of a TRULY HOT voxel viewer program in FreeBASIC, and so you do not want to miss this!!! d=^_-=b ! So far it lets you sample, view, rotate, and even scale several voxel models in such an amazing way in here, but in future versions, watch out because it WILL get a lot better, believe me!!! One to truly watch for, everyone!! ^-^ !!

For you ASCII fanatics like I am and you use FreeBASIC, hey, you are gonna love this *truly great* library courtesy of Rattrapmax6!!! ;D I mean, all in pure-ASCII form, you got lines, pixels, plus shows you such amazing ways of loading and executing a bitmap to be placed on the screen, and a LOT more!!! Perfect for your next game or demo in this format indeed if you are into this kind of thing, you know? (^-^)v !

Hey, we are NOT even through yet! More of the hottest FB graphics demos are coming your way on Page 10!!! (^-^)v !
