Small Demo Routines

These are small routines which help show the capabilities of Codea Lua through small examples. They can also demonstrate interesting and spectacular effects from little code. Study of these can help with learning how to structure code and understand the syntax used. Bear in mind many of these routines could be improved, compacted and refined but could be less readable for new users.

Nodes by Bri_G

A small routine to imitate the build up of local networks Code is available at GitHub.
This was improved in the following links:
Modified by pepinganos and modified again by pepinganos

Particles by Bri_G

Lots of colourful bouncing balls

Particles from emitter by Bri_G

Small particles fired from a tube then fall with gravity.

Various Star Fields by Bri_G

From a basic static backdrop to a 3D scrollable matrix of stars. These applications don't lend themselves to small pictures - after all they are mainly just dots. Loading up the code, running and adding further stars is worth trying if you're interested.

Rotating Sphere of spheres by Bri_G

A bigger demo than the others, a sphere built from a matrix of smaller spheres, I think quite a good one.

Modified rotating sphere by Inviso

Inviso added a 'Star Wars' effect to the small spheres, to enhance the impression of movement.

Koch Tree Fractal by Bri_G

An adaptation of the Processing example, with some modifications to run on the Pad. Good learner for translate().

As with all these contributions - if you need further description of the functions just post a request in the forum.

Class() or Subs

Routines provided for common repetitive functions not in Codea
