Sorry for the second post but I just remember a project I worked on when I was a kid.

I wrote a really funky little sound to light program in Assembler that showed pretty pictures (of my own made in Artist II! well shucks!) and flashed the screen various colours (PAPER) behind the picture and added some random strobes here and there... (I kind of stole some Paralax stars from someone else though..oops) It even came with an editor! It allowed you to set predefined colour patterns and bursts for a frequency range (ie. 0 to 255). Heh my one and only attempt at writing a VIS!!!

I had my crap tape deck plugged into the back of the speccy, and then from there in to my Bass amp... Mono....but LOUD mono!!!! With all the lights turned off and the television brightness turned way up, you got some pretty funky light shows...

Ask me 5 yrs ago, and I could've solved your problem, Ice, but unfortunately, my BASIC knowledge has become, well, basic.

It's really simple, about 4-7 lines of code. You'd need a rnd statement to select color, one particular function which evades me at the moment to change screen color, thana goto to make it loop.

[rm']

It'd look like this:

10 CC = INT(1 + RND * 16)
20 [color statement goes here] = CC
30 FOR TIMER1 = 1 TO 500
35 NEXT TIMER1
40 GOTO 10

CC is the variable for color (the function defaults to 1 = red, 2 = blue, etc.)
The FOR-Next with TIMER1 is to add a short little pause so you can actually see the color, and the GOTO is to loop it indefinetly. He he he... good virus look-alike op http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Change the autoexec.bat to load this vis, cuz you can't get out of it without rebooting http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/biggrin.gif You'd have to use a boot disk http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/biggrin.gif


I'd look up what the name of the function is (page something or another), but I burnt all my books on BASIC years ago.
