Themes / Hyperspin themes in Attract-mode
« on: February 16, 2016, 10:18:46 PM »
Hi guys,

I thought I'd share what I've been plugging away at a bit lately... here is an video example of what the newest development version of Attract-Mode will do if you start feeding it hyperspin themes:

This is from a (pretty crappy) notebook running my development environment on debian linux.  The hyperspin interpretation is missing a bunch of stuff, but it is all happening from a squirrel script just like any other attract-mode layout!

Themes / "Warp" layout
« on: December 30, 2014, 10:52:10 PM »


This layout creates a starfield simulation.  You can configure an analog joystick to be used to steer through the field.  It has a bit of a warp animation when a game is selected and can be configured to display a star wars-intro style message under the artwork.

This was designed to be used with an analog controller and the wireframe artworks that have been posted by Le Chuck at the build your own arcade controls forum: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,137291.msg1420703.html#msg1420703
