l337 effect

[Unfocused]

I see that on the off-topic forums people show off their milkshakes (for example ), so I'll show off my program

I made a small program in C++ (60 lines of code), but even though it's easy to write something like this, the program does a cool effect (depending on the settings). Check it out.

Oh yeah - both files need to be in the same directory.

EDIT: It's a graphic effect not a "format c:\" one

/me thinks it's a virus

Chill out, I wouldn't upload a virus, as I don't want to get banned from the forums, right?

If I did this right, it worked in Darwine so it should work in windows.

Sorry, I just don't trust people who say "nice windows" that want me to download .exe's on my computer without telling me what they do.

Eee...why should I rename it? I don't get you post.

Well the program draws kind of a spiral, but you can manipulate with the settings. The program draws a line connected with the previous one under a given angle in each iteration. Each line is longer than the other (you can adjust this, the colors, delay between lines, angle etc.). I cannot post a screenshot as printscreen doesn't work in DOS windows (full screen).

It crashed my desktop too. But a simple ctrl+alt+del fixed it thankfully. Pretty nice effect though. Couldn't get moppe's to work though ;(

Edit: Wouldn't call it l337 though

 

[kingthebadger]

you call that l33t?

 

[Unfocused]

Hmmm.... it should exit after the program stops drawing and you press ENTER. I guess thats the problem with WinXP and DOS incompatibility. I suggest you use default settings at first (you could have set too many iterations and the program goes on for very long).

i typed Y then enter, then when it was finished, escape.
