I also modified my font scaler to do some basic anti-aliasing on the fonts for 150% scales like 480x800ish i.e. Droid2. It only AAs on the horizontal axis so far but it really improves the look of things... check it out:

So of course, we'll need a screenshot:

Wifight client running in the AirplaySDK ARM simulator. At this time it can log in and update games. You can see the wifight logo paints, and the connection status indicator shows all's well.

Here's the official list of what's new in this build:

What's new in wifight client v1.20

End of game HUD elements ("Player 1 Wins" etc) now auto-hide after displaying for 5 seconds
Time-left display now only shows "N days" for N>1, otherwise detailed H:M:S
win32: added wifight icon to installer
win32: installer remembers last-selected checkbox options and reuses them for reinstalls or upgrades

There are a couple more shots in this forum thread.

These images were auto-generated by the same server-side screenshot app I had previously made that writes out PNG files from turns, except now it supports writing animated GIFs.

I used the animated GIF API from Cockos WDL, the same API used by Cockos' new screen-capture tool, Licecap.

WDL's GIF writing support is nice and easy to use. I added an extra layer of optimization on top that detects unchanged areas between frames and encodes only the smallest single changed rectangle (shown here in gray):

And here is the size-optimized final shot (for reference):

This optimization seems to typically save as much as 50% of the filesize when I've tested it, so not bad I say. Also, kind of fun to code.

• random images now the default image source
• drag-and-drop images bypass image min/max size checks (still can't be bigger than canvas tho)
• a button to add files directly to the image cache (like drag-and-drop)
• options to randomly flip final rendered frame h/v (before accum buf)
• rid of fullscreen frame option
• rotation option now sticks to 90degree increments
• faster image edge smoothing. 10ms or so per iteration.
• up windowed display border to 2 pixels
• image placement algorithm (more CPU needed now but it's worth it)
• about converting from sRGB (jpg/png/lcd monitor native format) to linear colorspace
• to linear colorspace for placement (from default sRGB)
• colorspace for frame crossfade, way more solid/smooth now (used to slightly dim)
• contrast for linear color space
• saturation for linear color space
• more :)

  Debris is an automatic generative art project. Check it out at its homepage, badmofo.org/debris/.

Default face, nothing selected.

How bout we try on those shades?

Or a smoove-stylin' goatee?

Promising, I think. But it raises more questions than it answers. Time to re-read Making Comics by Scott McCloud, especially the facial expressions chapter.

Freshly revamped with version 1.16!
