Color Cycling is a technique used in computer graphics in which colors are changed in order to give the impression of animation. This technique was mainly used in early computer games .
Actually it's a terrific Idea and you wouldn't believe how cool it's till you actually see one !
[Hint : Click on Show Option >> to actually see what is happening in the color palette].
The animation itself is simply nothing other than group of colors cycling their own colors between them !! .. so as you can see the animation looks very awesome ! and it doesn't need lots of memory to play it "The other solution was to save every frame as an independent image and keep cycling between those images which would kill small memory chips used at those days :S :S ".
Nice Technique :)
ReplyDeleteBut this technique can't be applied now,it was good for the early computer games.When you see this animation you know it's fake,but now with the new techniques , all the graphics things seem very real.
This technique is good for saving memory and is a good idea really as you mentioned,but for what users wanna see and what they are expecting,they won't think it's good enough.
yes amira you are right .. but still IMO those "Classic" things don't get too old :) .. It's always fun and enjoyable :) ..
