The First properly fun things i’ve made that’s more visual than soul destroying code.
It’s not the neatest code i’ve written, I think i’ve overused global in places it’s not needed, but in moving from java to python i’ve missed some key translations.
This little program simulates the DVD screen-saver in old dvd systems.
You have the ability to draw the background each iteration and have just the dvd symbol once bouncing around.
or
You can leave the background in the setup definition, this leave a stunning little tail of the symbol as it bounces.
I made a few little changes to the color of the symbol so that through the movement the shade changes slightly.
I really like it.
