Raining image.

[monoceres]

You know all those time when you're wandering down the street and think "I wonder how an image would look like if it rained down?".

Now you don't have to wonder anymore!

Here's a script that makes the pixels of an image rain down in a GUI!

raining_image.au3

Here's a great pic to test it on!

What do you guys think? muttley

Pretty interesting but for me it left a black rectangle in the middle of the image.

That is a cool effect! Looks like someone got a new iphone, LOL That is the main wallpaper..

Rock'n muttley Thank You for the entertainment. I always enjoy a GDI+ show .. w00t.

Needs some cpu taming, my poor o'l single core laptop got thrashed while running the script.

Cheers

You should look into _GDIPlus_BitmapLockBits to speed up the pixel reading, GetPixel is very slow:

Very very nice work. Thanks monoceres!

This is pretty sweet, however I got the same rectangle left in the middle like weaponx did.

Thanks for the comments everybody. muttley

The problem your having with a black rectangle in the middle is because in win xp when another window (the splash window in this case) hovers my window it gets redrawn. This doesn't happen in vista that's why I didn't catch it. Just comment the first SplashTextOn() and you should be fine.

I should redraw by registering WM_PAINT, but I'm a bit too lazy, and it's just an example

@weaponx

I know about BitmapLockBits, but I don't have to willpower to take the battle with that function yet.

Nope, I don't even think that the first iphone can be bought here... we Swedes don't like GSM

I'm seriously considering to buy the 3G version that is released soon, but on the other hand I hate apple, but on the other hand I love new stuff, but.. nah just forget it muttley

Looks pretty cool. As though I also have a white rectangle in the middle. And it takes pretty much time to load. Nice effect anyway.
