On a more general note, do people prefer a single, continuous revelead area that gets larger with each frame or several smaller, disconnected revealed areas with new ones added each frame?

Your call. I’m fine with either.

I’ve tended towards the former, but some games are better with the latter. I’m cool with leaving it to the discretion of the user/ needs of the game.

Good effort anymunym! Here, have some ice cream.

Here are the frames, and here’s the final one:

Pod, I knew you’d be one of the few to get it right off the bat.

Speedball 2 is one of those games I loved as a youth. I once made the Speedball 2 Arena as a map for the Half-Life engine, as someone I knew was trying to make a mod out of it.

I love the VGA/Amiga era! With that in mind:

I think this is something like Aliens 3. edit: actually, I now feel like it’s something that came out in the last 10 years…

Also: I sometimes randomly reveal different bits. But sometimes also grow. It depends on the game :P

I’ll try to get something up soon. Weekends are actually harder, as the puppy does not like me being on the PC when I could be playing with her instead :)

If you love that then definitely check out: http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/joe/Old_School_Color_Cycling_with_HTML5 and click on the ‘Launch With [or Without] Sound’ button. There’s loads of them so be sure to have a poke around.

That’s one of the most beautiful, fascinating and calming web pages I’ve visited though, and it’s thanks to that ingenious colour cycling technique from the 90s, the work of Joseph Huckaby, and of course LucasArts artist Mark J Ferrari. The Q&A with him is also fascinating.
