I'll take this question as the ultimate form of flattery, thanks @bplus. The flowers on the left are all computer generated, as are the ones on the right. All the same qb64 program just with different settings. The only thing not specifically toiled over was the text. That stuff is cheap enough nowadays. RE: Spring Banner Contest!

Luv to see the part that generates the flower on left. RE: Spring Banner Contest!

The height of my programming career! You continue to spoil me @bplus. However the vote turns out, I'm going home a winner from your comments. Most of the flowers in the image came from taking various shots of the same fractal snowflake. The snowflake-making code itself is embedded in a 7000-line graphics pipeline I've been more-or-less inventing as I go. For completeness, here's that chunk: Code: (Select All) Case "Snowflake 6" ... which explains nothing. There is a mountain of code that leads to the coloring, why it looks as sharp, or why the other flowers seem oil painted, so on and so on. Most of the work is finished but not explained yet, I'm slowly catching up with writing about all this. For a placeholder I'll paste the original pink background in full, you can hopefully see its snowflake-ness... ... and so it goes for every other element in the banner. I'm really underexplaining here, gotta save it for the writeup. Full code and stuff is all online: http://barnes.x10host.com/pages/Plane-Graphics/Plane-Graphics.php RE: Spring Banner Contest!

Well now I feel like a 2 time winner, making someone happy and seeing that this flower making image can be done in QB64, got me a little project to get mind off troubles. RE: Spring Banner Contest! (2023) - dbox - 03-14-2023 Have you ever thought, "Man, I wish I could make banners like bplus, but coding is hard!" Well now you can make spring banners too with the "B+ Banner Builder"! Try it online today: https://qbjs.org/?src=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boxgaming/qbjs/main/samples/project/bplus-banner-builder.zip RE: Spring Banner Contest!

LOL not exactly b+ approved but I like the hint of being legendary Here is b+ approved banner builder: Pick a nice background like Steve, KernelPanic, Walter Pick a nice Font Grab a copy of Pe Logo use this little bit of code PLUS Steve's SaveImage Bi and Bm Code: (Select All) '$INCLUDE:'SaveImage.BI' and prest-O change-0! A beautiful banner! RE: Spring Banner Contest! (2023) - mnrvovrfc - 03-14-2023 (03-14-2023, 04:03 PM)Sprezzo Wrote: ... and so it goes for every other element in the banner. I'm really underexplaining here, gotta save it for the writeup. Full code and stuff is all online: Might know a lot about fractals and other mathematical complexities for graphics. This could be a good topic on the general forum of this site or of the other site. In a few areas it looks Mandelbrot, but others (where there are stacks of pedals) it's a slight variation, is this right? (Erm, open a new topic for this if you guys want to.) LOL a banner insta-creator isn't going to have coding subtleties like this just talked about. I believe one of the requirements of a contest like this is to code 50% or more of the banner. But maybe bplus would win every time, so... RE: Spring Banner Contest! (2023) - Kernelpanic - 03-14-2023 @bplus - Hey, you can it! This is what(!) spring looks like. But get rid of the right logo.
