    Snow and Rain Effects

    Does anyone know any good snow/rain effect tutorials?
    Articles reffering DelphiX would be prefferable

    I may have my old Snow Demo laying around somewhere. It was simple and used DelphiX actually. I think I added wind to it, but really it's nothing at all to add. Just add some x-axis movement to it. Really falling snow is just random left or right as it drops slowly along the y-axis each 1 pixel.

    Rain on the other had I imagine would require a faster falling rate and no drift (x-axis) rate other than that or the wind. You may have to represent each rain 'drop' as a line and of course having some transparency would help the effect along too.

    Lemme see if I can find that demo. (There is one already up somewhere on PGD for FPC and NDS in a Christmas Demo though! )

    I suggest using a particle effect will do the job.

    Both these downloads contain the file snowdemo.nds, not the unDelphiX file(s). Thanks!

    Wizard's right, the zips only contain the .nds files.
    I ran the file through an emulator, though, the effect looks very good!!

    You're right, sorry don't know what happened there. Been a while since I looked at those files.

    Anyhow, I've updated the link: Snow Demo (Delphi/UnDelphiX)
