Vortex Generator - visual effect - for GBA and DS

[wraggster]

DCEmu Member dantheman released this over at gbadev, heres the full release notes from the man himself:

In my CS class at my university last semester, we learned C by programming for the GBA. For one of my projects, I took the sourcecode from a GBA WinS demo and greatly expanded upon it, firstly to make it much faster, and secondly to add user input so that different visual effects could be generated. I turned it in long ago, but continued to work on it for further improvements. I eventually installed DevKitPRO and ported it to the DS for speed purposes, then made a version that could rotate around the center of the screen with the DS's additional horsepower. Finally, I made a small branch-off program that creates a starfield on the DS screen, with variable speeds.






Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. I know it's not a cool game or anything, but it did take a lot of work to make and I think it's a fairly interesting visual effect at the very least. Would people be interested in the sourcecode at all? I'm more than willing to release it, though it would take me a bit to clean it up for ease of understanding.
