It'd be cool to see one with spinning gears for Gears, and one with
solar flares for Solar!
The gear one was easy to implement, it is just a case of deciding the
position and speed of turning. Because tiny angle changes are easily
visible on gears (the teeth are not aligned) there must be a massive
number of rotated images stored in memory (360 works well). The other
problem is that because there is a directional shade across the gear
image I used, it looks a bit naff when that shade then rotates and the
shades of the different gears are at different angles.
The solar one on the other hand is rather difficult to make. Animating
the flares is quite hard but I think I should have something to show
quite soon.
I added some shading to the invinXble theme [1]. And I had a bit of a go
at creating solar flares[2] on the solar theme[3]. This still needs
quite a bit of work and it doesn't look as nice as thee invinXble one.
