[bridge] July Day Four is Bloom [verse] Bloom isn't interactive. I couldn't think of a good way to make the flowers interactive. [bridge] They're being drawn using the back buffer. [chorus] A single petal is drawn to the back buffer, then rotated and drawn to the front buffer. [chorus] Buffer, buffer, buffer (Buffer) Buffer to the back (Buffer) Buffer, buffer, buffer (Buffer) Buffer to the front (Buffer) [verse] It's a bit of a weird way to draw flowers, but I can't get rotatable shapes to work, so the petals can't be drawn in a simpler way. [bridge] It's also made me add "Rotatable Shapes" into the rapidly growing todo list. [chorus] Buffer, buffer, buffer (Buffer) Buffer to the back (Buffer) Buffer, buffer, buffer (Buffer) Buffer to the front (Buffer) [outro] Looks pretty enough, but isn't a playable toy. Sorry. (Sorry) Perhaps tomorrow will be a better day?
