This snippet will fill the screen with a swirl of colors It's pretty slow. I'm going to look into putting it in a shader so it can be dynamic

Here it is. Make sure you set the first line to your resolution

Thanks
I just edited the snippet to use pointers, it's faster now. It generates them in less than three seconds.(on my computer anyways)

Brings back memories of Commodore 64's when loading a disk.
If it was set to a low resolution (640x480) it would look pretty convincing!

@ da power and Calcyman
Haha, thanks for the comments.

I ported the swirl code to a shader. It's WAY faster now, and it's in 3D. You can also change the parameters to to the swirl in real time.
Many thanks to Green Gandalf and Chris K for helping me learn HLSL.

Here's the zip with all the files. Enjoy

@kaedroho- set the sync rate to 0, the fps bolts up. If that doesn't work, use fastsync in the loop instead of sync

I get 850 fps , nice effect
