Mx. Savanni D'GerinelGotta share this.
A bit over a week ago, I spent a day creating a new animated splash screen for my live stream.
This morning, I added a dirt simple glow effect. So, now I'm super, super excited to share it!
The glow effect requires drawing two lines of different widths in the same place. I brainstormed this for a long while until I figured out how I would do that elegantly. In order for the effect to be visible, I also made the "glow" translucent.
An upcoming update will involve me applying a gaussian blur to the glow layer before I merge the layers.
Mostly the challenge was about archictecting things.
If you want to run this, and you have Nix on your machine, it's a one-liner:
nix run git+https://git.luminescent-dreams.com/savanni/tools/#cyberpunk-splash -- --title "Playing the game" --countdown 10:00
This is (at least at the moment) a slightly older version which lacks the glow effect and the #CodingTogether hashtag.
hrm... I'm not sure how to turn that URL into a copy-and-paste type of deal. Apparently mastadon doesn't have Markdown support. :(
