SnowStorm

SnowStorm is a snowdome like pocket pc freeware. If you like to count the number of snowflakes: there are 200 of them and each of them is updated every 40 ms !

Using the OpenGLES SDK to create a “pseudo” 3D layout.
- Snowflakes will be larger in the front then in the back.
- If the PDA is laying horizontal, snowflakes will “disappear” to the back-end or stay on the front after a while
- Pseudo horizon, fixed at about 50% of the screen.
- Simple graphics, trees are placed randomly, snowman is fixed
- Simple turbulence (any pointers to good algorithms are appreciated)
- Snowflakes disappear behind trees/snowman, depending on their position in space. They will travel through them however
- Simple collision detection, only sides of the “frustum” are checked, as well as the artificial floor.
Click on the top part to be asked to quit the program. Click on the lower (25%) of the screen to restart it.

Lol, I found this on xda's HO HO HO..

LOL...As long as it's been properly pruned. We really need to get this back on topic now.
