A water simulator with waves.

DosBox turbo advice :

Cycles depends on the speed you want to move the waves.

- Water effect -
 by Tomasz Dobrowolski

This effect is based on the well-known algorithm of water, but it looks a little better;)
This is because the water is displayed in a different way than I have seen it in other
implementations ...
The surface water is generated voxelowo and is transparent,
you can see through her bottom (which is distortion) and added simple
lighting of the side of the stage ...

At the bottom you can see a small white pointer - the place from which begin Aug. do waves,
You can move the mouse and the buttons do waves (left-lines still, right-droplets).
Also implemented a few interesting effects (keys 1-5):
1-Rain
2-waterfall (say)
3-sine wave
4.5-large droplets (something like boiling water)

Enter'em button to switch between the two modes: bottom + lighting and clean-voxelowy.

At startup (water.exe) can be given parameters:
other texture of the bottom (it must be pcx sized 128x128 and the palette of smooth transitions !!!)
-p uses a pallet of pcxa
filter - water parameters

Have fun.

water.exe - glowny file
env.pcx - standard bottom
runme.bat - runs water.exe without any parameters
blood.bat - red water (you can say the blood)
blood.pcx - texture to "blood"
stawik.bat - water with a higher parameter of wave propagation
stawik.flt - filter
 (You can change the parameters of the water, but I did it quite stupid ... and not even describe how; (
  like someone wants to let himself wykapuje - and so you can not get other effects ...)
