Spanner Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) I was thinking,if it is possible to add cassette reel animation so it looks like a cassette is playing, Like this... This is from this website http://www.8bitkick.cc/playuef.html if you want to see it in action,I think it looks good,this is for the Acorn Electron,so you can load games on a real Electron. Maybe add Pause and Rewind buttons too. What you think would it be too hard to do..? Thanks for a great app,I use this and AspeQt all the time.

greblus Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I did such thing in AspeQt for Android: https://github.com/greblus/aspeqt/blob/android/tape.gif QMovie usage is quite straightfoward: QMovie *movie = NULL; ... movie = new QMovie(":images/tape.gif"); ui->tape_label->setMovie(movie); ui->tape_label->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter); movie->start(); movie->setPaused(true); ... movie->setPaused(false); //starts the movie W. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baktra Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I did such thing in AspeQt for Android: https://github.com/greblus/aspeqt/blob/android/tape.gif QMovie usage is quite straightfoward: QMovie *movie = NULL; ... movie = new QMovie(":images/tape.gif"); ui->tape_label->setMovie(movie); ui->tape_label->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter); movie->start(); movie->setPaused(true); ... movie->setPaused(false); //starts the movie W. Do the reels spin in the right direction? Seems like playback of side B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greblus Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Hehe, good question . I've to admit: sometimes I do not care for details that much (I'm a mechanical engineer working in a field where small mistakes don't kill people usually) and the animation was made originally by Michael Bozgounov, I only borrowed it, but i'll reverse it, eventually Cheers, W.

+DrVenkman Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 greblus, have you considered submitting the code to the RespeQt GitHub repository and making a pull request so JoeyZ can see and evaluate it, then add it to the project?

greblus Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Sure. I could try to come up with a pull request, but a nicer animation would be a good thing to start with, and it's not that simple eg. CA12 with animated tape and counter (it was my initial idea, but couldn't find anything suitable other than animated tape).

_The Doctor__ Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 there are so many other things that need to be accomplished, I just don't know to say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascrnet Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I had thought something similar to improve the appearance when loading a cassette. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascrnet Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I did a test of how it will look with the user greblus image, of course using an old version of the sources.regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascrnet Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 finally a little time to finish the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 There have been a couple pull requests in Github in the last several months. Does anyone know if Joey is still actually maintaining the project and reviewing requests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascrnet Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I made two changes and they are already uploaded to the repository waiting for approval. I guess Joey has been a bit busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
