Playing a game (pc-web), just to waste time (as always ) I saw this kind of animation (already known, of course):
I found (web) only this VB6 code:
My B4A version of this code does not satisfy me, both as a look and as a speed (but I'm not a graphic expert, so I could have mis-translated this code).
It would be nice to have a XUI class that allows you to rolling-unrolling any B4XView or at least a B4A panel.
Note that this is not a priority for me, it was and is only a curiosity (and a "good" reason to waste time )
If someone wanted to test himself...
I found (web) only this VB6 code:
B4X:
Public Sub SimpleUnroll(Source As PictureBox, Target As PictureBox, Optional TubeWidth = 50)
Dim XTube As Long, Offset As Long, XPicture As Long, RDS As Double
Target.Cls
RDS = 6.283185307 / (TubeWidth * 2)
For Offset = 0 To Source.ScaleWidth - 1
If Offset - TubeWidth >= 0 Then Target.PaintPicture Source.Picture, Offset - TubeWidth, 0, 1, Source.ScaleHeight, Offset - TubeWidth, 0, 1, Source.ScaleHeight
For XTube = 1 To TubeWidth
XPicture = ACos(XTube / (TubeWidth / 2)) / RDS
If Offset + XPicture < Source.ScaleWidth Then
Target.PaintPicture Source.Picture, Offset + XTube - TubeWidth, 0, 1, Source.ScaleHeight, Offset + XPicture, 0, 1, Source.ScaleHeight
Else
Target.PaintPicture Source.Picture, Offset + XTube - TubeWidth, 0, 1, Source.ScaleHeight, Offset + XTube - TubeWidth, 0, 1, Source.ScaleHeight
End If
Next XTube
Next Offset
End Sub
