Hi Gustavo,
There are a number of different ways to simulate 2D and 3d liquids,
all of which are fairly complex. Here is one approach that is
explained fairly well: http://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/fluid-simulation-for-dummies.html
. There are also a number of ways to fake it, some of which might be
far easier and more suitable for your purposes. For instance, you
could use a static image and generate waves with the Circle Splash
Distortion filter patch when the user places a ship. You can see what
this would look like by bringing up the Dashboard and adding a widget.
If you want the water to move constantly -- and feel up to the
challenge -- look for "2D fluid simulation" methods.
best,
dan

Hello, I was reading about Fractal algorithms, bad wow, I understand
0.0001% of them. I kinda loosing hopes to achieve this goal on
making the ocean move.
I look at the compositions in quartscompositons.com quite
interesting but not what I need.
anyway.
Thanks for your help.

Hello all
well Im new to all this mac cocoa programing. Right now im doing a
Naval Battle game, which its going pretty good for my concern.
Now Im waiting for the final versions of the ships images, which
are delayed, so in the mean while I was thinking in making the sea
background be able to move, somehow to see the waves moving, I have
right now something like this, which is the background of the
custom view.
<Picture 1.jpg>
I was reading, and looking some tutorials, and in one apple
programing guide, I saw how the put as a background a Quartz
composition and set up a menu and so on. So I went and try to look
at Quartz Composer, and saw some of the examples, and I think the
idea I have can be achieved by Quartz Composer, the problem its
that Im totally new with QC and don't know where to start so at the
end I can give some movement to my sea in the game.
Can somebody help me giving me some guidance or a starting point? I
have read already the Quartz composing users guide. Im gonna play
with it a little while, but maybe any tip on how to start I will
really appreciate it.
Thanks
