I would like to draw the trail of a geo in motion, how can I do this? I am thinking of delay the gemlist to the specified amount but having no luck in doing so.
I have wondered a bit about individual geos leaving trails, and delay line type things, but I haven't reached much conclussion (or done much experimentation). You could use a table to store the previous frames data, and have diminishing alpha for older elements, but again it would be far from perfect. Could be workable, though. I might see what I can hack together this afternoon, otherwise it won't be for a few days. As far as a generalised 'delay line' goes, I think this could turn out to be a good approach.
Here's a start.
