Hi everyone,

I'm glad to announce that we'll soon release a series of articles about how to create some cool oldschool effects, such as;

Sinewave text scrollers
Waterdrops effect
Sinewave modified images with color animation
Starfields (Flying through and scrolling)
Tunnel movement
Vector balls
Raster bars
Flowing plasma

And most importantly of all, these effect's created without the use of SDL or any other library. This is pure memory bitmap operations, software rendering done in C.

Some effects are in the process of creation while other's been finished, stay tuned and check back often for updates!
Some sneak peaks of what's to come follows.

Really like the effects, but the logo one is still a favorite. Good job!
