    Yep! Here it is if you wanna check out all of the code: https://github.com/coelacant1/ProtoTracer

    So this was all programmed in C++, currently I have it displayed a BMP image and am rotating, but color shifting and changing is actually very lightweight. Will be adding that in soon! If you wanna check out the code you can do that here, it isn't fully up to date though: https://github.com/OpenProtogen/ProtoTracer

    I am here to accept your judgement: https://github.com/OpenProtogen/ProtoTracer
  • Proto_boot.exe [OC]

    It's all from scratch and it's available here if you'd like to check it out!
  • Idle animation update! [OC]

    Also, this code is now open source! If you want to check it out I have it up on GitHub on the OpenProtogen page. If you wanna see more random nonsense I do or build progress I post more on Twitter
