Title: Little toy app: Lissajous figures
Post by: NoCforMe on October 01, 2022, 12:20:48 PM
This is one of the first Win32 assembly-language programs I wrote, soon after discovering this site, of course. Illustrates an interesting phenomenon. Lissajous figures are what you see on an oscilloscope display with certain ratios of vertical:horizontal frequencies. You can play with it to get different displays. It was a fun little project.

(The About display is the result of one of my many unfinished projects: I have a tool that builds help display screens for any program, which if I don't say so myself is pretty useful. Unfortunately, the text display quality is pretty crappy, even though I'm using CLEARTYPE_QUALITY fonts. I know how to fix this and have plans to do so, SomedayTM ...)

Hey, I just realized: I've got a scope! I mean a real one; a friend gave me one of his old ones, a nice Tektronix. I should rig up a couple of variable oscillators and play around with them ... nothing like analog.
