Animated blobs effect
<![CDATA[
Title: Animated blobs effect
Question: This is a piece of code I found on the internet by an unknown author. I revamped the code (made it readable) and encapsuated it into a object.
The code is fairly fast and can be used for medium sized windows.
Answer:
Usage:
Create object. Your bitmap will be converted to 8bit (to increase speed).
ASize: Size of blobs. Select a large number (50000 for example).
Set up a TTimer. For each onTimer() call Animate.
Also, remember to refresh the bitmap.
Enjoy.
