SO! I thought I'd make a little video showcasing the idea and maybe some others will think it's neat, too.



I've always had a certain affection for putting replays on 8x speed and just watching the minimap and the little squares doing battle. To me, it has a very cellular feel to it, and I get a lot of enjoyment out of watching two colonies do battle; I especially enjoy games with Zerg.SO! I thought I'd make a little video showcasing the idea and maybe some others will think it's neat, too. Lanaia is love.

I actually really like the concept. If someone where so inclined and talented, as to compose some music for certain replays, then this could be a smashing hit.

I enjoyed this in BW as well. If you held down the TAB-key, you could force the minimap to refresh several times per second, which made the movements really smooth and fluid.



Nice movie! I enjoyed this in BW as well. If you held down the TAB-key, you could force the minimap to refresh several times per second, which made the movements really smooth and fluid.Nice movie! For Aiur! - If you reach for the stars and miss, you still might end up walking among the clouds.

Reminds me of when I was watching one of the Flash vs Jaedong finals, was a long epic game, and just looking at the minimap was amazing, so many movements back and forth across the whole map. Was amazing to think it was just two people controlling it all.

I've done that more than once x.x



If you like that "rapid movement" type of thing with a bunch of units, you should check out "Conway's Game of Life", a cellular automata based off of a few simple life-or-death rules. You can run simulations and get a really similar, more interesting effect (both scientifically and just "Cooooooool...")

Maybe I'll try some carriers if people subscribe and tell me nice things :3



Of course, you don't need to make a video to watch the minimap. Simple complexity is beautiful. Maybe I'll try some carriers if people subscribe and tell me nice things :3Of course, you don't need to make a video to watch the minimap. Simple complexity is beautiful. Lanaia is love.

Raislin Profile Blog Joined April 2010 United States 144 Posts #19 It was definitely pretty awesome. I found myself doing this a lot when spectating games where too many units were involved for me to watch directly (such as a battle taking place at the center of Xel'naga Caverns, which practically locks my computer).



Do more!
