In WinAmp they have that cool visualization thing where dots are smoothed, warped, and blurred, Miscroft have the same kind of thing in MediaPlayer7, and ive seen some DX games with the same effect, and I would like to have the same stuff in my game.. Im not a coding genius and suck at asm so is the code freely available from somewhere? Why re-invent the wheel and waste time. (Preferably code already compatible with DirectDraw7)

a little while ago there was an applet coding contest at cfx

source code is included, i know you said DX and i assume C/C++ but the sources are pretty short and understandable, basically they just load an image into a pixelarray and start manipulating it, it''s probably just the math-stuff that you''re after
