Luminous (decompiled)

I have made it a goal to figure out what else can be done with this program and what variables are needed with each command and function.
A cursory look at the program in notepad reveals quite a few objects and phrases not in the samples provided by the designer.
As far as I can tell there are no other tutorials on this program.
Any input would be appreciated.

Lumastorm

In memory of my poor lumastorm I have these pictures from some years ago when it actually worked.
Please enjoy and use as you want to.

Explosion Animator

I still don't have an animated gif maker but I still think these are neat.



Heres the latest image after a few hours of tweaking.





And here's a closeup of that image. The yellow ring is clearly visible spreading out from left to right. The ring starts around the middle of the set and the whole thing fades after it reaches the edge.

Along with explosions and hazy spirals, Luminous can create geometric randomized images as shown here.

Orange Core

This is the same file with the arms brightened and thinned out.

It's more like a star forming in a cloud than a galaxy.
