Poor Image: Vent Physics

Go To

Very unclear image; all I see here is some kind of a windmill blade with weird orange-green leaves (?) on the left. I don't see any vents or fans which the trope description mentions.

Actually Sonic glowing yellow, leaving behind green after images, but I will admit the image is not especially good. Just going off the image and the trope name, I don't get what this trope is about, which is kind of a cardinal sin of trope page images, as I recall.

How about this image from Glider?

Not much better than Sonic, at all.

[up][up] At least you can see something that looks like vents...I'm in favor of it over the current but I'd still like to see some more options.

Swap. No evidence of a vent at all in the current.

Well, since this trope seems to be largely about wind physics in video games, there's this.

Is there a better image from Glider?

The new Bespin level for Angry Birds Star Wars is built around this trope. The screens show how a vent will affect a bird's flight path before it's launched. I'll see if I can get a screencap off my phone.

Tried to get a better screencap of Glider. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to work on my computer. It claims some sort of compatibility issue. I'm running Windows 7, but I distinctly remember it working on my previous computer, which ran Vista, so it really should work. Maybe it's because I'm using x64 and not x86?

The Glider image passes Shadow Hog's test for me. It's a significant improvement over the current.

Here's the AB SW pics. If these aren't clear, I can try for other levels, it's a common feature.

The first one seems better, since you can at least see that the round, brown thing is being propelled by the vent on the right.

Kind of meh, but 14.1 is the better of them.

It's an easy scenario to engineer in Scribblenauts Unlimited.

If anyone wants to give me an idea of something heavy looking, screenshots would be easy. I did a couple here: [1] [2] [3] [4]

So, perhaps something like this:

"Nullius addictus iurare in verba magistri, quo me cumque rapit tempestas, deferor hospes."

A couple more votes for the Scribblenauts pic and we can fly with it.

It's definitely the clearest one yet, and doesn't have any glaring compression artifacts like the Glider one does.

Another vote for 18. And was the pun intentional Wilbyr?
