Question: Since the source code of Winamp was posted to GitHub, I took a cursory dive into the part I've always been curious about (how the main vis is drawn) and was surprised to find a variable that holds the image data generated, and I wonder, was this easier to do than using what GDI provided? Optimization? For shits'n'giggles? If you remember, I would love to know what the intent was

github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/bl...Both "gmem" and "specData" are curious to me as to why they exist

ah heh, that 8bpp rendering of the image does look like my code, but it's surrounded by stuff that's likely not (WADrawDC eg doesn't look familiar). But yeah in general for a lot of synthesized images you'd render to a DIB then BitBlt that. For skinned themes, you'd BitBlt() the images, but you wouldn't want to draw a spectrum analyzer with GDI primitives.

also worth noting, the comment at the top of the file (including C O N F I D E N T I A L etc) is all new to me lol

Oh! Huh, yeah that makes sense then, was wondering what those variables were about (which I can imagine is probably difficult to bring into a new environment), thanks for clarifying!

nm i saw the question was asked? Can you convince them to release gnutella under the gpl as planned?

do they even have the gnutella code? anyway it's pointless other than for novelty...
