I have got the basic hang of sprites, movement, basic game logic... but I am wondering, how would I go about creating 'psychedelic' graphic effects? Things like colour cycling, flashing, glows, delay/trail effects... I mean the sort of graphics in games like Death Ray Manta: Please login to see this link. Do you have to draw all of these by hand or program hundreds of sprites, or is there a shortcut to automating this stuff?
Psychedelic graphic effects in Fusion?
Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.
A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.
Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

You will have to do some drawing. But you can use code to manipulate the colors easily, well, if you know how. I think this guy is somewhat of an expert on the matter:
Please login to see this link.He also shares one way he's doing one of the effects atleast what I read, maybe there's more!

What Platform are you developing for?
If Windows, Shaders on the whole stage frame are likely to be the best way to achieve the sort of ghosting/trail effects. Conversely, shaders on individual objects can be good for making bullets 'pulse' or cycle colours.

Actually, ther is a coupple ( maybe more..? ) 'bugs' i know of that create smashing visual effects.
I wouldnt ( and for some you cant ) rely on using them consistently ( as they might get fixed, or only work in specific runtimes ) durring runtime.
The ones im talking about are best used to 'create' phycadelic 'graphics'.Allthough playing around with particles in combination with math and ink effects/ alpha chanells sounds like loads and loads of fun :O
I dont have a free hand at the moment, but i feel im getting drawn to this fun idea and might get down to it anyways
