Sorry, none at the moment. I need to revive this project for the 1329th* time. :oops:

Re: [Staff][Dev] GL 2D Game Engine

I gave it a try and it works really nicely. Also i had a quick squiz at some of your routines and i am particularly impressed with the math ones :). Thanks :) I have a fetish for maths routines :P hmm, I tried the orbit thing, but it just quits on me before doing anything... It's available in this ...

Did you send zlibgl83.8xk to your calc as well as orbit.8xp? If you didn't it will quit immediately with no error message. That's the only reason I can think for that happening.

Re: [Staff][Dev] GL 2D Game Engine

Just a little extra... I used the lib to create a very crude orbit game. Try it out if you like The left and right arrows control rotation (one press = one pulse of the thrusters) and holding down 2nd fires your main engine. Plus/minus zoom in and out and mode quits. There is no collision detection ...

Re: [Staff][Dev] GL 2D Game Engine

Actually, what I'd like is a custom B_CALL type system. Something like: call shellcall .dw ifastcopy ; shell routine address The tricky part is you need to preserve all registers (including F) because you don't know the inputs/outputs of the shell routine. I wrote a couple of versions of a routine t...

Re: [Staff][Dev] GL 2D Game Engine

That is good. So I could program it just like a standard asm program? Yep. You use it in the same way you would use the built in routines in a shell such as MirageOS - it just provides a bunch of routines which your program can call. The are some #defines as well, such as .glLoadIdentity , but thes...

Re: [Staff][Dev] GL 2D Game Engine

I think that this project is amazing!!! Do you have a current release? Thanks :) There is no current release - I am still in the process of moving it over into an APP. Some things - like the texture mapping - use a lot of self-modifying code and will be painfully slow without it, so I'm still consi...

Re: [Staff][Dev] GL 2D Game Engine

Very impressive, as ever. I'm not sure if there are all that many games with impressive physics (Acelgoyobis springs to mind) so it's an interesting direction to go in. Despite the size of these "bloody big" numbers, it seems you're still getting decent speed! The main thrust over the pas...

Re: [Staff][Dev] GL 2D Game Engine

This looks great, I can't wait to see a demo of the actual game but it might be a little early for that. :) Just a little :) Actually, I've spent the last couple of weeks working on some actual game code. It's been quite fun because I had this stupid idea of keeping everything to scale - so the moo...

Re: [TI ASM] IM 2 randomness.

I managed to find my old TI-83+. I tried the program out and got similar results to Ben: # RES # SET Bit 0: 239 785 Bit 1: 0 1024 Bit 2: 342 682 Bit 3: 9 1015 Bit 4: 0 1024 Bit 5: 1 1023 Bit 6: 1 1023 Bit 7: 1 1023 # RES # SET Bit 0: 129 895 Bit 1: 0 1024 Bit 2: 127 897 Bit 3: 133 891 Bit 4: 130 894...

It's just over 1kb of dynamic memory at the moment, plus appBackUpScreen for static variables/interrupt handler. If I keep the texture mapping the way it is, it will also need 512 bytes per texture for lookup tables.

Re: [Staff][Dev] GL 2D Game Engine

I've begun the tedious process of porting the code to an app library. I've got the dynamic memory handling sorted, so that's the big hurdle out of the way. Code has been added to copy the contents of the LCD at startup, so you can draw over what's already there: http://darrencubitt.googlepages.com/s...

Re: [TI ASM] IM 2 randomness.

Those 1:1023 results are certainly... interesting. I ran the test three more times, and the bit 1, 5 and 6 results were the same as the above. That is quite weird - especially bits 5 and 6. I wonder if it's some kind of subtlety - perhaps the first interrupt after the EI causes 5 and 6 to reset for...

[TI ASM] IM 2 randomness.

Hi, all. I've written a small program to test the randomness of the interrupt vector in IM 2. I was inspired by Sigma's interrupt tutorial ( archived version if you have problems accessing the original) which, unfortunately, seems to get it wrong. But it is an interesting idea, and I'd like to explo...
