Masking is quite simple to do. There will be a small time penalty, but nothing too drastic.DarkerLine wrote:To essentially rephrase the question, will there be masking?
Hmm... I don't have an 84+SE so I guess I'll have to do some reading about that. When I started this engine there was no such thing as an 84CompWiz wrote:That demo is amazing. However, I noticed that without the lcd fix program, the display gets messed up after a little while of running this on an 84+SE. With it, it works fine.
Stupid TI display drivers

There is always the option of a game "loosely based" on Elite. Change the ship designs and names, etc.benryves wrote:Stunts (AKA 4D Stunt Driver)? That used a very primitive, blocky polygonal engine. The "physics" (loosest possible meaning) might be a tad difficult though.
Naturally, Elite, but I guess that's been covered. And we don't want Mr. Braben on our backs, do we?
Another good one would be "Corncob 3D". It's a very old but extremely entertaining flight sim set in an anternate history. I thinks it's available as freeware these days, not sure how it would run on modern machines though.
But as has been stated, I really need to perfect the polygon clipping before this engine will be useful. I am using a home-brewed adaption of Sutherland-Hodgman clipping. But instead of clipping to each plane one at a time (which would be too slow), I am trying to do all six simultaneously. It works fine for wireframe models, but polygons are a bit of a pain.
Yeah, you have to be aware of that. Most of the people buying calcs now(at least at my school) get the 84's. I think that Harvest moon by Spencer won't play on anything except the 83+(not even 83SE) at all because of the display drivers. That game used some of the more advanced visual display techniques.qarnos wrote:DarkerLine wrote:Hmm... I don't have an 84+SE so I guess I'll have to do some reading about that.

The demo did work on my 84+SE. The LCD fix is neccesary to play(without visual effects) quite a few games.

How about the 1991 PC game F-29 retaliator? ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/grayscale_smile.gif)
That game really rocked, and I think it should be possible to recreate that for calculators. You only need a horizon, some enemy planes, a few very simple buildings, an overlay of a cockpit and of course really cool grayscale splashscreens![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/grayscale_cool.gif)

Exactly! And that you had to run by starting the brilliantly clearly named program "X" ![Razz :P](./images/smilies/grayscale_grin.gif)

"Not long ago, the Black Gate of Armonk swung open. The lights went out, my skin crawled, and dogs began to howl. I asked my neighbor what it was and he said, 'Those are the nazgul. Once they were human, now they are IBM's lawyers.'"

I bet you'd be just as manly if your plane got shot down by enemy fighters, and your only chance of survival was to hold on to your very crappy 1991-styled parachutethreefingeredguy wrote:That is the manliest thing I have ever seen.

How on earth did I change the topic from a 3D engine to manliness?
