not really, most people still call ionfastcopy, just change the shells.

It says it doesn't work for the normal 83+....which is what i have. So no, I don't think so. Sorry for being off topic, but it's importent.

Fair enough. Hmm, I never actually heard about this happening on the regular 83+ before.

Have you tried using flatter batteries?

That's all BASIC, btw.
We've all written Basic 3D engines (or I guess most of us have), and they are all slow and useless. So apart from proving CompWiz right, what exactly are you trying to say?
But do they do dynamic lighting, shading, and hidden lines?

This is quite impressive, can't wait to see what it will do

Why on earth would you want dynamic lighting, shading, and hidden lines anyway? A simple 3D engine like Quake is good enough and plus having only two different "colors" would make it even harder to see.

Actually, it uses dither shading.

I'm trying to determine the sarcasm quotient of that comment...

Flatter? Like more drained? Umm, kind of, as I use my batteries till the calc no longer turns on.....

Do you think I care if it uses dither shading?
Don't get me wrong, it's just weird that you spend THAT much time on calcs when you could be doing some advanced programming on the comp.

Necro, I'm sure you have a brain. Please post something more intelligent here:

necro · Post by **necro** » Fri 09 Dec, 2005 6:00 pm

no like sarcasm? Fine...

The Meaning of Life:
We were all placed here by coincodence and our only purpose is to find a purpose within ourselves...regardless of what every one else thinks. Your purpose may be grand, wicked, or very simple...but all you can do is either run with it or from it...so dont feel lost but feel found...found within yourself...intelligent enough?

If kerm wants to play with calcs, that is his right and buisness...if he wants to code ascii polyginal masterpieces...also his buisness...if he wants to make computer programs...again, his choice, his purpose. Find your own purpose now and run with it (my purpose right now seems to be to post off topicly)

Guys this is qarnos's project thread. Please dont fill it up with pages-upon-pages of ramble.

well said, tr1p...

what we need is a quake-like game...

I've been playing around with some camera stuff and thought I'd put it up here.

It's the bouncing cubes again, except this time it's a bit more interactive. Use the arrow keys to rotate the camera and plus and minus to move forwards/backwards.

A few points:

1) The way the arrow keys rotate the object may seem weird. It's because I'm lazy.

2) No polygon clipping yet - objects are just culled if they intersect the frustum planes.

3) There may still be a bug or two. I had some problems but I think they're fixed now, but don't run this on a real calc if you can't afford a RAM clear

You can download it here (83+ only this time).
