GrayScale Routine Documentation

Post by **tr1p1ea** » Mon 03 Jan, 2005 5:27 am

Hey Duck, i was just wondering if you had made any progress on that GrayScale Routine Document you were thinking about whipping up. Are you still going to release something like that?

I think he is still busy with it... last time I spoke to him (on IM), I gave him some idea's for it

Its partly finished, but I still have to write much on the specifics of the routines.

Right now I'm too busy with an old project of mine (not corbin) which takes extremely much of my time. You'll see

Do you know what I think you know!? Or am I way off base...

That depends on what you know. But now you know what I know. Look at Anounce Your Projects.

Duck did you finish the GS Routine Document , or are you mostly going to forget about it and work on mario for now?

Duck · Post by **Duck** » Sun 23 Jan, 2005 12:46 pm

I should finish that stupid thing... Well now I dont have time for neither of them. I'll try to pick it up and write that little paper as soon as i have time again.

... There is plenty of documentation if you just want to 'use' Duck's Package (gray.txt).

What Duck is working on now will only be of use if you are interested in making your own grayscale routines.

Duck · Post by **Duck** » Sun 23 Jan, 2005 8:30 pm

Thats correct. And I can understand that people want optimized games thus want to write their own routines, and for that purpose one needs to understand the grayscale principles and GPP's implementation. The paper would serve these needs.
