Nah I mean more the programs on Nehe that use special things like mipmapping, antialiasing and that kind of stuff.

When I browsed through some OpenGL apps on the internet, it seems to me that most of them are quite slow. IS this just because a lack of optimization? I used to think that OpenGL works at blazing speed.

That's cool to me! I would do the same. QB is a fine title, everybody knows this site as Pete's QB site. And, FB is based on QB and not inversed. QB is a stable interpreter and compiler, and FB is fully in development. Still, much of the suff here is for QB, and I don't think that QB is completely l...

Yeah. This is very weird and it sucks. I have it too. Sometimes, If I add 0.2 to 0.2 I get 0.399999999999999 and that kind of things. You should be able to get rid of this. You may round of on some decimal. I dont know what's the best way to do that. Don't directly use CINT or INT (at least, not for...

Ehm, you mean 2d rotation I believe? Like a rotozoomer? The formula for that is: RotatedX = ScreenX * COS(angle) - ScreenY * SIN(angle) RotatedY = ScreenX * SIN(angle) + ScreenY * COS(angle) For more info, check: The first two are about rotation only. The thirs is about rotozoomers (so also zooming ...

They give you more control over the memory. I also believe that they are faster. They don't make new things possible, I believe.

You can do some easy rotations by just swapping the x and y parameters, or replacing x by size - x and y by size - y.(I know this sounds vague :s) Example: you have a 5x5 matrix and you want to rotate a little piece out of it. First it's (i think) necessary to have a 'buffer' matrix. To store the va...

Code exchange subforum?

Maybe it is a nice ieda to make a subforum for code (snippets)? So people could show thier progs and anyone could ask for small pieces of code? Like that people could learn new (perhaps better) ways to do specific stuff.

First, ask the user to input a word. I would then make a loop that runs from 1 to the length of the word (LEN(word$)). In that loop, get the ASCII number of the character at that position(with MID$ and ASC) and add it to an integer variable which is set to 0 before the loop. To get the ascii number ...

Yes, you're right, but it seems like the compiler doesn't even load the SDL lib, because it doesn't even recognize 'SDL_quit'. That is really weird, because including the libs is just: '$include: "\sdl\sdl.bi" 'sdl function and constants declaration '$include: "\gl\gl.bi" 'OpenGL...

The code allowed you to use graphical text (Ildurest) and my particular routine made the text larger. I also made a graphic scroller that works way better than ASCII text would. Ring any bells? Yes.

Well, it is much easier to use when you can define how much bits you need for one variable. Also it is much easier when you want to do something that's monochronome.

Too bad... So I still have to make byte-to-bit LUTs, and 8-bits-to-byte LUTs.
Ok thanks.
