Anyways, in my boredom, I created a couple of weapon sprites people could use in a calc FPS. Some of the sprites may seem familiar to Gemini's weapon sprites (especially the knife, which is almost the exact same), but most of them are original in the sense that I am the one who made the sprites instead of copying from somewhere.
So far I have 8 weapons done as well as their firing animations: a knife, a pistol, a crossbow (yes, I had to), a machine gun, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, a rocket launcher, and a grenade. The reticles for each weapon are also done (including the lock-on animation for the rocket launcher), as well as weapon bobbing during movement and bullet animations. Next up: reloading animations, projectile animations for the rocket launcher and the grenade, scope animation for the sniper rifle, improving the rocket launcher firing animation (right now it kind of looks like a giant turd is coming out of the end), optimizing the mini-program I made for the sprites, and finding another computer with a working version of TI-Connect or TiLP that I can use to upload the program and the sprites. Oh, and the sprites are 24x24, while the reticules are 8x8 (though there is an exception in which one reticule, the shotgun's, is 10x10).

The mini-program is, yes, in BASIC with the help of xLib. However, the mini-program is only intended to tie the sprites together and see them in a more organized way. And yes, it's possible, as there is no raycasting engine; just sprites being displayed as well as a couple of lines. :P
Plus, what do you mean by, "MOTHER@#$!#$ 5 times in 7 years..."?

Life stuff is mostly fixed, as the end of the 1st trimester in school is nearing, we are too young to have finals, and in 3 days we'll have Thanksgiving Break. As for my parents, let's just say my dad tried to... limit... my access to a computer after I successfully hacked his OpenFirmware password, which he thought was impossible to hack by someone as young as me. <_<
But now everything is cool as well, and he'll stop trying to... limit... me by Tuesday. Plus I'm probably getting a MacBook Pro with a working version of XP pre-loaded around the middle of this week. Post by: Liazon on November 18, 2007, 04:23:00 pm
good luck w/ the irl problems

And a calc FPS? in basic I am assuming, and with xLIB?
Hmm, I want to see this. Maybe a new, and somewhat fast(like the picture recalling) engine will come out of this.

Netham was makign one but it used omnicalc and grayscale. I am really curious about how fast a b/w one will run with xlib

Has anyone seen calc84maniac's 3D engine that used raycasting in BASIC. o.o
Although it only ran at about 1 FPS it was still a great BASIC achievement.
Post by: Delnar_Ersike on November 20, 2007, 03:54:00 pm
However, as I see it, I could try to combine CDI's engine with my mini-program to make something with even more eyecandy... %)

Oh and Calc84maniac run at one frame per minute, not per second iirc :P
, still cool though

Oh, and the rocket launcher's projectile animation is finished. I have also finally found another computer than works with TI-Connect, so expect a couple of screenies of the mini-program soon...

i forgot about my post so i guess ill explain now. 2001,2002,2005,2006 and now 2007. 5 years the New England Revolution has been in the MLS cup final and lost. second time in a row and against the same team that we have scored first and lost (houston dynamo). The game ended, i went downstairs to my comp, AIMed some people then posted that so it was heavily in my mind.

they seems to play more for money than anything else. I miss the good old days of Quebec vs Montreal in NHL, at least back then Canadiens were good cuz they had to move their a** to not lose against our local team, which was quite challenging for them.@Delnar Keep up the good work :)

For some reasons the lockout didn't seemed to have much effect over here though, in fact hockey is even more popular than before in most canadian towns and northern american places like Detroit

If I have more time, I will also implement the grenade projectile (it's harder than you expect) as well as make it so that the engine works no matter what the size or content of the map matrix is... well, except that the matrix needs to be made of ones and zeros and that the border of the matrix needs to be completely made of ones.

For a couple of reasons, I have split the program into 3 identical ones and changed them a bit. I have almost finished the third version, which is the pure raycasting engine: the only things left for me to do is optimize even more as well as fixing that damned bug. The current version of the program is attached to this post.
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 01, 2007, 02:44:00 pm
I'm glad to be able to try it tho :)
now lets hope it works on at least one emu
EDIT: O_O
crap how did u got it to run fast with such depth? Quake 4 arena ran at this speed and it only had one wall/horizon depth. nice job so far. My only complain is the slow key detection but it's xLIB which does that really.

thats unless you didn't own a copy of windows and your PC doesn't have windows preinstalled though.
Glad to see you're still working on this tho :)

Well, since I don't want to spend money on an OS nor do I want to pirate OS's, I chose Linux. Of course, I didn't know any of such troubles would arise (I thought Wine would be a wonder app), but I can handle them.
