NOOOOOO it's broken what are we gonna becoooome

Yeah, maybe we'll (with ben_g) do that, but first we have to get the solid surfaces working

Yeah that's it, and thanks

Also, if you cant think of more things that you would like have added to the axiom, say it

Thanks I first thought about a Star Fox like or something ...

* Matrefeytontias dreams about nice things

There is already a StarFox project by thepenguin77, but it only runs for 15MHz models, so not for your 83+.

Will the Axiom support solid walls (even if they are only white, with no textures) or only wires ?

This project is by long discontinued. Also yeah, I forgot to mention that the programs on the screenshot all runs at 6 MHz

And yeah, solid surfaces are my next item on my list. That's why I mentionned polygon filling.

And thanks DJ_O

Hi guys !

Some of you may be aware of my "super-secret-project", and now that it reached a releasable state, I don't make you wait any more

So, the project I'm working on is an axiom (ASM for Axe so) which allows you to work with 3D vertices in a high-level way. Before saying anything, please know that I didn't made any 3D calculus during the development of this axiom. I just ported the 3D routine set Juha3D by yhean from pure ASM to Axe-friendly ASM, which still was a PITA that took me 27 days, especially because I've fully done it with Mimas (yeah, I'm a great Mimas fan) So, all credits goes to him (wherever he is now) for the 3D calculations (and I would especially thank him for his wonderful macros and SMC that aren't allowed in an axiom coded with Mimas and which gave me strong headaches).

Instead of explaining the way it works any further, have a look at the 3 current commands of the axiom, which are all available in the [PRB] menu ([math][?]) :

Command	Token	Effect
CalcMatrx(x_angle,y_angle,z_angle)	randInt(	Calculates the rotation matrix given the X, Y and Z angles. The matrix is written to the whole 9 bytes of OP1, this means that it got destroyed by float{}, GetCalc or a call to Ans (tell me if I forgot something).
RotVertx(x_coord,y_coord,z_coord,outputArea)	randNorm(	Rotate a vertex given its X, Y and Z coordinates according to the rotation matrix calculated with a previous call to CalcMatrx and writes the resulting coordinates to the 6 bytes starting at outputArea.
ProjVertex(x_coord,y_coord,z_coord)	randBin(	Converts 3D coordinates into 2D ones. Basically, it takes a point in space and converts it into a point on screen. It returns the X coordinate in L and the Y coordinate in H, so make a modulus 256 on the returned value to have the X coordinate, and divide it by 256 to have the Y coordinate. Don't forget that you'll need to use a camera offset (distance from the camera to the plan) to avoid having the vertices display right on your face !

And now ... examples time !

The classic cube :

8 vertices, 12 links, 4 calls to getKey, 29 FPS

Omnimaga's logo :

20 vertices, 30 links, 4 calls to getKey, and still strong - 14 FPS !

Trip through the galaxy !

32 vertices, no links, 4 calls to getKey, moving camera, 12 FPS

I attached the axiom itself, AXMJH3D.8xv, and the source of the cube program as a small example, CUBE.8xp.

Note that it's not a complete project. Yeah, it's only a port of Juha3D, but I'm actually looking for people who would want to get into it with me in order to build a full axiom that could provide by himself all the functionalities that working with volumetric objects would require (scaled down to calc dev of course, so I'd be really happy only with polygon filling, but I'm sure people can think - and realize - better than only that ).

So, to make it clear : if you want to team up with me to carry this axiom even further, do a big up

Have fun, and share comments !

LAST UPDATE : http://ourl.ca/18452/346582

Yeah you're right. But if I sell a calc, my parents will never let me have another one in fact they won't even let me gain one. I seriously think of aborting my participation.

Unfortunately I won't be able to post any code until tomorrow evening I'm at a mountain trip since a week, and I just brought my calc and my phone -> no PC I'll send you the code asap.
