Gaming Discussion / Re: SCII out!

Yeah, SCII is a bit too big for me. I have the disk space; I just don't want to commit 12 GB to a game.
SCI is fun, efficient, and small.

We need some sort of quality control, though, lest the newcomers think Omnimaga is a site dedicated to creating quadratic solvers in Axe :P

YES! This was pretty quick, too.
Congrats to ExtendeD and the Ndless team :)
Now if only RunOS or Ndless 2 would magically appear...

Oh yes! SC 2 has invaded the world (at last). No more delays :D

Other Calculators / Re: ti-nspire google group

Well, your average user buys a calculator first, and then discovers the community, so they would buy a CAS and then feel angry that RunOS exists.
Of course third-party code should be allowed! I remember the days when TI actually supported its community.

Those people all have the misconception that TI calculators make students more intelligent, which is frankly not true. IMO a calculator is a tool to assist its user with otherwise tedious/impossible calculations, and should have as many features as possible.
Since they make us so angry, let us just ignore them.

The "pseudo-random function" is usually simply f(x) = x^2 + 1 mod n. It means that the sequence f(x), f(f(x)), f(f(f(x))), ... behaves like a random sequence.

Yep, ray-tracing has its advantages :)

This would only to the bottom layer, but I agree it would still be nice.
I think I really will convert Ncaster to fixed point as soon as I find the time to do so. It'll be a bit tricky, but 2x speed increase with no algorithmic changes is well worth the work.

Yeah, I've seen that before.
Why XP, I wonder? Vista and 7 look way better.

Here are the GTK and Emerald themes.
I'll get the icon theme to you some other way, since it is 11 MB.
Take the final .zip extensions off the two files. You might want to take out the 'blarg' too, since that was to prevent a duplicate filename error.
The themes aren't mine, but they were redistributable to begin with and I couldn't find the sites I got them from.

In theory, yes. In reality, due to speed concerns, Ncaster would definitely have to be converted to fixed-point in order to get enough FPS.
This is more useful for stuff like racing games. It basically does the same thing a Mode 7 engine would, only using a different method.
