Well I think the reason they are saying this could be needed is because people don't usually go looking for that type of thing. Honestly, I didn't when I first got here. I just kind of picked up on things.

They just want something that answers a bunch of "noobish" questions that is directly in the forums so you can just see it go "Hey! I should probably look at this thing, could answer a few questions!" (Of course that would only work in a ideal situation :P (I'm talking about that response type thing, by the way :P))

Miscellaneous / Re: SirCmpwn not(C parents blocked Omnimaga again

Why are the blocking calc sites?  It makes no sense.
They are probably totally against using calculators for entertainment purposes and think it should be only used for school. I hate when older adults are so narrow-minded about technology. We were born into it. They need to quit trying to make us stop using it as much as possible if we enjoy it. I hate how they try to make us live the same way as they did when they were kid. We're in 2010, not in 1970. Just make sure your kids succeeds in school, get a job when they are older, not cause trouble when they get older and respect others.

TheWorld Browser is just an IE-wrapper. (that is, it actually requires IE, and wraps its own functionality around it) Probably not a very secure browser, on that merit. It's likely vulnerable to the same exploits, and stores your history and temporary files in the same location IE does. There is an option to clear private files, but I don't know how accurate and deep-down it is.

May as just use a portable build of Firefox, Opera, or any other browser of your preference. Opera is pretty fast, in terms of start-up speed.
I agree with Opera. On my new quad core computer with 8 GB of RAM, Firefox still manages to take 5 times longer to startup than Opera.

IE 0.3-0.5 seconds
Opera 0.5-1 seconds
Firefox 2-5 seconds
Chrome 0.1-1 seconds

Despite IE faster loading time, IE loads pages much slower. Firefox loads them a bit slower than Opera too but much faster than IE. Chrome has a quite good speed too. I really only recommend IE if you are really comfortable with its interface and be careful to what sites you are visiting. Otherwise I recommend one of the others. Plus most got portable versions anyway, if you don't have them installed

Honestly I would say let SirCmpwn answer that since he is the one living with them so he knows their reasons the best. Speculating can be a really bad thing (sorry, not trying to be rude). I just know that if I were trying to answer that and saw people saying their own reason that weren't fully backed up or not confirmed then I would get a little peeved. (I am however not saying you are wrong, just that (unless he has told you this, in which case I am sorry for saying this) you don't know for sure or anything.)

Wow, despite not looking 100% perfect (the later screenshot) it sure draws circles friggin fast!

Sadly I can't help much though because we did not do a lot of trig at school (it was only people who had advanced maths classes) and most was forgotten since my last math class was 7 years ago

Well that is kind of lame that they only left trigonometry for more advanced classes. Personally I learned the basics and such it my freshman and sophomore year (9th and 10th grade in USA). It really isn't that hard of a concept to learn. Maybe I'll try to throw together another tutorial (since Builderboy already has here here) before I leave or have one for when I get back.

I really like that shadow in the second one better, looks more realistic. Great work on this, still can't wait ;D

thanks calcdude! it's been modified for my purposes but i doubt i would've come up with that code on my own.
EDIT: the inside of your sprite gif looks like a perfect circle, though.

That's due to the properties of how sprites are displayed I believe. If it displayed sprites from the center instead of the top-left corner you would get a skewed inner-circle (I believe).

@shmibs
That is pretty cool. I've never seen that. Although technically I don't think that is head tracking. I think the box has sensors in it that tell it how to move (kind of like a program on my phone that I have that simulates 3D like that; It uses the g-sensor in the phone). Still cool though.

Ya, I can do it too if someone just give's me a group of questions to answer. I can try to think of some of my own too.

I just tested Darl181's code. It doesn't give a BSOD at all. At least not on mine. All it did was darken it slightly then when you press [CLEAR] lightens it.

lol @ calcdude's first line. (The who's/whose part) :P

As for the token's are too wide problem, I recommend storing the table to [A] and then using Pause [A] to display the table. :)

Well I more meant like if she is planning on putting lines between everything.

Code: (With Lines) [Select]
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
█1█2█3█4█5░█
████████████
█6█7█8█9█10█
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

Code: (Without Lines) [Select]
1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10

Obviously these aren't multiplication tables but hopefully you get what I mean by it can get tricky.

Welcome here to Omnimaga. Enjoy your stay here. The screenshots look really good. Just remember to be aware of the 8 kb of executable code limit that Axe has. Good luck on your projects though :)

Ya, that routine works for the most part (you do need to change Pt-On( to Pxl-On( and put a DispGraph at the end). Only thing is that the circle produced is sort of square-ish.

Edit:
Here is a screenshot of what I mean.

Edit 2:
Here is one with a sprite.

Also, glad you got use from it, nemo.

When 0.3.0 is released tonight (hopefully), I think the grayscale will look a lot better since I improved both of the routines.  Not only does it look better on real hardware, but also it seems to finally be in sync with wabbit settings.  Much thanks again to calc84maniac.

Will it look equally good in both 6 and 15 MHz mode? Or still just 6 MHz?
