thought so.  maybe we could help xlibman learn ASM by writing him a custom table file with longer instruction names and modify ASMin28 to have the longer names ^^

although i like ASM the way it is, I have to agree with xlibman that most of the time, the code part is not very wide at all.  it's just short 2-4 letter instructions with 1-2 character arguments, with some occasionally large label names.  and with SPASM, you could use local labels and then it gets even shorter.  data is usually large arrays that are pretty wide.

lol, now i see why the PS3 instructions have those names:
mpyhhau
Multiply high high add unsigned


shlqbybi
Shift left quadword by bytes from bit shift count

Yeah. I really like RISC instructions, even though they can get lengthly, because they do specialized things, and are very descriptive.

Hey we could do that. We should write a custom Table file!

Alright back for another contest.

Answer the following question:

Assuming that 4D people are real. Could a 3D being lock up a safe ,with the craziest technology ever, and put chains around, and every thing else, with money inside. And then could a 4D person put its "hand" inside the safe without ever touching any of the security, or even the walls of the safe, and steal the money in the safe?

Radical_Pi: Very nice, and can you explain how you came to this conclusion? You can choose to hand over your privilege over to someone else. (You will receive a beta though if you do obtain an 89 though before the time the beta is handed out)

Madskillz: Well he already won. :(sad.gif One more contest will be directed here though.

Also sorry DJ_Omnimaga, and Ranman for not seeing your posts.(It didn't show up as unread)

Here is the explanation:

Dimensions are based on perpendiculars and although the 4th dimension has not been discovered it can be easily attributed to other things. For example a 2 dimensional world has two axes that expand on forever to make a plane.

Now the 3rd dimension just adds a perpendicular axis to this 2nd dimension which means to get to the 1st dimension you would have to go through the 2nd.

So think of it this way the 4th dimension is perpendicular to the 3rd dimension. ;)wink.gif That is hard to think about, and impossible to draw since we can only see, write, and think in the 3rd dimension.

Onto the answer to my question about the safe. First know this:

4th dimension is to the 3rd dimension as the 3rd dimension is to the 2nd dimension

Now with that in mind. How would we take money out of a 2 dimensional person's safe. Well the safe could only look like this(with money "="):

+---+
+==+
+---+

So now how can you take the money out of that locked safe up there? Well just pull it out perpendicularly to the 2D guy's world, and he won't even notice it is gone! Locks and all. :)smile.gif

(END)

Ranman: To answer your question. We do not know what constitutes a 4D person, but it is thought that if a 4D person were to walk through this dimension we would only see spheres hanging in the air. Just as a 2D person would only see slices(lines) of a 3D person walking through its dimension.

it's also a common explanation for how hyperdrive works.  the 4th dimension is supposedly shorter than all the others in scifi.

Sorry it has been so long since I update you guys on the graphics. As you probably know I am making a lot of these free hand so it is taking a bit longer than expected...plus I am pretty busy with school and work.

Anyways I am getting close to having them all wrapped up logo wise.
Here are is the current line up: (There on the far right)
user posted image

I got about 6-7 left to do, I think. Feedback is always welcome. I am gonna push to get these done this week. Sprite work will start probably about a week after I finish the logos, but I gotta get some of my z80 projects updated so it may not be until november sometime. What were the sizes on the character sprites again?

I hope Halifax didn't ditched this O_Oshocked2.gif because last time I talked to him on IRC he said he diddn't but he seems more into computer C programming now, and usually when it happens (from experience in the community) the person ditch calcs :Swacko.gif

I hope he comes back on this project though. Maybe he was just waiting for the logo sprites

This is awesome sprites Madskillz, nice job on them, but don't make the toronto one last one in your todo list else I will murder all non canadians on this forum tomorrow :gotosucks:goto.gif
