Ok, well SirCmpwn has been having some troubles with his parents being jerks and taking away all of his free life.  But he is still making calc programs and getting the stuff he needs.  His parents blocked omni, cemetech, and IRC from his computer.  But he is getting a friend to make him a custom liveboot cd with xchat, wine, and ubuntu on it, so he might be able to get on soon.  But he told me to tell you "that i may be offline for a very long time, with the exception of a couple quick visits every now and again".

Anyways, onto his program.  He made a 3d program that uses the same method as most computers use for 3d stuff.  it uses a direction vector as L4, L1,2,3 hold the x,y,z positions respectivly.  I'm going to upload a screenshot in a second (w00t wabbit works in ubuntu's wine).  So I'll get that to you soon.  Also I can ask SIr any questions you have about it.  it takes about 5-7 seconds per frame, and he will port it to axe soon, but is having some trouble with it.

ok, here's the screen shot, and the program.  It uses the arrow keys and '(' ')' to move the object around.  Run program run3dtst to start.  Press Clear to quit.

Ive been waiting for this screenie! W00t 3D is awesome .

Tell him good work .

Nice work!  It does take a bit long to render though o.O seems there could be some optimisation there.  I'll take a look at the code...

Idk, but they are theoretically capable and his parents 'read' the IRC logs according to him.

I hope he can at least continue doing calc stuff from school and hopefully PC programming and that he can get on Omni from friend house or using some tools (that he keeps out of reach from his parents). I think his situation is really unfair and there's abuse from the parents part. I got my calc taken away a few times before cuz I didn't do chores and the like and my mom hated electronic with a passion, but at least I still was allowed to use it and has some freedom.

That said the program looks awesome. Hopefully someone can relay us updates for him in the future and he can return here permanently eventually. I would like to see this ported to Axe eventually, if it's possible at all, because by the BASIC speed, it looks like in Axe it could get a pretty great framerate for 3D

Hi
Converting to Axe is hell.  It may never happen.  I'm trying, but it is super hard.

That's exactly why
