Title: Quick test needed please :)
Post by: Shockwave on June 19, 2007
This is going to end up as my entry to the banana comp, I am having a little bit of difficulty knowing how much texture detail to useso I made a quick example using quite a lot.

I want the texture in the demo to be pixelated so don't worry about that, all I need to know are basic system information and whether it ran with any glitches / real slow / smooth etc..

Just so I can decide how much detail to have.

Thanks :)

Get the odd dropped frame here, but that might just be my system.  Otherwise fast.  P4 3GHz, X1600.

Looks very cool ... looking forward to see your final entry, Shocky !!!

It keeps crashing my C64.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Thank you for your tests folks :) Don't expect anything too flash from me.

CK, I'll look into that C64 bug!

@va!n: jeez these are friendly grounds, first board ever where I don't get asked to explain my handle! :D 
Fact: 90 just doesn't have the same allure.

@Shockwave: stylish hardcore bananas! Running smoothly here too.

2nd version w/bananas(?) ran kinda slow on my machine. If i hadn't known that they were supposed to be bananas I wouldnt have known cause the pic is too blocky cause of scaling.

What system specs please bill? (processor speed mainly).

Unfortunately the banana emoticon is 35 * 33 and scaled up and texture mapped on an 800 X 600 screen the blockyness is unavoidable unless the bananas were designed as vectors.

Perhaps I'll draw them smaller on the texture and have a few more of them instead. :)

athlon 1.2 - dont know maybe the rotation of the object is supposed to be slow - no frame counter so i have no clue as to what is normal, fast or slow.

Post by: Shockwave on June 21, 2007
I was interested in seeing if it dropped frames, but it was probably pretty slow on a 1.2ghz anyway... I'll reduce the texture resolution a bit anyway which should help a bit.

Post by: Jim on June 26, 2007
Possibly a cacheing problem on the Athlon, especially when drawn rotated at 90 degrees.  How big is/was that texture Shockwave?

Erm, I am not sure. I think it was about 64 * 64
