Challenges & Competitions / Re: [LIQUID] Liquidize Retro
« on: April 12, 2010 »
Intel version works here -- music's driving me mad as it's soooo familiar but I can't place it! Visually very interesting, I thought, and the scroller made me laugh (I wish I'd asked for points in mine now).

Crashes here too (although the sample keeps playing, which makes me want to see it even more!) -- Intel GMA fingy, so that'll be why.

Oh maaan, I just switched to Ubuntu, meaning I can't code with B3D and take advantage of some of the cheap ways to get water fx that it offers. Good excuse to have a play around with BMax, though...
Oh, hello everyone!

PixmapPixelPtr() seemingly has its uses here.

Sure! I meant to mention it for the Halloween comp but it totally slipped my mind. I'm not necessarily looking to do a GBA demo (although I might if it were allowed) but there are a fair few people who tinker with it so it might be nice to consider in future. I really want to use BlitzMax for the XMas compo as I've invested a bit of time in picking up its OOP-ishness. Still racking my brain as to what to do...

I meant Visual Boy Advance and as other Win32 emulators are specifically listed I guess it's not allowed.

Out of interest, what's the most user-friendly way to write new SID tunes these days?

That was a great compo -- I can see that I am going to have to skulduggerously start work on my Xmas compo entry now to have any chance at all

GFX & sound / DBF Ascii logo (FIGlet)
« on: August 12, 2007 »
Just came across FIGlet and have been messing around with it. The Graffiti font squishes together so pleasingly that I thought I'd add va!n's flyer tagline and post the results. This is about as arty as you're going to get from me, I'm afraid

General coding questions / Re: from start to finish
« on: August 09, 2007 »
You always have the option of diving straight into Xbox360 development by using the XNA framework under C# with Visual Studio Express. Free downloads from Microsoft, all (although there's a yearly subscription fee for accessing the XNA user stuff on 360, but you could always develop for Windows with XNA first to see if you even like it). C# is object oriented also and more 'managed' (it's less prone to letting you *really* screw up) than C++ although less of an industry standard for anything other than tools I understand.

Blitz / Re: another lens demo with source [BMax]
« on: August 06, 2007 »
I thought to try something similar in B3D some time ago. I got some speed by rendering a texture from the lens' point of view, but the effect is less pronounced as-is. Still, if we're covering all the bases...
