The way I learnt to do is it is simple and fast. (I you haven't already, I recommand btw using a assembly key handler, search for multikey if you don't know one) I make a lookuptable for the biggest axe of the map. So if the map is 25x20 and the tiles 64x64, I make 2 lookuptables of the size 64*25 (...

I think it is due of the inaccuraccy of integer math, because when I changed the scaleing size to a bigger, there were a lot more pixels coloured wrong. still I hate this error, but I'll still put the rotozoomer in a demo because it's kind of impressive.

Problem with billinear filtering with fixed point math

I made a rotozoomer that is billinear interpolated and uses fixed point math, but it has a big problem. Everywhere were dark pixels should be, white pop up. It really irritates me because I really spend some time on the program and this is the last bug, if this one's out then I can be extremely prou...

Mmm. there are some weird things you say there. LINE (0,0) ? (40,40), 3, BF Should make a box. It's filled because of the BF at the end. B will show the edges(B = Box, BF = Box, Filled). No BF or B will show the line. Notice that in some screen modes, (I remember 9 and 13 but I'm not quite sure), sq...

Sorry there are no comments. It computes for every point if there's light at that point. You have to see to understand... Hope you like it, I saw this in a game and tried for some time to code it and I got it working some time ago... I will try multiple lights soon, shouldn't be too hard... The game...

Usually, you translate, rotate and translate again. You can avoid that first translate if you have a static(not-moving) rotation point. Then you translate everything one time and save the new points. Then you just rotate and translate...

Well. There is, somewhere in memory, a large portion of bytes which holds the screen data. You can manipulate them with POKE and PEEK. If you set DEF SEG = &HA000, and then poke at 320 * y + x, and with the colour as argument, you have a faster alternative for pset. Example: (pset) POKE y * 320 ...

It might be better if you read some tutorial on this first... BTW, you use GET to get a character from a file, and PUT to put a character at some position.

You want to open a binary file (if that's not the problem, please clarify it a bit, because I don't understand the problem)? That goes like this: OPEN file$ FOR BINARY AS #1 (Suppose file #1 is free) FOR position = 1 to 10 PUT #1, position, number NEXT position CLOSE #1 There may be some things wron...

Have you read burger's post: Renaming a file as a .EXE is not right: you need to compile it. Basically you can give any file any extension: it is just to let windows know what program to open it with. A .EXE and a .TXT file can both hold the same data.

Burger was 100% right. Trillions of bits is a ridicilous idea. There is another way I can think of to still try the things you want, pepsijoe. Say each cell has a lifespan of 100. Then you can make an array of 100 long integers wich hold how many cells have that lifespan. Then you put them in a loop...

The bit stuff was needed to store a large map in an array of 32000 integers. It is a map that uses only one bit instead of eight(so you need to convert them). Like that you're able to expand the limit of the map by 8 times. Then you apply a texture on that. I'm still finding a good manner to draw th...
