Pete's QBASIC Site

I doubt Ill be finishing anything at this rate because aparently this "UGL" already does everything I was trying to do with DirectQB 2.0

So does this mean Im wasting my time?

Arrggghhh! I can never get to these posts in time to actually type
anything usefull cause' everybody always beats me to em'! Oh yeah and
Calkins they're called "Masks" not "Silhouettes".

ewwwwww, Linux! Windows!!!!!!!! It's way easier to work with than any other operating system!

Just installed a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500! Bad news is it only does VESA modes in 640x480... crud. So I hate to dissapoint everybody but it appears as if DirectQB 2.0 will be restricted to 640x480 unless I can figure out something!

(Ill be writing updates on this post, it worked for Seb!)

Just completed LIGHT.BAS, a demonstration of the DrawLine and Screen functions. It should be up on/around OCTOBER 3rd with another demo for the SetGamma and DrawPixel commands.

K I guess Ill write something like that!

Classical all the way! It supposed to make you smarter O_o...?

Dont worry about it, Wait... does ugl have sound support? If not, well then at least Ill have one thing up on it!

Well, Im shooting for somthin' better!

Oh yeah and expect an update around the 3rd of October

errrg! Thing is, as far as I know you cant use this "UGL" in QB!

Yes it is big, are you aware of what DirectX is? Well imagine creating DirectX for a language like QB. A guy by the name Angelo did this creating probably the most widely used library that QB has ever seen! Though this DirectQB library lacks a few things. It only supports 320x200x256 graphics, no so...

Are you new to QB?

Never mind, just figured out it was the only way.

Direct QB 2.0 needs sound support where you can mix to sound channels together. Im gonna use the processor to mix the channels and then route them to the sound card. Here's the problem, How much processing time do you suppose it might take to mix then play a sound via the CPU? Cause if it takes to l...

Id like to write an article not listed there, Binary Space Partioning anyone or maybe some Sprite FX tricks? Id like to know if that would interest anybody before I write it and try to sumbit it. Oh yeah and how do you submit articles?

Wait my bad, I forgot to say why the whole AND and OR thing work... Okay so you know that a mask's background pixels are white and there is a big black spot in the middle which is your sprite. When you AND on your mask here is what happens: the masks pixels which are white are in binary as: 11111111...

Your right, I was considering asking him but figured it was okay. So if your there lilo, give me a heads up! And as for how long it will take, Ill be posting updates in EXE form on Mystic's ASCII site so you can see progress, I dunno because who knows how long ASM coding will take! But yeah I finall...
