Zip It

6th January 2017

My archive software favorite is 7z, it's at least comparable to WinRar if not better at compressing most files and it's free. BTW, it will also decompress .rar files as well as many other compression formats.
I haven't used WinRar in years so *snip*

HoloDeck?

15th September 2016

I really don't know how to convey the concept to you in a way that you can accept.
It is your contention that 27 bytes of info are needed to be loaded for every atom in the entire database for one 1024x768 screen/frame.

HoloDeck?

What if the 'atoms' contain most of the pixel information needed in the data base/structure, surely you wouldn't want to re-load or re-calc that information. Maybe you could try to envision the majority of the needed rendering information as a *snip*

The infinite resolution is definitely marketing hype.
But as far as data needed per second of animation is not as extreme as Shroom Monk would have you believe. He's basing most of his assumptions from existing 3D polygon based rendering. With the rig*snip*

Well if you take the guys explanation at face value, he stated that they've developed an advanced 3D search algorithm to make it all work.

Rar vs Zip

27th July 2012

7zip is a new variation of zip which out performs and usually compresses better than zip or rar. As mentioned 7zip is free, and it also decompresses .rar's, bzips, tars, zips as well.

Any good books, lately?

30th March 2012

George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" (5 book series).
Excellent writing, awesome character development, and stuff to make you empathize with characters.
All in all a great read.

Nice fading effect

You could also do something like this.

inc# = .05 ; there are 20 steps of 0.05 between 0.0 and 1.0
fadeRate% = 50 ; update alpha value every 'fadeRate' milliseconds

Image rotation?

1st December 2010

A quick and dirty way to fill in the gaps is to plot a 2x2 rect instead of a single pixel.
The drawback is that your image may be slightly distorted due to the way the rects overlap.

I bought a Kingston 'DataTraveler 200' 128GB USB drive for $42 - 3 weeks a ago. I looked for the same drive today, and the lowest price is $275, so I won't recommend you spend that much. However you can get a 32GB USB drive for $49 here...

Level storage?

1st July 2010

@Mog: Yeah, in the good ol' days (c64 era) everything was stored in nybbles and bytes. The worst part was that if you didn't write some type of editor, you had to do the binary translating yourself.

Level storage?

1st July 2010

Why not store your values (0-15) as eight 4-bit values per unsigned long?
To encode or decode would be rather trivial using the "<<", ">>", "&" operators in C, and would reduce storage requirements to only 12.5% of original.
