Designing a NES themed game for Blitz3rd August 2009 If you have Blitz3D, you can output the scene to a texture (for any size you need), then draw that to the screen as a sprite/quad (for any resolution you want). |

timing problem24th February 2009 Well, I guess that's because 1000 / 30 = 33.3 :) E.g. Frames, ticks, seconds, FPS (Hz), etc. Ah, to make the 2nd program more precise, try change this: [code] If (MilliSecs()-TIME)>=1000 TIME=MilliSecs():FT#=1.0 EndIf [/code] Into this: [code] D*snip* |

timing problem19th February 2009 Off-topic: Following rules Hey Hotshot m8 :) You are a mindreader! Only a few days before you wrote that I was working on it :) It's progressing, but slowly :( I guess I could post some first chapters somewhere if you'd like. Please PM or email me ab*snip* |

Following rules19th February 2009 
For some reason people like posting a lot of off-topic stuff in threads (Image.gif) I don't know whether I should follow the trend, completely ignore the off-topic post in the middle of a thread, or send PMs instead. I guess I will do a little of both *snip* |

timing problem18th February 2009
Yes, that's the beauty of examples 3a, 3b and 4 (Image.gif) Enjoy ;) Well, I have some more tutorials and stuff on my Blitz website: Linky I think Decls (userlib declarations) are only available in later versions of Blitz3D and BlitzPlus. Maybe also*snip* |

timing problem16th February 2009 Another example, but simple, using a Blitz Timer. Also based on the timer itself. The problem here is that the code will wait long times, which is time that could be spent on something else :P This is due to WaitTimer, which simply sits and waits. But,*snip* |

timing problem16th February 2009 Basically the same as example 3, but without any Timers, e.g. everything manually, so you can see what happens 'behind the scenes'. Using maths to find the number of frames, for maximum precision, though more CPU intensive, due to floating point division.*snip* |
|
|
|
|
Teasy |
timing problem16th February 2009 Same as example 3a (high precision), but using Delta timing. Only the line with TimerDelta is altered. Example 3b [code] Include "TimerSystem 4b.BB" ; Sychronize time before creating timers MilliSecs = MilliSecs() ; Create a timer at number of FPS *snip* |

timing problem16th February 2009 High precision example, using a timer based on seconds. More CPU intensive though, due to the floating point division (or multiplication, in next example). See example 3b for same as this, but using Delta timing (only 1 line is changed!) :) Example 3a *snip* |

|
|
Teasy |
timing problem16th February 2009 Same as before, but using a higher precision (x10). Note that examples 1 and 2 are very inprecise because they are not directly depending on seconds. See next example for a better approach. The reason why this is inprecise is because 1000 / 30 (or 300) *snip* |

timing problem16th February 2009 Modified your code (from email) to use a single timer at predefined interval. Next example shows the precision. Example 1 [code] Include "TimerSystem 4b.BB" SetBuffer BackBuffer() ; Sychronize time before creating timers MilliSecs = MilliSecs() ; C*snip* |

timing problem16th February 2009 As you referred to my Timer System in email, I'll give some examples with and without my Timer System :) Btw, I've updated my Timer System here at SoCoder to the latest version, with some new handy functions :) Linky to code snippet Direct copy/paste: *snip* |
|
|
|
|
Teasy |
timing problem16th February 2009 Well, as MilliSecs returns a value in milliseconds, the maximum precision is milliseconds. But you can use any interpolation ('cut up') value which can make it seem as if the precision is higher :) Below I'll post the stuff I was going to email to you :)*snip* |

Command and Conquer Save Game Backups...16th February 2009 In C&C1 (on PC in 1994) each savegame is a single file with the format "SAVEGAME.???" which is simply sequential starting at "000". I usually just extract them from a backup savegame archive straight into the game folder :) (Heck, I'm still listening to *snip* |

Loading JPG's faster20th January 2009 Another work-around is something that Snarty (from way back) used to do which is basically making your own LoadImage. 1) Either load the JPG in manually or use a DLL or someone else's JPG loader (I bet there's one already somewhere). 2) Copy the entire p*snip* |

Program For Peace14th August 2008 
I've found that everywhere there's no war, there's peace.And even in those places where there is war, there's peace amongst the majority of places and people. So I believe it's not even needed to achieve world peace, as it's already here! (Image.gif) |

adnormal program termination on End?3rd August 2008
Hey, I've noticed that there are various ways your own Blitz code can trigger various Windows failsafe mechanisms, all the way up to blue screens (Image.gif) What I would do, is try running the program on someone else's computer, to see if the same erro*snip* |

Cool, yeah..I've added the option to my actionlist (so I don't forget) to try and see how it will work in practice to turn a full-fledged project into a CampFire :) The current CampFires are quite small, so I'm curious what will happen with something*snip* |
