I reckon high level languages are good. With Blitz you got a stable framework to produce games fast. If you are going to code a large project in ASM, youre going to end up with a whole lot more bugs plus it takes longer.

Fractals

A fractal effect I came up with a while back. Its hideously slow for what it does, but it looks kind of cool. Change the effect by altering the constant values, just dont set 'recursions' much higher cos it wont look any better, it will just eat up all you*snip*

You dont have to have everything in one file using Blitz. I use Includes in my blitz progs all the time. And at the end of the day blitz is near enough a scripting language as it is.

Fast Image Scaling
20th August 2007

This is some code I am working on for my raycaster. It creates an array of scaled images to remove the need for realtime scaling. Each frame has its own handle and is sized appropriately to save RAM usage. At them moment there is only 1 scaled image array,*snip*

Yeah I had tried the code, and it works with varying player facing directions. I just cant see it working when the target direction is changed. Both are variables. I came up with something similar myself, that I initially thought worked, but later found ou*snip*

Yeah, apparently the solution has something to do with using the dot product of a vector at right angles to the way it is facing and the vector to the object you want to turn towards.

Cheers Jay. I have kind of given up on this code I was doing, as its become a bit of a mess. Hopefully I'll get back to it in a couple of days or so with a fresh head.

No basically the program doesent do anything interactive at the moment. Its just so I can get the pathfinding, and movement following paths sorted out.
For each waypoint I get a sequence of tiles to move between to reach it. These are adjacent or diagonal*snip*

I'm coding automated movement in my raycasting prog at the moment. It uses A* to find a path, then rotates to face the next tile to move to. I want to find out what direction to turn in will take the least rotation.
So say I know the target facing I want *snip*

In C you can perform pixel writing operations much faster, because you can write each one directly to memory, instead of having to pass co-ordinates into a function which has to convert them.
If you use decide to use SDL then heres a writepixel function I*snip*
