Wow! That's impressive! How fast is it? Can you do real-time animation rendering?

Taking it being a calculator it would most likely take some time to render them and would probably not be very practical for gaming.

No, but I tell you what it would be good for: so sort of rotational solids calculating program for those teachers that are so intent on making you draw what you are figuring out.

It's way too slow at the moment, and if I continue to dither each frame it'll never be fast enough, since the dithering takes around a second and it's about as fast as it's going to get.

You dither the whole scene in a second ?

Yup, the back buffer stores 8 bits per pixel. This is downsampled to 2 bits per pixel (4 color gray scale) when SwapBuffers() is called. It takes about a second to process the whole back buffer. (160 x 100 = 16000 pixels)

Error dispersion dithering algorithms like floyd steinberg operate on whole images, not pieces of images, so dithering during scan conversion wouldn't have worked.

Even a second is amazing for a calc. Good job, you're again making me wish I had an 89. ;-)

Floyd-Steinberg algorithm is quite fast, after reading this news I installed a C compilator and made myself a grayscale->black&white converter for images using dithering. :D

Wow, that is extremely impressive. The amount of math that went into that is mind-boggling, considering the fact that is is true 3D and not just raycasted.

How does one creat a 3D object with this library? Can you create them on calc?

I basically wrote my own OpenGL software rasterizer, so you create objects the same way you would in OpenGL - by setting the appropriate state and then throwing vertices at the state machine.

Simply beautiful!
Why nobody has used this wonderful engine, I have no idea. How fast does it render? Even if it isn't fast enough for games, I could see it being used for neat splash screens.
Good work!

I think that no one uses it because it is slow. splash screens are usualy just a picture making using a rendering engine instead a big waste of size and speed.

That's INCREDIBLE!

What's with the version number? Is there a software limitation to 5 digits?

Heh, that was my response too. ^_^

Yes, it seems there is no basic pattern as how to he versions his stuff.

Nope, no 5 digit limit. The versioning scheme is just a reflection of my übercoolness.

Obscurity in version numbering all the way! Eff yeah!

-W-

I shall release all of my programs with version number 3.141592653.
Oh no! I think I just started a pi war! EVERYBODY DUCK!!!!!! (this could escalate quickly)

That last digit should be a 4, unless you're going to add more after it (should always round if you're not going to print the whole thing, NEVER just truncate).

If you round it, the next version 3.1415926535 won't have a higher number, so no one will update. :(

After that you could have version 3.14159265358979323 84626433832795028 8419716939937505138.

My school truncates our GPA. A 3.9999999 will never be a 4.00

-W-

Well, you could do version sqrt(2), followed by e, then pi... You'd get a 1.xxxxx, 2.xxxxx, 3.xxxxx kind of thing going on. And screw the rounding. Do several releases of the same version for those dullards who insist on rounding by method XYZ! It works for M$, so why not you?
