Hi Fred, ue is the best replacement for the U-Umlaut. It's a shame, that Compuserve doesn't support the complete ASCII-Character-set. Blockgraphics and german (or spain) texts look ugly in 7-Bit chars. I hope that they'll fix it sometimes… >> But anyway, we should be discussing Demo stuff. Frame rate. >>…
Hi Dan, nice to hear from you, that also you speak some german… So I don't have to rewrite all my comments if I upload sources. By the way, I'm sure the Beatles never sung in german.. It suppose it was a german (or austrian) Beatles-Rvival-Band. But some days ago…
Hi Erik, I'll take a look at it.. Thank you. Nils
Hi Geoffrey, I'll ask Dreaden and will post his message here.. I'm sure it's not only interesting to me. Cheers, Nils
HI Geoffrey, I'll post my question in the IBM-PRO forum.. There are really assembler-wizzards. I'm sure they know what the A-Flag is… By the way.. At the moment I guess that the flag has something to do with nibble or bcd-arithmetics (maybe a nibble-overrun). Have a nice day, SUB By…
Hi Lee, Gutem Morgen, Yes of cause you can go to the toilet if you find it 🙂 Cheers, Nils
Hi Fred, .. I don't know what the other forum-members are thinking, but I think we have to switch back to english.. otherwise they become upset because they don't know of whom we are talking about (I hope this is more or less readable..). Viele Gruesse an Deine Mutti! Nils…
Hi Chris, I worked on a small polygon engine.. Drawing triangles is fast.. but if you draw two treangles to simulate a 4-n-polygon (4-sided) it's of cause faster to use the 4-n-polygon code.. Why? Simple answer: + | \ | \ This is our triangle.. We have to calculate 3…
Thanks, I'll try to find them with the filefinder. Should be no problem. Regards, NIls
Well, I'll test it on a original Soundblaster Pro II and Soundblaste Pro I tonight.. We'll see if it only crashes on my vanilla-SB's. At the moment I'm more than happy with ST3. Regards, Nils
Hi Geoffrey, Thank you.. But when will the A-Flag be set? The C, Z and O-Flags are easy to use, but what is an Auxilary-Carry? SUBMiSSiVE (what do you think, when you here this handle )
Hi Fred, Graphic Gems sounds interesting..Is it a book? Would you please give me the ISBN-Number, author and publishers? Thanks in advance, Nils
HI Geoffrey, I'm stunned! You speak german… That's nice… I live in Hamburg. Have a nice day, Nils

Sorry! I saw, that ozcis posted two wrong messages into this forum.. Please delete them or forward them as email…. I'll try to find the error… Regards, Nils Pipenbrinck
HI Dan, >> Best of all, it's not a dead program, like ST3.
Hi Geoffrey, Why don't you use Modex? Of cause, drawing the pixels is slower, but you can use the multiple bitplane-writes to speed up the Clear-Page-Mechanism up to 4 times. And you can use tripple-buffering (paging) for flicker-free animation. I think it's worth the approach. By the way, I wouldn't…
#Assembler: The A-Flag
Message #851
Hi folks, I just discovered the A-flag.. but don't have a cpu-reference and don't know when the A-flag is set or reset. If you know anything about this mystery flag please reply. Maybe I can speed up a lot of my algorithms… SUBMiSSiVE
Hi Fred, If you set the pixels one after another I don't need your help.. I'll rewrite my code to use vertical lines.. It's no problem because I think I have a well-commented sourcecode… By the way, I've done a nice plasma-program. I'll upload it into the lib today or…
Hi Jim, I'll make a test if it's faster in modex or mode 13h. Thank you for your hints. Nils
Best Offline-Reader Soft
Message #419
Hi! I know that this message is a little bit off-topic, but I want to change my offline-reader… At the moment I use Navcis S.E 1.2 If you really like your reader, please send me a mail why you like it and where to get it. Regards, Nils
Hi Jim, You're right.. at the moment I have two array for each scanline containing the end- and the startpoint of a polygon.. It was fast to draw such polys in mode $13. I'm not sure.. If I calcualte the vertical lines I miss the quadrouble speed (enabling the 4…
Hi Fred again (I think we should start a new thread…. Demo-Music or Music-Stuff or something like this). >> So, you're doing the music part of this, huh? What does your software support? Just GUS? Soundblasters? > I'm a musician too, but so far I've been doing VGA-FX and leaving…
Hi Fred, >> "Greetings to the LAME turkey who just ripped my code and stuck his name on it. Hope you feel like a REAL programmer now."
Hi Brian, That's the reason why I'm so happy beeing a member of the Demo-Team… Here I can upload my sources and I know who's able to download it. Regards, Nils By the way, I'm very busy finishing my composing-software.. At the moment I'm writing music-code, no special vga-fx…
Hi Fred, I can understand your POV, but if I have worked two or more month on a great assembly-routine I would like to know who can download it… I hate computer-kids who download great sources and replaces the 'written-by' or 'copyright by' – statement. Have a nice day, Nils
