Have you had much luck in getting AGA only software to work with this setup. I have heard that if you have a graphics card and OS3.1 that you can run AGA stuff, is this true? Stew
Duane. Thanks for the info. Stew
Colin I don't think that you are trying to sort the letters but count them. The easiest way to do that would be to declear an array with the same number of elements as there are different letters(26 if you are only counting lowercase, 52 if you are counting upper…
Jim Thanks for the info on the book. I will try to track down a copy. Stew
#3D programming book
Message #48051
Does anyone know of a 3D programming book for the Amiga with its examples in C. Stew
Werner Is it not documented in the 2nd edition? After all it is part of the 2.0 ROMs. Stew
Games Smith
Message #47950
Is there anyone out there who has used the Games Smith development system and if so could you let me know what you think of it? Stew
wkc >>Basic Object Oriented Programming System for Intuition. Is this an encapsulation of the intuition library and where can I get it from? Stew
3D graphics and C
Message #47948
Can some one recomend a 3D graphics book which has its examples in C. It would be preferable if it was written for the Amiga but this is not essential. Stew
#BOOPSI?
Message #47937
What does BOOPSI Stand for? I guess OO is Object Orientated but what about the B and PSI? Stew
John The only method that I can think of off the top of my head is to use a "Hash table". There is a bit of an overhead in setting up the table, but once its set up it is very very fast. It works best if you are doing…
John The search method you are refering to is know as a binary search. If you let me know what you are trying to do I may be able to help. I missed the start of this thread. Stew
Anthony re: Drive problem It does sound like that drive may be DEAD! Stew
I have only seen wax-transfer a few times but from what I remember it is about the same a ink jet. The primera will also do dye sub prints which are about as good as it gets, the only down side here is they cost a few dollars a print.…
Diego I have programed with C on the Amiga but only OS1.3 stuff. If you need some help getting started I MAY be able to help some. Stew
I will give it ago if you want but I warn you don't expect to much. I know some people who are good a graphics and I will see if they want to help out at all. I am will be away from the 6th of september until the 28th…
Making a game require AGA is OK but if you don't hit the hardware directly it should also run on an A4000 and any other machine that has OS3.1 and a graphics card (most cards that is not all). This would mean people like me (when I upgrade to OS3.1)…
I can draw in 265 colours as I have a GVP spectrum card. But I don't know if my graphics would be upto the standard that you require. Stew
Carlo I don't think you are mad. Why to you want it to only work on an A1200? I can understand the HD only, you can make a game alot more usable if it is running from a HD. If you write it following the guides in the RKM than…
I have imported Coral files into my Amiga in a round about way. You require a PC with Coral draw and you use Coral to export its image in EPS or whatever format you want. Compress it using pkzip (or some other program that is available on the amiga) copy…
The problem that you may be having is that even though you are printing a 24 bit image the resolution of it is quite low about 75 dpi on a standard Amiga, where as the Primera-Pro will print at 600*300 dpi. I have seen the same thing on a PC.…
The RKM would explain how to communicate through the serial port, but I don't think it will be specific to games. If you find and docs relating the above to games I would like it if you could let me know. Stew
upgrade 3000 O.S.?
Message #47640
To upgrade your A3000 to OS3.1 you need to buy OS3.1 from your supplier and follow the enclosed instructions. It requires replacing the 2 roms and a handfull of disks. Stew
>>Depending on what you mean by "theory", the RKM's a good source. They >>have a lot of examples and also tell you the why's and where's. >>As far as I know, the RKM's are still available in your local book >>store. >>Frank Thanks for the info Frank. Sorry I didn't…
Doug I don't know where you would get it in the US but here in Australia you can get it from any Amiga dealer. Give one a call in the states they will more than likely have one. Stew
WB3.1 if compatible with the 3000, just make sure that you ask for the 3000 version. WB3.1 is a bit expensive and doen't offer a great deal over 2.1, it is nothing like difference between 2.X to 1.X. Stew
Jim Thanks for the name of the graphics book. Stew
Phillip You woulding happen to know the name of that amiga 3d graphics book would you? I would like to get a hold of it. At the moment I have to book on 3D graphics but it isn't amiga specific.
Alex I don't know if the price has been reduced but I payed A$350 (about $275 us) about 2 weeks ago. I think that the price was about that before they droped support. Stew
Thanks for the help with the Zip chips. I will give them a call. Stew
#Memory
Message #45431
Does anyone know where I can get Static column Zip memory for an Amiga 3000 in Australia. If you don't know of a supplier in OZ a supplier overseas who can sell to overseas customers will do. Thanks Stew
