Sorry for the delay in replying. I haven't done much else
since I figured out how to use AniPro/POCO to play with Chaos and
Galaxies.
<to create your own POE's you need a C-Compiler like METAWARE HIGH C
and the PHARLAP DOS EXTENDER/LINKER.>
You talked me into it! But the price is a shocker! I called
Pharlap today to order the linker and found that it is part of a
$500 SDK that includes a C compiler. I already have the Watcom C
compiler (bought it to try my hand at IPAS routines, but never got to
it).
Is there a cheaper way to get all I need (without paying for
another C-compiler)?. Whatever I get should work for IPAS also.
The galaxy stuff might be headed that way.
<I am not the man for math problems in galaxies>
I finally took the time to figure it out, and I have it all
working now.
<If you like, and I have some time, I can compile the time intensive
routines of your POCO into a POE.>
Thanks. I may take you up on the offer.
But I have a problem. I modify many parameters like galaxy/star
positions, velocity, colors, etc. by simply editing the POCO code.
If I compile the code, I would need an alternate way to edit
parameter values. POCO only seems to provide a way for the user to
enter one value at a time. Any thoughts?
