Fred,
Right now I'm planning to write some 3D polygon stuff, so I'll be working
mainly with lines. I was concerned about objects getting squished as they
rotated. I think I'll try it in 320×200 first. The aspect ratio is 1.2:1, so
I think I'll take the x value, right shift it two bits, and add it to the
original. This, of course is 1.25:1. What I think I'll do is project my
vertices to a 256×200 screen, stretch out the x's (256 + 64 = 320 <g>), and
then call my 320×200 routines for lines, fills, etc. I'll write this so it'll
port over to your XUNIT as painless as possible.
BTW, don't expect this tomorrow <g> I'm still sketching out the data
structs, etc. to make the coding as easy as possible the first time
around. If you (or anyone) else wants a preview copy e-mail me, just
don't hold your breathe waiting <g>.
