Amiga 500: New blitter c2p routine implemented. Need help to speedtest |
| category: general |
|
|
|
I wish Pouet had more respect for code. :) |
|
|
|
I actually have timing = script somewhere. ;) |
|
|
|
Well I guess most people have written such tiny demosystems, they surprisingly give lots of control :) |
|
|
|
Do I get this right? You are basically coding a VGA emulator to run all your effects on an A500? Isnt that somewhat wasteful of resources? |
|
|
|
Emulating VGA and showing effects at the same time! ONLY AMIGA MAKES IT POSSIBLE!! |
|
|
|
To be this good would take Sega ageS! ;p |
|
|
|
Sealthz: due to the bitplane based video modes of the Amiga ( and the Atari ), some effects are a PITA to render. Doing a c2p is often the only way to get a descent framerate. |
|
|
|
p01: Chunky effects on Amiga is kind of silly though, but hey - isn't making demos silly in the first place? :) |
|
|
|
So the native amiga modes are useless? Are you insinuating that the amiga is inherently inferior to a boring PC? |
|
|
|
Not useless, just mostly unused. That's a different thing. :) |
|
|
|
bitplane modes are a blast for flat 3D and similar effect. You can write 16px ( or even 32px ) in one instruction. |
|
|
|
you have to understand that when the amiga HW was invented it was ~1983, realtime texture mapping was out of question, and the planar modes were really useful for flat polys. They save even memory bandwidth, cpu power, and makes your screen highly scalable. |
|
|
Looks like there won't be a production from me on Breakpoint afterall. I have to go to Cambodia on a Visa-run And I probobly end up on a beach drinking lao-kao with beatiful women. he-he. \
Demo for assembly (I hope.)
|
|
|
you could also make a visa run to germany, and end up drinking beer in the garden with skilled demosceners...
...hmm let me think...
...have lots of fun in cambodia! :P |
|
|
Ok, I understand. So all my amiga friends who tried to sell my the amigas supremacy in multimedia at the beginning of the 90ies were still wrong.
|
|
|
|
no. |
|
|
No amiga 500 release on BP :(
|
|
|
Damn time is running fast.
Looks like there wont be an assembly prod. by me for assembly. Maybe a THX tune and a rotating object ;D |
|
|
|
So, the this a500 demo will be at assembly 2007 or... ? :) |
|
|
|
It's just bullshit :) Like the rest of the Amigaaaa scene. |
|
|
|
Those who think the Amiga scene is bullshit should of course release something for Amiga that impresses Amiga coders. I mean, how hard can it be? ;) |
