Thanks, I appreciate it!

Can someone reupload this please?

Thanks!

I think that doing two distance checks (and a IF condition test) is slower than only one check.

Actually, that's not true. If I remove the first distance check, it slows down. Sqr and SQRT are slow compared to simple addition and subtraction. It would be faster if the objects were always ...

Hey guys. In one of my programs, there are 2d circles which represent 'figures' in the world which need to do accurate collision tests with each other. Because of the nature of the program, I can't just use simple bounding boxes, I need to do distance calculations since they're all circles and the ...

Thanks, I will take another look. What I'm looking for is a terrain system which is capable of having a view distance of many kilometers, while being memory/GPU/CPU efficient.

Very nice.


I noticed a problem though, the examples stay running in the background when you close the window.

What I would love to see in a 3d engine is a system for handling large terrain. Like a chunked LOD system. I know it's a lot of work though.

I think the biggest issue here is the fact that they weren't physically hosting warez of any kind. They are essentially an IP repository. Last I checked, it's not illegal to write on your webpage "OMG TWILIGHT DVD QUALITY!!!1!", unless you also offer the movie for download, which piratebay does not ...

Can you be a little more specific?

Does this help?

Size = FileSize(filename)
If Size > 0
*buffer = AllocateMemory(Size)
If ReadFile(0,filename)
ReadData(0,*buffer,Size)
CloseFile(0)
EndIf
EndIf


I'm curious as to why you have not yet updated to the newest version of purebasic? It has some ...

Does anyone have any code for handling large 3d terrain? I've been looking into various lod and paging algorithms and it hurts my brain lol.

Thanks for this, I also have a few landscape generating procedures lying around for a game I've been making.

Diamond Square algorithm (got from a website):


#MAXPOW = 10
#MAXSZ = ((1<<#MAXPOW)+1)
Global Dim ht.f(#MAXSZ,#MAXSZ)

Procedure.d randf()
ProcedureReturn (Random(20001)-10000)/10000 ...

I normally do something like this:

I love the simplicity. Too many languages over-complicate crap, and I can't stand it. I like being able to just sit down and write a program without having to deal with endless crap in the GUI or having to remember overly-complicated rules. Everything is perfectly intuitive, at least for me.
