Designing a NES themed game for Blitz3rd August 2009
If you have Blitz3D, you can output the scene to a texture (for any size you need), then draw that to the screen as a sprite/quad (for any resolution you want). |

timing problem24th February 2009
Well, I guess that's because 1000 / 30 = 33.3 :)E.g. Frames, ticks, seconds, FPS (Hz), etc. Ah, to make the 2nd program more precise, try change this: [code] If (MilliSecs()-TIME)>=1000 TIME=MilliSecs():FT#=1.0 EndIf [/code] Into this: [code] D*snip* |

Following rules19th February 2009
For some reason people like posting a lot of off-topic stuff in threads (Image.gif) I don't know whether I should follow the trend, completely ignore the off-topic post in the middle of a thread, or send PMs instead. I guess I will do a little of both *snip* |

Yes, that's the beauty of examples 3a, 3b and 4 (Image.gif) Enjoy ;) Well, I have some more tutorials and stuff on my Blitz website: Linky I think Decls (userlib declarations) are only available in later versions of Blitz3D and BlitzPlus. Maybe also*snip* |

Another example, but simple, using a Blitz Timer.Also based on the timer itself. The problem here is that the code will wait long times, which is time that could be spent on something else :P This is due to WaitTimer, which simply sits and waits. But,*snip* |

Basically the same as example 3, but without any Timers, e.g. everything manually, so you can see what happens 'behind the scenes'.Using maths to find the number of frames, for maximum precision, though more CPU intensive, due to floating point division.*snip* |

Same as example 3a (high precision), but using Delta timing.Only the line with TimerDelta is altered. Example 3b [code] Include "TimerSystem 4b.BB" ; Sychronize time before creating timers MilliSecs = MilliSecs() ; Create a timer at number of FPS *snip* |

High precision example, using a timer based on seconds.More CPU intensive though, due to the floating point division (or multiplication, in next example). See example 3b for same as this, but using Delta timing (only 1 line is changed!) :) Example 3a *snip* |

timing problem16th February 2009
Same as before, but using a higher precision (x10).Note that examples 1 and 2 are very inprecise because they are not directly depending on seconds. See next example for a better approach. The reason why this is inprecise is because 1000 / 30 (or 300) *snip* |

Modified your code (from email) to use a single timer at predefined interval.Next example shows the precision. Example 1 [code] Include "TimerSystem 4b.BB" SetBuffer BackBuffer() ; Sychronize time before creating timers MilliSecs = MilliSecs() ; C*snip* |

As you referred to my Timer System in email, I'll give some examples with and without my Timer System :)Btw, I've updated my Timer System here at SoCoder to the latest version, with some new handy functions :) Linky to code snippet Direct copy/paste: *snip* |

Well, as MilliSecs returns a value in milliseconds, the maximum precision is milliseconds.But you can use any interpolation ('cut up') value which can make it seem as if the precision is higher :) Below I'll post the stuff I was going to email to you :)*snip* |

Command and Conquer Save Game Backups...16th February 2009
In C&C1 (on PC in 1994) each savegame is a single file with the format "SAVEGAME.???" which is simply sequential starting at "000".I usually just extract them from a backup savegame archive straight into the game folder :) (Heck, I'm still listening to *snip* |

Program For Peace14th August 2008
I've found that everywhere there's no war, there's peace.And even in those places where there is war, there's peace amongst the majority of places and people. So I believe it's not even needed to achieve world peace, as it's already here! (Image.gif) |

adnormal program termination on End?3rd August 2008

Cool, yeah..I've added the option to my actionlist (so I don't forget) to try and see how it will work in practice to turn a full-fledged project into a CampFire :) The current CampFires are quite small, so I'm curious what will happen with something*snip* |
