Axe Questions/Routines *Come here!*

[KermMartian]

Let me add a note that SourceCoder will churn out hex for sprites for you given images of the sprites that you want converted:

Another option is Merthsoft's excellent Tokens program.

Can you edit 16x16 sprites with Tokens? And where can I download it from?

Ok I have another question. Does Axe have support for CalcNet or even gCn and vice versa?

[souvik1997]

Axe doesn't have support for CALCnet. Some people have tried to make CALCnet axioms for Axe, but none have been completed yet. Also, any program that uses CALCnet will work over gCn as well, since it's completely transparent to the calculators. However, programs like Gossamer and Chat! which use services provided by computer programs won't be able to use those services over CALCnet.

i have a and using axe v1.1.2 and would like to write a ray casting engine similar to that of the FAT Engine for the TI-89 calculatorss

at this stage it is just a concept (i haven't written any cod yet) but i'm having some trouble understanding some of the concepts of the ray casting engine

mainly the trig is the issue but any 's would be appreciated

really any help anyone could provide would be amazing

Welcome to Cemetech, j-man. Would you care to Introduce Yourself when you have a chance? I don't think that Axe would be the proper language to use for this personally; I think ASM would be better. For trigonometry, some sort of LUT method would be by far the fastest option. I have some LUT-based code for sin/cos in z80 ASM from my work on Obliterate 1.0, which I'd be happy to share if you need.

i have never been to proficient with even learning ASM
and i know much of the AXE language simply because it is much easyer to learn
if you have some idea to help me learn ASM i am open to any and all suggestions

And as far as I know, those raycasting engine(s) use inline ASM for some of the core math. J-man: I recommend using the Doors CS SDK for your assembling needs. For an emulator, try PindurTI, WabbitEmu, or the online TI-83+ emulator jsTIfied. As far as tutorials go, I think that ASM in 28 Days is the best we have at the moment. I don't think you should psyche yourself out and think that ASM is that hard, because it's really not. It's only hard if you make it hard for yourself.

Kerm, this definitely is not true. I think you underestimate Axe, it is capable to do all core math itself. However, of course the raycaster gets a lot faster with inline ASM.

[KermMartian]

[aeTIos]

Ok, that's a point you have. Axe is much more "correct tool for the job" when it's about 2d games.



but let us not discuss whether or not Axe is capable to do things and keep this thread for Axe questions ^^

There used to be a Raycaster Axiom in the works by Runer112 that ran much faster than the raycaster he made in Axe (that one ran at about 6 FPS and was not even full screen, if I remember correctly), but I don't remember what happened to it.

Yeah true, should bug him about it sometimes.

[blue_bear_94]

Is dynamic memory allocation implemented in Axe (either built-in or in an Axiom)?
