New views from Lambda version 0.13.x - See the new background planets and lensflare routines in action! Click here!

Current Development

Lambda 0.14.x is in development with selected routines being re-coded in amiga asm (tests show 50-120% speed increases in routines coded in assembly compared to their C counterparts).

Lambda is now entirely dependant on an FPU being present. Have a look at the Info/Data section for the new requirements

Alas, due to the slug like speed of the 68882 FPU commonly associated with 030 processors, you may find Lambda unbearably slow on your machine - time to upgrade :)

Also Macross' information and email have been added to Command Crew and Hailing Frequencies respectively.

New Link!

Another link to this site can be found at The Amiga Web Directory. Every site that I have mentioned in the news section that has a link to this site will have their own links in the Hyper-Galactic links section when it comes on-line.

Site Update

Finally completed the Low Bandwidth/No Frames Version of Lambda Sector. Just follow the link at the welcoming page or click here!

No more pulling your hair out waiting for those anim gifs to loads :P

The results of the FPU Poll confirm that Lambda will be FPU only. 80% of the game engine has already been converted to Floating Point math. Speed tests are encouraging.

Also to test the portability of the code Lambda has been re-compiled onto the PC - 114fps on a PII-233Mhz!!!. This does not mean that there will be a PC version of Lambda, it is just an exercise.
