NAME
limbo - fast 2D/3D fractal image compression
AMIGA SPECIFICATIONS
See the 'limbo.readme' for general information,
also 'amiga.readme' for Amiga port information.
The Limbo program is currently only on a research or
experimental state!
A test with the 2d encoder run on the 'lennasmall' image
with a 68040-25/604-200 combo:
o Encoding time : 1 [sec]
Well, that should say enough!
The Limbo encoder is very demanding for the hardware in
terms of computing power and graphics capabilities.
So it's quite ideal for use with powerUP (TM) boards.
Note: My first upload had a buggy exeutable, but as i reuploaded
about an our later, the buggy one should not have appeared anywhere.
Also note: The PPMPrev Executable (where i don't have the Source)
needs LOT of stack or it crashes your machine. To be on the sure
side i always use 300000.
Another note: I changed the code so that the path of a image can
be completely specified and orggfx/fccode/cmpgfx directories
are no longer needed. It might produce some intermedia files on
your harddrive, though :)
PORT
I've just removed the ppc.library binaries and recompiled
(after small adjustments) with StormC, for example fixing
a "illegal Typeconversion" in one of the files.
I found the file-handling a bit annoying, so i changed the
thing, so that a complete path can be used.
This program needs WarpOS to run.
The 'ppmprev' tools is still 68k.
Note that i blew the job with the first upload of the thing,
but i did the fix and reupload as fast that i hope the first upload did
not show up anywhere :)
THANKS
Thanks to Carsten Frigaard for the initial Amiga port.
