| MATRICKS: 3D graphics package; sources, docs, binaries, demo |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
The distributions are as follows:
SOURCES: BINARIES:
3demo.c 3demo.prg
drawlin.asm 3dlib.bin
gemfuncs.c matricks.doc
makefile readme.doc
mat.c
matricks.doc
matricks.h
mxops.asm
object.c
readme.doc
SOURCES are planned to go to comp.sources.misc because there's a general
interest for the stuff.
BINARIES are planned to go to comp.binaries.atari.st; they are too specific
to run on other hardware than Atari ST's.
A few remarks conceirning the demo program and library:
1) Because clipping is not yet implemented, images can get distorted near
an edge. This is due to the projection function, that truncates all
coordinates that are too big to fit on the screen. Clipping will be
implemented in the next release; no truncation will be needed anymore.
2) For high resolution monitors the first demo only uses part of the screen.
Since I don't own one, a friend had to tell me (thanks, Frans!). Because
I don't consider it too important, it isn't fixed yet (next release?).
3) A remark about the library: all parameters of all functions are of size
4; this is due to the Lattice parameter passing mechanism. This can cause
problems when using them from other compilers (e.g. when passing shorts).
Suggestions: explicit casts to long, or using an interface library, or
creating your own library using the sources (see the makefile).
Enjoy!
Leo.
