Not Stellar 7 is now available on comp.binaries.apple2, tybalt.caltech.edu, and [avalanche|tornado|headcrash].berkeley.edu. It's the successor to Not Modulae, which is also available on the archive sites mentioned above. Briefly, it's a //gs-only demo similar to the classic Apple II game "Stellar 7". ----- In other news, Not Modulae keeps getting faster: Times for different versions of Not Modulae (latest released was v2.0): Shape v1.0 v2.0 v2.1 (still under development) Cube 13.20 14.92 17.32 Bfr cube 13.57 14.00 16.12 2 cubes 9.76 10.60 12.18 Spaceship 13.91 15.03 18.75 Vibro-plane 10.90 11.99 14.45 A-team van 6.60 7.17 7.94 Cobra Mk III 10.89 10.94 12.76 Krait 12.91 13.25 15.75 Tunnel 5.08 5.24 5.71 (times are in frames/sec, with time measured in ticks for around 15 seconds) I may hack the divide routine to get some extra speed for the bigger shapes... it's not Modulae, but it's getting damn close for the smaller shapes. Their Eiffel Tower still blows my mind though. ----- The Alpha release of Arc3D is almost ready. I need to finish the documentation for it, and fix up some of the sample source code. Other than that, it's about ready to go. In the mean time, please check out NS7 and tell me what you think. -- fadden@cory.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden) ..!ucbvax!cory!fadden fadden@hermes.berkeley.edu (when cory throws up)
