I am not very long reading the net because I had just after the summer holiday the chance the read the net. I was very glad that the acorn machines ( esp. the Archimedes ) has now there own news group. ( Great, Great ). mathew@mantis.UUCP (mathew) writes: > I suggest that all readers of comp.sys.acorn who WOULD post binaries instead > post a message saying "I would have posted <program name> in the binaries > group". That way we'll quickly get an idea as to whether the demand's there. I am busy with some programs, which I would post when I finish them. I would post them into comp.binaries.acorn if it exists, but I understand the if there are not enough binaries posted to c.b.a. then it has no use. So please tell if you working on something. I think there are enough guys around who program on acorn machines. ( Yes BBC, Masters and electrons too ). My own work includes : Still working on it ( Oh, If I just had more time ... ) Core Wars - A multitasking implementation of the A.K. Dewdney idea. X scheme - Port of Object oriented scheme. OFF -> Rayshade - A translator for OFF files to Rayshade files ( for the raytracer ) NFF -> Rayshade - A translator for NFF files to Rayshade files ( for the raytracer ) Rayshade raytracer - A port of the PD rayshade ray tracer. ( Finished a non-RISC OS port - still thinking of a RISC OS version ). I have just read : ra2@doc.ic.ac.uk ( Roger C. Attrill ) writes : >Have I seen Rayshade??? It *IS* Rayshade. A machine code re-write to be >precise and *far* better than the PD version. I have used the C code, so I think your version is faster and better then my version. Will your version be posted ( or maybe put on newcastle ) ? I stop working on my version and concentrate on the translators, X scheme and Core Wars ( My favorit at the moment ). I am very curious about the new !Mandy ( I have an interest in Ray tracing and Fractals ). Maybe it is possible to put it on newcastle or on tolsun.oulu.fi ??? I hope so. Just telling everybody were I am working on. ( Let everybody do so, so we could see what is going on in the programming world for acorn machines ) Angelo email : angelo@phoibos.cs.kun.nl ps. Roger, Is your version of rayshade 100% compitable with the PD version ? I like to make the translators so that they work with the Rayshade version which will be published. ( It will, will it ??? ). May you could send me your version ?? I hope so, because I am not sure that I have net access after January. ( I am doing my practical training here, at Nijmegen. ) I have some scripts for rayshade ( & pictures ), maybe your interested ? pss. I have lots of Sound Tracker Modules ( which works fine with !Player & !Tracker ). If someone wants a list email me.( No ... don't be afraid, I will not post them ). If someone else has some, please email me too.
