Here’s a proof of concept for a render engine. It’s based on predefined tiles, 64x64 pixels and a script for generating a room. Including, some simple animation. What you see is in real time on a Power Macintosh G3.

Eric's Edge - DOScember Toshiba Satellite T1910 Restoration
มุมมอง 145หลายเดือนก่อน
I picked up this Toshiba Satellite T1910 at #VCFMW last September to do some #DOS programming for #DOScember. I have a soft spot for 486 computers. At my prime, a 486 100MHz machine was my instrument of choice. There were a couple of problems with this laptop. It had a bad power circuit board that I had to recap and the belt on the floppy drive was shot. I had to give up on the floppy drive, an...

You got mail from a scammer :)
i almost never forget to take melatonin, but still have problems sleeping lol i take one immediate acting one and another that’s like slowly released later in the night
@@ellyse7777 so far the long acting 3mg has been working for me.
This is amazing! For what it's worth: I wonder if my xDraw XCMD could speed this up. One version used an undocumented callback to allow you to paint onto the card. But it is quite impressive what you can do with HyperCard (though yes, there is a lot of overhead to make it feel simple to users).
One of the issues I’m running into is that I can’t script selection with the lasso tool. It does not respond to the drag command. This requires using the transparent option to prevent blanking out the rectangular selection when pasting. It works, but you get a lot of bleed through with overlapping and adjacent voxels. Would the XCMD avoid that problem?
I just figured it out. choose lasso tool doMenu “Select All” doMenu “Select”
@@EricsEdgeVideos There's also a shortcut where, if you click the black outline of an object with the command key held down, it will select the entire contents of the outline.
@ yep. Unfortunately, I can’t be absolutely sure where or even if each image has a black line.
can you draw the tiles into an off screen buffer and then draw that buffer to screen so it draws it in one go?
@@nil0bject in native HyperCard, you can lock the screen so that it’s using a buffer. This is happening with each cell, but not the outer loop. So, yes. This is a “debugging” version so I can see what’s going on if I single step through the code. Even with that, it will be too slow for real time execution. I’ll probably have a game compiler phase as part of the editor. Each location will reside on a separate card for actual gameplay.
@@nil0bjectAlso, at 1 am I had to stop coding and I still wanted to post.
@@EricsEdgeVideos precompiling the cards is a nice solution. obviously all subscibed appreciate you posting updates. Happy New Year Eric!
I gave locking the screen for the entire render. Slight improvement. I’ll go with a precompile approach.
Love the CF slot in the front!
Nice! A solid little programming laptop!
special comfort when a machine is dedicated to one type of task and is impervious to internet borne distractions
@@1BitFeverDreams I do have a wireless lan PCMCIA that might work with it. A future project.
Nice lil machine!
Another toshiba fan! I have been doing a bunch of those lately. Good machines
Looking great! I can't wait to give it a go once it's ready, and learn some new HyperCard tricks to add to my skillset!
Enjoyed Eric nice little laptop
Code code code!
I never realized how similar Hypertalk and Applescript are.
@@ifrit05 AppleScript was developed soon after HyperTalk. In fact, you can use AppleScript as the HyperCard script language. You lose some things like interactive debugging if you do.
I see you use a function ReplaceText frequently. If that is written in Hypertalk and you are looking for XFCNs that could speed that up there is XFCN Substitute in the AppleOrder HyperCard Tour stack which only works with single character replacements, and the Replace XFCN in the Dartmouth XCMD's stack which handles multi-character string replacement.
It, as well as some other code is used frequently. I do plan on moving it to an existing XFCN that is available. I’m also working on a replacement for the slow text based “database” I’m using. I have another video where I show off a tiny SQL engine, written in HyperTalk, and compiled using CompileIt. I’m also working on a small regular expression parser XCMD. These will be in my v-next release once the current game is “finished”.

I am from India. The production of this belt is completely stopped in our country and I don't have any access to. So I opened the DVD player and placed a rubber band instead. It's working normally. So is that ok
Hi Eric, I discovered your channel recently and immediately signed up. I am Italian and have always been in love with Hypercard (I am waiting for an se/30 after owning a classic II in 1992). Two questions: How much faster is a stack on emulator compared to a true se/30, with a good endowment of RAM, new ROM and BLUESCSI v. 2 ? Have you ever seen around a project in which you replaced the CRT 9 " with an LCD, integrated in the same case ? Thank you very much. S.
Hello! Thank you for subscribing! I find emulation to run large HyperCard stacks faster than any of the 68k Macs, including an SE/30. The emulation speed is closer to a PowerPC like a G3. I haven’t run any comparison tests, my impression is just anecdotal at best. My friend Mac84 recently completed a project replacing the CRT for his SE/30 with an LCD. He has a recent video on that project. I can also recommend Ron’s (RonsCompVids) solution for managing power and video conversion to DVI compatible HDMI and/or VGA.
@@EricsEdgeVideos 👍👍👍👍👋
That looks like it was a good time. Thanks for sharing!
Love the music!
A quick solder reflow on the analog board solved the problem.
Very nice work. I tried my hand at a dungeon crawling game using HyperCard IIGS and also ran into the 32K limitations on scripts. I came up with my own methods of handling that involving hidden objects and passing messages around. I did complete the game and released in a few years ago on Script-Central Special Edition but I was unable to make the code efficient enough for it to be playable on real hardware. It is playable on an emulator though. More recently I decided to convert the 1988 Adventure Construction Kit Macintosh stack by M.J. Dominus to HyperCard IIGS. I've been reworking it significantly because the original stack really only implemented movement and inventory management, which makes for a pretty unplayable adventure. It was also pretty inefficient in its design which would be a more significant problem on a IIGS than a Mac since HCGS tends to run much slower than Macintosh HyperCard.
@@BrendanBellina Awesome! I remember seeing some of your work converting Macintosh stacks to the IIGS. It’s on my long list to get some subset of Adventure! to the IIGS once it’s finished. The code is a mess in its current state. I wrote a SQL engine that just fits under 30k. I intend to rewrite Adventure! to use it.
This song is atrocious
Yep.
Björn has lost his umlaut?
Nice haul! A friend recently revealed to me he still had HC 2.3 in his attic, so in a great surprise I got that one. The HyperStudio cleaner (?) is neat too, what's the story behind that? I remember seeing HyperStudio and being really amazed, then really disappointed when the programming language turned out to be some cryptic LOGO dialect (whose main claim to fame according to the docs was that it would run all TOOT commands as you saved your script).
Solved the mystery with the LaserWriter Pro failing to connect. The logic board and DC Controller both need to be recapped.
Looks good!! I have been trying to RetroBright a couple of things, but every time I put something out, the clouds gather and it rains. Ugh.
You could try ultraviolet lights. Some of my friends get good results that way.
That's looks great. Did you get all sides in the sun? Did the bits inside require sun? What's you mix ratio of peroxide to water? Did you spin it around in the day? Why am I asking so many questions?
@@aa-au I turn it around or over every 4 to 6 hours. The concentration is fairly low. About 9 gallons of water and two bottles of 40% peroxide. I’ll calculate the percentage later when I can look at the bottle size. I usually leave it in the solution for two days.
Nice work retrobrighting!
@@dave4shmups thanks! It’s the fourth case this month.
@@EricsEdgeVideos That’s great!
Nice pickup. At first I thought you ripped right through that Hypercard box with that screwdriver.. but no...
This one part of the 90's I miss from stores
@@1BitFeverDreams I really miss boxed software and manuals.
Awesomeness

I think it requires some recapping. And change that 3.6v battery before it explodes!
