I miss the excitement


I miss the excitement

Postby Matt Keys » Oct 7, 2001 @ 5:01pm

I was just looking at some of the old news on the PocketQuake page. I was reading about fixed point this and that, and how we gained .2FPS!!!! I miss all of that excitement, new versions comming out every month, a mod every week. It was great, I want it back:) I realize that Dan does have other things to do, and that he has already done so much. But what about the rest of you developers(besides Brian O) Can you other developers do some fixed point conversion? I see people with a great deal of knowledge on this board everyday, one of you must have some free time on your hands? BTW, this post started off as a nostalgic post, but ended as a plea for a developer:)

I remember it too, only I wasn't under the name rob at that time, and I didn't post much anyways.  I was actually told that I sould edit my registry by "moose" I think, and that would get PQ to work on my 720.  Ha, how nieve everyone was back then.  Fixed point math would be cool, but you really need all of the devices to test it out.  Tha's not the real problem though, the real problem is that it involves rewriting so much of the code in asm, and in a fixed point form that it would take an extreamly long time.  BTW, I'd do it, but I'm now starting a Wolf720 port.
