Yeah, if you need any sot of buffer, and can’t do it on the fly, it might be tough on the Arduino platform. A lot of the video game hardware in the late 70’s/early 80’s didn’t have a buffer to “draw” into. The Atari 2600 had (I think) 128 bytes of ram, to draw the screen, developers had to time their code to be in sync with the electron beam raster to draw! There is a project on the web somewhere where a guy made a video game, with VGA output, sounds and game controller input on an AVR chip, a truly impressive feat.

This happens even if I set my image space to 10x10x10, so I'm guessing it's out of space on just code. I'll have to get it working on a Beaglebone Black and use the PRU to run the DACs. There's probably some way to get it done. I know the game Elite had very simple 3D graphics with backface culling and hidden line removal, and I know there was a c port of it. -- "The theater of noise is proof of our potential." |\ | (¯ \/ |¯\ |V| |\ ¯|¯ |¯) | \/ | | | |¯\ (¯ /¯ /\ |V| |-||_ (_ /\ |_/ @| | |-| | | \ | /\ |^| | |_/ (_ . \_ \/ | | You won't find me on Facebook. _______________________________________________ Triangle, NC Embedded Computing mailing list To post message: [email protected] List info: http://mail.triembed.org/mailman/listinfo/triembed_triembed.org TriEmbed web site: http://TriEmbed.org To unsubscribe, click link and send a blank message: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe |
