Caballero's drawer

Aha, it looks fine

I hope to have in a short time a version to be able to design your own flag on the fly.

So finally you opted for Ubuntu. I installed my son in his laptop bodhi linux, quite light and pretty.

nah, just running from live cd, checking it out (ubuntu that is)

to keep ON topic, exe ran fine ubuntu 12.04.

Two 3d shapes, a cube and a sphere. You can leave from the planet clicking on it and pressing ESC. You can move the planed dragging it with the left button of the mouse.

Hi Alfonso,

Nice stuff.
We discussed the flag routine, I'm still working on it. ( sorry for the delay )
It will all be done in 2D mode, so no fancy 3D stuff.
Hope to show it soon to you, first finishing my other project ( fast SIMD Matrix transposition building blocks )
Here's a pre release, I still have to finish the shadow and the XY movement code for the final result.

Hi Marinus

You're welcome. It would be nice to see it when you have finished it  , take your time. I'm working now on making a window to design any flag on the fly and save if in a gif. After that I'd like to improve the routines.

wow Caballero,I wonder how did you do it,so it behaved cool strangely on my xp computer?I clicked on 'x' on window and window+black background disappeared and a rotating 3dsphere was still on my desktop,but everything around it was transparent,I was able to switch to other windows also and when I wanted to close it I clicked on the sphere and esc

very nice flag Siekmanski
SIMD matrix blocks?,sounds very interesting
now when being busy with working with graphics,I see a need of support group hierarchy when you need to use complex 3d objects in a game or demo
does that need some recursion algo to go from highest group 3dtransforms to go down to tiny details,to lots of very tiny parts of objects when it explodes

[Siekmanski]

Can't wait to see your new flag design. 

My routine is divided in 2 ways to draw the flags.
1. simple 3 color flags need only 3 pixels in memory.
2. advanced flags will be loaded as color/size reduced png or jpg images and are as small as possible without losing too much detail.

@ daydreamer
Yeah, the pieces flying around due to the explosion need their own world transform matrix per object.

The SIMD matrices are in different small row and column sizes so we can build a very large Matrix Transpose algorithm for all sizes.
I'll post an example routine to time the matrices soon to see how fast the small blocks will be on different computers.
It reminds me of building with LEGO blocks when I was a little kid.

Hello, not finished yet. Here is where I am for now

[zedd151]

Doh!!!
 
I downloaded the .png image.   
 
That's what I get for clicking before reading. I can't wait to see how your little program works.

Hi zedd151.
That's an ID-10T Error. I've made a few myself.

Yeap, always "Abre Los Ojos" , would say Caballero. 

[zedd151]

Abre Los Ojos, would say Caballero. 

Otherwise, Open your friggin' eyes.

Hello, this is a prerelease

[zedd151]

The interface looks okay, but I think it would be easier to use if the user didn't have to click on each 'pixel'. While the left mouse button is down, couldn't we just continue to the next 'pixel' (using the same color) without having to click each individual 'pixel'?
 
Just a thought. Also it would be very hard to make a remblence to the US flag. See my new avatar, I put it up just for this post.   
 
I don't expect you to rewrite your code to my specifications, but just to let you know that one size may not fit all.  But I do like the idea of an automated designer.
