Will need two things: <ol><li>to review <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL">OpenGL</a></li> <li>inspiration</li></ol> I was in a bookstore this afternoon after work and I picked up an OpenGL book. The hard bit will be the inspiration. My last demo was inspired by the number <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/e_(mathematical_constant)">e</a>^{[<a href="#20060922.18241">1</a>]}</i>.</p> <p>Who wants to be in charge of sound effects and music?</p> <p>The other thing I thought about buying in the bookstore was a Mandarin/English dictionary. I decided to wait for now. I've obviously become interested in 中文^{[<a href="#20060922.18242">2</a>]}, but I have a few 中文 resources that I should finish with before buying new stuff. It could be a passing interest after all.</p> <br/><br/><hr width="20%" align="left"/> <ol> <li><a name="20060922.18241"></a>I'm a dork.</li> <li><a name="20060922.18242"></a>Chinese language</li> </ol> urn:wd:wdlabs.com:atom1:twilight:20041108.2025 2004-11-09T01:25:00 2004-11-09T01:25:00 2004-11-09T01:25:00 I have to say... things are going really well for me at the moment. I can't exactly say why... but they are very good. <BR><BR> <CENTER> <TABLE > <TR><TD><A HREF=http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/media/041108/intensity.html><IMG SRC=http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/media/041108/intensity.jpg BORDER=0 ></A></TD></TR> <TR><TH><A HREF=http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/media/041108/intensity.html>Final Intensity</A></TH></TR> </TABLE> </CENTER> Since <A HREF=http://www.wdlabs.com/gnr/project/intensity/>my demo (Final Intensity)</A> runs accelerated on the fast graphics card in my dual dual PIII (dual processor, dual head... <A HREF=http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/041009.1540.epl>click here for pictures</A>), I was wondering what would happen if I moved the window to the monitor being driven by the slower (but still 3d accelerated) graphics card. When the window is half on one side and half on the other, the half on the slower card freezes and the half on the fast side keeps going. So if you slowly edge the window over to the slow side, you get this weird graphic of my demo as a function of time as you go from left to right.
