My homage to the SCI-FI god that is George Lucas! Source code to follow!!! - still very flakey - (just watch the embedded logo!) Enjoy. (Let me know if you have issues running) - PPL is soo fast I had to restrict the loop with a 'delay(40)' command!  Anyway - I'm proud of it so far!

Wow, I cannot wait to see the source code for this. Regards, Alain Deschenes President and programmer ArianeSoft Inc. (http://www.arianesoft.ca) | ||

| Registered Member #671 Joined: Tue Sep 25 2007, 12:22pmPosts: 400 | I thought it was slow enough as it is. PPL is so quick I have had to use the delay function to slow it down!! If I slow it down any more it might stop! lmao. I have an issue with it stretching the scroller as it reaches infinity, so that is the first thing I will need to sort before slowing anything down. It is another fine example of how PPL handles surfaces. Text is generated on a large surface in real time from the .TXT file. It is then processed with the perspective algorithm, then it is coloured depending on the distance from the edge of the screen, then it is integrated with the background, then it is displayed on the screen. All that takes place so quick with out any delays the whole scroller is gone in 2 seconds! rofl!!!! Editor of \'Voice of the PPL\' the newsletter for the PPL by the PPL!

I have now learned quite a bit about how to use them and I think others would benefit from a decent surfaces example. This source code will be included and tutorial will be based around the SW-Demo.

We just need to come up with a good way to get them into the hands of potential users. Eric Pankoke Founder Point Of Light Software http://www.polsoftware.com/ | ||

I will look around for a tool that could give us a way to easily add demos to a database with screenshots and link to source code and binary files.

Once more people realise this the smartphone and PPC world will hopefully have loads of extra software releases! Glad you like the stuff so far!

| Registered Member #671 Joined: Tue Sep 25 2007, 12:22pmPosts: 400 | As i've been away from PPL for a few days (Lots to do at work) and done no development work, I thought I would compile the scroller for a WM5 device as another test. Things to note. 1. You need all the support files from the PC version in the same folder on your device 2. I have tested this on an IPAQ HP2200 WM2003 device and it runs fine (At 400mhz) 3. I have run this on my OMAP CPU smart phone and it runs like a stuffed turkey (At 195mhz) - and then crashes! You have been warned! Don't forget source code will be included in the next surfaces tutorial in a coming newsletter!
