I'd already read it
And I think fractals a wonderful, but couldn't program one. Didn't draw anything, and got a double overflow after some time...
Start with Screen 12 stuff: that's how I started, long before trying anything else. Screen 12 has equal scales on x and y, an allows focusing on the logics.
D/L Apollo12.bas from the article at QB Cult Magazine: when you're through with that, then try to plug a true colour module on it.
But don't try to skip steps... it took me one year and a half to digest all that stuff, knowing maths were not an issue for me.
wow. That code looks awesome. I'll take a good look at it at home. However, I like maths very much and I think I will be able to see what you're doing on some code pieces.
Thanks!
cant wait for that pic to be posted :bounce:
I hope to get most of the 100 remaining lines during the night...
If I launch the prog at 7:30 PM when I arrive home, I can let the machine work until 7:30AM when I go to work. That's 12 hours, so 72 lines.
So that will be 216 + 72 = 288 lines out of 300.
I can let the machine work during 2 hours (french lunch duration :lol: ), so that the pic should be finished by 8AM tomorrow, New-York time... 8)

I think you mean 7:30am. 2 hours of lunch break? You are one luck dude!
I can wait =P
Well, people can't usually afford such a long lunch break, though we love eating in france. But since I arrive in the office at 8AM, and leave round 7PM, knowing I work home from time to time, to inlude some week-ends, I take long lunch breaks...
Remember that the legal worktime in France is now 35h/week, which is totally stupid since only the government employees can live that way... That's a major issue in france now...
You work for 11hrs a day? And you have work 5 days a week. That means you work for 55 hrs/week? Am I getting this correct?
Most of the executive staff work between 50 and 70 hours per week, while others, like government employees, work at most 35 hours a week, sometimes less (like some teachers, not all) who work only 15 or 20 hours per week... Our country is full of contradictions of that kind, it's endless is fact...
Here it is... finally:

I don't think I will do that again, even if I'm happy to have done it: so the first lines were plotted on Thursday the 30th, end of afternoon. We're on Tuesday the 4th, 9:45 Paris time.
The facts: 160000 cubes, ie 960000 polygons, 3D Perlin noise with 7 octaves for the colour...

If some of you have some ideas to speed-up the process, well you're wellcome !
