The copyright notice must be distributed with the binaries. That means you can put a credits screen, have it in a readme or even on a flier that comes with the console.
Yea, still I don't want to credit them. We aren't using foreign code so far and I don't want to start it. I will just rewrite it.

It would also be cool to have some kind of overridable setPixel function. That way you can make simple pixel shaders run :)

How do you mean?
Also all graphic functions are drawing directly to the buffer not using the setPixel at all for speed.

Well, you can make an inline setPixel function for simplicity's sake, right? :)

adekto

the pixel comand is in there and used by some of my code, so you can use it
i think you can also acces the hole buffer if you want, not sure how thoug ( you prefer a getpixel or specific regions?)

I've made a ploygon fill algoritm. the speed is okay i think, but it still requires a sort for every horizontal line of pixels. I've used bubble sort for now but its easily changable.


public void polygon(int... points)
{
final int accuracy = 8;

if (points.length % 2 != 0 || points.length < 6)
return;

int[] get = new int[points.length / 2 * 5];
int getn = 0;
int [] xpt = new int[points.length / 2];
int xptn;

int pymax = 0, pymin = height-1;

for (int i=0; i<points.length; i+=2)
{
int x0 = points[i];
int y0 = points[i+1];
int x1 = points[(i+2)%points.length];
int y1 = points[(i+3)%points.length];

if (y0 > y1)
{
get[getn] = y1;
get[getn+1] = y0;
get[getn+2] = (x0-x1<<accuracy)/(y0-y1); // inverse slope
get[getn+3] = x0;
get[getn+4] = x0;
getn += 5;
}else if (y0 != y1)
{
get[getn] = y0;
get[getn+1] = y1;
get[getn+2] = (x1-x0<<accuracy)/(y1-y0); // inverse slope
get[getn+3] = x1;
get[getn+4] = x0;
getn += 5;
}

pymax = Math.max(y0, pymax);
pymin = Math.min(y0, pymin);
}

for (int scan=pymin+1; scan <= pymax; scan++)
{
xptn = 0;
for (int i=0; i<getn; i+=5)
if (scan > get[i] && scan <= get[i+1])
xpt[xptn++] = ((scan - get[i+1])*get[i+2]>>accuracy) + get[i+3];

bubbleSort(xpt, xptn);

for (int i=0; i<xptn-1; i+=2)
for (int x = xpt[i]; x < xpt[i+1]; x++)
setPixel(x, scan);
}
}

public void bubbleSort(int[] array, int n)
{
    boolean swapped = true;
    int j = 0;
    int tmp;
    while (swapped)
    {
    swapped = false;
    j++;
    for (int i = 0; i < n-j; i++)
    {
    if (array[i] > array[i+1])
    {
    tmp = array[i];
    array[i] = array[i+1];
    array[i+1] = tmp;
    swapped = true;
    }
    }
    }
}


note: "int... points" is anotherway of writing "int[] points" in java. The difference is you can supply the arguments without making them an array first, ie polygon(0, 10, 10, 10, 10, 0); which is the same as polygon(new int[]{0, 10, 10, 10, 10, 0});  ;)

Since it uses ints only and a slope is a value which usually is a floating point number ive mutiplied it with a number (the accuracy constant). To save on precious cpu cycles i've used shift instead of multiply/divide

Nice :)

Sure, but i don't like and can't include the licence into the binary image. I want to have as much of the code written by us or people interested in the project as possible. I don't like reusing others code when not required. In this case, as we have most functions that we will use provided by either the great people here, written ourselves or adapted from MIT code, I think we will just rewirite the external code.
I think my main gripe with using code that requires copyrights like this would be the fact the readme or console is littered with watermarks. Imagine if everytime you start the console you were forced to display some splash screen with the company logo of the people who wrote the code or something (like when starting a Game Maker game)

It's fine if the only place where you are forced to put credits in is the readme or credits screen, though, since those aren't intrusive. But I guess using your own code would be better since it makes it easier to sell the console.

These licenses are made exactly so that you can freely reuse the code for anything. I think it's pretty fair that the author is asking for credits.

Yeah I know. I am mostly talking about licenses that requires using anything that looks like a watermark or advertising. Imagine playing First Fantasy Microcat with ads plastered everywhere O.O

Lol that's abusive, no one would want to use code under such a license.

Sure but I don't want to use such code when not absolutely required.
That's my final word on this.
I really don't want to plaster my binary files with copyright notices for single functions.

wait are you still suporting 16 bit color mode?
Also do you want a pure triangle draw code, because I could easily make one, as I made one in lua that I deleted, as it was(a bit) slower than filling polygons,at least on computer. However, it only sorts the points. Also, lua uses decimals, while I would use integers in the c code for this.

No true 16 bit colors aren't supported anymore. Though you can cheat by using the 39 dynamic palette colors that you can assign any 16 bit color to. You can use these dynamic colors everywhere from sprites to all drawing functions.

About the triangle code, I would love to have yours if you post it here. I am glad about any graphic function that is useful in game making and has no requirement for floating point :)
