I did a little middle up on the Code up there it should be this.

Lbl 5
“ENTER MAXIUM NUMBER”?->M
Int MRan#->N
0->L
0->T
Int (M/2)->G
T+1->T
Lbl 1
“GUESS”
Locate 7,7,G
If G>N
Then “LOWER”
T+1->T
G->M
M-G->R
Int (R/2)+L->G
Goto 1
Else If GT
G->L
M-L->R
Int (R/2)+L->G
Goto 1
Else “DONE”
“IT’S”
Locate 7,7,G
“NUMBER OF GUESSES”
T_
Goto 5

Hi
Just recently I thought I would be possible to make a Casio CFX-9850GB do a 3D render.
I thought I would look it up and see if it has been done and I found this site.
I have made a few programs before. One of them is a Number too Binary converter.
If you input a number say 568, my program will tell you that in binary it’s
0000001000111000
Might be wrong I warn you. My friends love to mess up my code when ever they get there hands on it!
Then I made a binary counting program that is the same as that one except that I add 1 to a variable each refresh and it just decodes the binary out of that variable.
It counts slower and slower unfortunatly. After 1hour it takes about half a second to process 1 digit. And you can see it refreshing the number from left to righ.
I was bored so I made one of those classic Guess the number games where you enter a maxium number and it will generate a random number between 0 and the max number and you guess and it say’s higher or lower….
One of my friend said that I should make it so the calculator guesses. So I went home thinking and made it.
The calculator will OWN you at a really big number like 100,000,000.
I’ll do it now… Max Number 100,000,000 waiting….
It got it! 92,167,189 in 37 GUESSES!

It has a intermitint bug that I can’t really be bothered fixing. I have tried but havn’t found it.
It will guess say if the max number is 100
50
0
25
0
13
But only do this sometimes? Something wrong with my formula.
So feel free to fix it. The code is this:

I’ll tell you what the variables = to make things easier for you.
Variables:
M=Maxium number
N=The random number
L=The lowest number
T=How many tries
G=Guess
R=Range
/=Divide (no divide on key board)
_=That triangle thing that displays a result

Think thats all of them

It’s called GUESS V3

So it’s a simple concept.
Have a look and see if you can improve it!

If someone could give me some formulas I need for my 3D render idea.

One that can rotate 4 coordinates on a graph. E.g. Makd a 2D square rotate in accordance to say a variable like A for angle.

Thats all I need at the moment to make a start.
I want to make a program that renders a 3D cube in perspective with 2 Vanish points.

I want the program to have some variable so that I can move the Station Point which in turn moves the vanish points.
So it wont just be in a cool looking perspective but you can change the position you are standing around the cube. Sounds hard but I know it’s posiable!

nice read.

Comment on Tutorial Thursday - Global variables in ActionScript 3.0 by Ingve

The correct should be:

public static var varScore:Number = 100;

NOT

public static varScore:Number = 100;

Doesn’t seem to work for me.
Throws following error inn the as file:

1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute public, not static.

Hey nite. :)
I guess they call it WINE for a reason.

Hey nite. :)

I think you should report the problems/error messages/everything you had to http://winehq.com/. Especially since you have pretty old hardware… you could help them fix those problems and make Wine much better. :)

Diablo II is listed on Wine AppDB with “Platinum” rating which means *everything* in it should work. (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=49)

Neverwinter Nights apparently has a native Linux client so I guess using that would be a better solution.

I didn’t bother checking the other games. :(

Try Crossover Games,
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxgames/
it supposedly can run GTA2, at least.

And a big part (half?) of every dollar you spend at codeweavers goes to
help the wine project. They’re the main Wine developers,
and Crossover is how they fund Wine.
