Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi all,

I have updated the Graphics Programming Manual to include the new features that are include in version 5.06.00 of MMBasic.

I have not yet covered the 3D engine and DRAW3D commands or the extensive range of MATH commands. These almost require a manual of their own but I may try to at least introduce them in a later update.

I have added a chapter covering the Great Octahedron Challenge as a teaser showing the fabulous graphics capabilities of the CMM2.

As always, I welcome comments or advice on errors for me to fix.

Doug.

Amazing job Doug  

This manual is super useful.

Did you see the updated code for the quaternion examples?

Leo,

Thanks for that link. As I get my head around all the powerfull 3D stuff you and your two countrymen do using Peter's mind boggling graphics programming functionality, I plan to attempt a separate, in-depth treatise in the 3D capabilities of the CMM2.

This is a major task for me as my math finished at year 11 high school. Even with a lifetime in electronics and computer maintenance, you and your compatriot's level of knowledge is well beyond me.

Thanks again for your previous support,
Regards,
Doug.

I've forgotten more math than you ever knew. I think I've now regressed to only knowing add, subtract, multiply, and that other one.

The updated exemple code is using the firmware quaternion functions instead the custom quaternion functions and that complex math. The code is less complex and more clear

Hi,
My nearly 2 cents  
Reading the doc, I have seen that in v.5.06.00, the "OPTION DEFAULT MODE n" can now be fixed at 1, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12. It is still said 1, 8 or 9 in the doc

Some patches and typo fixes. This release, v3f, should cover all the features available in the stable 5.06.00 release of MMBasic.

I will hold off on any more updates until 5.07 is released (lots and LOTS of new stuff there to get my head around and document     ).
