>dumping massive amounts of iron into the ocean
NOPENOPENOPENOPE

Precisely why it's a made up project :P

In any case, an environmental company has already done a demo of the technology and they ended up being fined about 15 million dollars for the ecological damage.

Oops, sorry. Didn't know you had to do that.

EDIT: Also, thanks.

My school has gotten the idea that an ideas competition would do something beneficial for the school and I'm required to participate in it. Unfortunately, several of the most popular ideas not only don't work, but would violate the laws of physics. Let's get some artificial vote inflation going and support my [made-up] project.

I'm not sure there's any reward for winning, but on the off chance there is and I win, then the money would be donated to the next legitimate project or to charity. Also, I'm not responsible for any legal implications or bodily injury/maiming that may occur as a result of voting.

ASM / Re: OFFSCRIPT Standardization
« on: October 14, 2011, 10:07:05 pm »
The problem with standards is often that no one adopts them. How would a new standard work and not break compatibility with the old "standard?"

EDIT: Also, how many programs really need to be run at startup or shutdown?

ASM / Re: Is there an ASM converter ?
« on: October 14, 2011, 01:35:57 pm »
As far as I know, it's generally done by changing the include file on the assembler. That will be fairly ineffective here, so it would have to be done manually.

I'm not sure I understand your post. Would you mind rephrasing it or writing it in French?

That's because it's a hard work I'm looking for a converter :-\ but if it doesn't exist, I will try to do this manually, and in this case ...  :banghead:

I hadn't see the precedent post  ;D

I have the code, he's in a *.z80 file, I'd disassemble it from an Axe program (*.8xp), I want not compile different code !

Code in .z80 files won't run. You need to assemble it with an assembler anyways. The thing about ASM is that well written ASM uses a lot of #define statements to allow for small constant changes. These are defined in the include file. For a normal ASM program, most of what you would need to do is change the ports and change the #define statements. However, you're working with disassembled Axe. That's a different story and unless you're extremely good with z80, I'd highly recommend starting with an easier project. Disassembled code is notoriously difficult to understand, let alone port to a new platform (although Axe admittedly doesn't produce the "WTF?" code most compilers do).

They're both Z80 CPUs. The differences are in the peripheral hardware. As for a converter, try an Assembler instead. Just modify your include file properly.

Math and Science / Re: TI has a bad CAS, isn't it?
« on: October 14, 2011, 12:14:35 pm »
That's a nasty little integral you have there. I'm not surprised TI's CAS couldn't solve it. From what I'm aware, the CAS on the 89 and the Nspire is a modern form of TI's old DERIVE CAS. That CAS wasn't particularly good, but it's also not entirely horrible. The calcs probably use a limited form that has more problems.

On the other hand, HPs are better for math because HP spends a lot of time programming those calcs to do math very well. They really are the best calcs for math. Good thing calculators were never meant for math, eh? :P

Hayleia: No solutions exist for that one.

This is how the rest of the optimization competitions will generally go :P

I got my Iphone 5G taken away, and I got ASD, so i'm grounded for 3 weeks...

Good luck getting it back. My High school would take phones for the rest of the semester, then "lose" them. Somehow, the security people were always getting new phones too...

Miscellaneous / Re: how to improve my crysis 2 speeds?
« on: October 13, 2011, 04:51:31 pm »
I don't know what kind of information is stores in RAM (other than the local player/mob data and the current map), as that tends to be very game dependent. I haven't done a whole lot of research into the CryEngine used in Crysis 2, but I am aware that they took a lot of shortcuts (as expected).

Here's some information that I came across awhile ago that might interest you.

A lot of it is caching, I believe. RAM is much faster to access than Disk, so games store as much information in RAM as possible in a sort of pseudo-cache. Those sort of CPU intensive games also tend to store massive lookup tables to improve the speed of gameplay.

Other / Re: Dennis Ritchie, creator of C and developer of UNIX dead
« on: October 13, 2011, 03:43:47 pm »
Come to think, Dennis Ritchie influenced directly or indirectly pretty much every well-known programming languages...

Except BASIC, which Microsoft then corrupted with C-like concepts in Visual BASIC.

An SSD will *only* improve the fetch times for information that has to be retrieved from disk. Sound speed probably wouldn't increase, although map loading time would.
