Casio Calculators / Re: Video player for Casio Prizm
« on: February 20, 2012, 06:27:05 pm »
just use ffmpeg, like i suggested. it's simple. download and extract this
open the folder you just extracted and drag your wmv file into the "bin" folder. then hold shift and right click on the bin folder. select Open Command Windows Here. run this command:

ffmpeg -i <video_name>.wmv %d.jpg

and you're done :)

EDIT: modified because there is a way to open a folder in command prompt

that seems pretty fast to me, unless you have thousands of images. you're doing this, right?

there is a fairly simple way to do what you want using the GIMP. you want to fill in areas that are all one colour with a specific patter, yes?
what you'd need to do is make images with small sections of the patterns you want to use so that, if it were tiled repeatedly, all the lines would match up at the tiles' edges, and then save it as a GIMP pattern (*.pat) file and copy it into the pattern folder wherever you have GIMP installed. from then on, it will appear in your list of patterns. then use the select by colour tool to limit your selection to only the colour you want to replace with the pattern, choose the bucket fill tool, set it to "fill whole selection" and "pattern fill" and you can fill the entire area with that pattern.

ASM / Re: Count to 10,000 in ASM
« on: February 20, 2012, 01:51:14 am »
I made a program for it on my NXT in assembly that counts and displays the number.(It displays the number in the same place the whole time.) It counts to 10,000 in about 4 seconds.
there's no way that you are getting 2,500 frames per second. i'm guessing that whatever method your using isn't "turning off the OS overhead" like qwerty said, and that it manages screen updates itself with interrupts, and that all you're doing is writing the character data to a RAM buffer somewhere.
the processor in the NXT brick runs at 48 MHz (or so the internet tells me), and the z80 in the 83+ and 84+ run at 6 MHz and 15 MHz respectively, so it will, indeed, count faster. like qwerty said, that's not the best way to determine "how fast it will run," but when the differences are that obvious, it's not a question.

there are a few gui's, but none of them can do everything the command line can.
this one looks decent: http://avanti.arrozcru.com/
EDIT: you have to download ffmpeg separately and stick it in the folder for this one to work, it looks like.

use ffmpeg. it's pretty much a one app fits all when it comes to video conversion.
EDIT:
if you want to convert all a video's frames to jpgs, use this: ffmpeg -i /source/video/here.wmv /path/to/output/%d.jpg
here's a good resource link. ffmpeg is cross-platform, though, so if you're not on ubuntu, don't worry

you should go with chromium instead. if you want what you have, though, then you can make a custom .desktop file.
just right click and make and empty file on your desktop, and then rename it chrome.desktop. then paste this inside it:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

the graphics are fantastic =D. like he said, it's still a bit slow, though. oh, and it doesn't work with the PRIZM's auto-resume app thing, so trying to run it won't work unless it was not the last addin run.

your original only sounded strange because discuss typically has a direct object (so, with whom to discuss things). the whom was used properly

anywhoozle, welcome here, you!
oh, and here are a few more types of peanuts, in case you want some variety XD

Computer Usage and Setup Help / Re: lol $29.99 Intel Core i7 computer?
« on: February 09, 2012, 01:06:08 pm »
I got my computer for $10.

Its an emachines T2482 with only 512MB RAM, but go beat that for $10. :D
0$ on an awful emachines t2042 that i pieced together from scraps. the monitor came from someone's grandparents (who were upgrading to an i7 with 8 gigs of ram and a TB hard drive XD), the keyboard and other peripherals from various places. a pci board for extra usb slots from an older computron that someone was tossing out, a hard drive and processor from yet another computer being tossed. extra RAM that was just laying around, and a tower from a police auction XD

2 gigs of RAM, 2.4 GHz, 8 gigHDD, and this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/doctorwho/9223/

Axe / Re: Scrolling problem; please help!
« on: February 08, 2012, 09:20:00 pm »
like i said, look in the routines thread. it has more than one example of smooth scrolling in there. here's one builder posted two years ago(works only for left and right):
http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1532.0;attach=862

and one i posted seven months later(works for all four directions):

Axe / Re: Scrolling problem; please help!
« on: February 08, 2012, 09:04:45 pm »
these things have been posted dozens of times before. just try poking around the forums for one.
the axe routines thread is a great place to start when looking for that type of thing, and a quick forum search yielded these threads(one of which you started yourself, saintrunner):
http://ourl.ca/7512
http://ourl.ca/11302
http://ourl.ca/12349
http://ourl.ca/9188
http://ourl.ca/14065

tilemapping in axe is basically the most asked, and consequently most well documented, routine on this site.
