I generally use Camstudio+VirtualDub or Calccapture, but Camstudio+VirtualDub produces horribly large GIFs and CalCapture colors are terrible.

I added a screenshot feature in Crafti: Press Crtl + . in-game to save the screen as /documents/ndless/screenshot.ppm.tns. It doesn't call refresh_osscr() as it would take too long, so don't wonder if it doesn't show you that the file exists. I changed the file of my v1.1 announcement as it's not really a new version.

Lol, great :D

Could it be possible though to have it save in screenshotXXX.ppm.tns, where XXX ranges from 000 to 999 ? In case we have to do more than one screenshot while we are on vacations :P

Also, about the sensitive touchpad (yeah, again :P), couldn't it be possible to have the "center zone" of the touchpad be precise, and the "outer zone" be fast ?

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

That could get slow, but why not. I'll also add some kind of notification ("Saved as %d.ppm") on the screen.

That could be weird if you wipe across the pad and it gets slower in the center. But I'll probably make the rotation speed dependant on the touchpad velocity.

Well, only slow while saving, so not a big problem as long as it doesn't last ;)
Thanks :)

Yeah, very good idea, I don't even know why I didn't think about it :D

Ooh I like the capture idea. It should be handy for when we want to do it on calc :D

A small feature to the settings, is it possible to change the view angle without compromising the performance?

I don't see what you mean. Uou can already look around with the touchpad, can't you ? Or is that not what you want ?

I'm assuming he means field of view, which I agree is a nice feature in any first-person 3D game.

I always set the fov to default. :P Might be handy on a superwidescreen setup though.

I implemented FOV changing as well as up to 1000 screenshots and some nice messages on screen! As usual, I replaced crafti.prg.tns.zip from the last announcement.

Screenshot:

Somehow I want to make something different than Crafti with nGL and Perspective came into my mind.
With some Z-buffer tricks and smaller worlds nGL should handle it fairly well. What do you think?

Could be cool :) though it's too bad that it is said nowhere that the first game to use this concept was Eco-Sphere on PSP, several years ago.
