I never noticed until now, but there's also a picnic table in the picture, too! {"name":"611120","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/f\/a\/fa47a47a8838eab4caebc0545ad8422c.png","w":512,"h":384,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/f\/a\/fa47a47a8838eab4caebc0545ad8422c"} -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

If you look closely, only one of the red circles is not anti-aliased. The circle over Neil's face is the best. Which paint program produced each of those circles? bamccaig's circle is not AA

I used GIMP to apply my circles.

That worked, and it also made my computer quiet! But it also made it unresponsive. I'll submit a bug report once I get to another computer. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

From where I'm sitting, it looks as if bambams's circle is AA, as is Neil's. The original top-right face is not AA but has suffered JPEG degradation, and the picnic table circle is not AA and not degraded. So, ignoring JPEG, there are two of each type of circle and I'm afraid I can't even explain what you saw by assuming your double negative was accidental...?

Bruce - when I said bambam's circle I meant the one he drew, not the one he's circled in - so the picnic table is what I was referring to.

I see. My point that there are two circles of each type still stands though - I guess you thought the JPEG degradation on the top right circle was anti-aliasing -- |

My circle is not AA, I used a rather old version of Photoshop. I really should use GIMP more often. --- |

It's actually pretty cool. Wavelets can be used for all kinds of stuff. It really opened my eyes to how we represent stuff using the most "obvious", standard, representation. But there's tons of ways to represent stuff. Instead of a height map of air pressure on a grid, you could, say, represent the pressure at position X with an equation. Maybe it wouldn't help, maybe it would, I don't know. It's a bit of a contrived example. But it's cool stuff. One experiment I did with air pressure simulation on a tile map was to have "generators" (a pressure leak, an air pump, etc) that spawned walkers, and walkers walked the grid except where walls blocked them. Each generator spawned new walkers ever X frames and they "grew" or "surged" out from the generators and updated tiles as they went along. If one generator met another generator's output, they could either average the results of both, or weigh them based on the age. The further out you were from a generator, the older the results would be which simulated pressure waves a bit. [edit] Not sure if this helps visualize, but here's a test app running with each color representing a different "generation" of walkers. With a generator on the bottom right, and a generator on the top left. {"name":"1MVP88Z.png","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/2\/e\/2ef7530b2d90c9afad20fa99b2204092.png","w":527,"h":518,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/2\/e\/2ef7530b2d90c9afad20fa99b2204092"} {"name":"e8Q4rt9.png","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/e\/1e6ad0dd62739291ea869175d3085164.png","w":600,"h":570,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/e\/1e6ad0dd62739291ea869175d3085164"} -----sig: |

So my old GPU has been collecting dust in a drawer since I upgraded back in May. I listed the old GPU on a "buy, sell, trade" group on Facebook yesterday, and I'm going to meet a guy in a couple of hours to sell it. I hope he doesn't kill me.

I try to buy used with pretty much every non-perishable, but computer parts are the main exception. I suppose it's because they wear down and break in ways that cannot be easily detected, so why take that chance? I hope you are not killed, either. Clearly, this man is a lunatic. That said, I would be more likely to buy a used graphics card than I would a used HDD (ignoring educational purposes). |
