Last post by kevin - March 13, 2024, 10:19:24 PMSteve,
Dude, I wish i had some useful advice, I really don't know what to tell you !
Yes sadly this such a problem as programs get bigger... Once the surface area of them grows adding new features / changes existing features become more laborious.. I suffer from this situation a lot these days, trying to change anything in a big code base is tedious.
If you want I can pick through and try and give some assistance. Which really is making libraries out of the various underlying elements. Which allows for the functionality to be shared/exported between projects easier, but as the surface area of the interfaces get bigger, around we go again! :)
Anything in that space would be cool.. Ideally something that a user can import and just write their code on top of. So the editor has a set of libraries a user can import and use to load/show objects in their code.
I dunno... but something that helps us move in that next direction is needed.. but as you know building big things a hard !
Enjoy ! :)
Quotedidn't originally intend for the program to get this big. been workin on it for about a year now.not sure if i should add more or start a new project?

Quotei was thinking of re-writing this with a better set up, as i didn't know what data needed to be shared.
a lot is copy/paste with an edit. it is getting harder to add to the code, as i need to adjust it in many area's, so a re-write would make it smaller and easier to grow.

Quotei was thinking of a 3D editor with all polygons, so you can make any shaped object you like?
there is already free stuff that does this, but i am doing this for the challenge and the fun of it.

3D Development / Re: Build a basic 3D Render En...
Last post by stevmjon - March 11, 2024, 07:10:01 PMwell, time for another update to v0.54 March 2024.
this update was delayed because i wanted to add more tools & features requested by Kev.
i also fixed several bugs i found too.
Features :
> 'array' tool : this lets you clone an object in a grid pattern (good for walls, decking etc).
> 'clone' tool : this lets you clone an object in a given direction (good for stairs and above also).
> 'save / load' files : all the shape types are now supported, and the name of a loaded file appears in the screen title (top).
> 'panels' : a panel pops up with settings for different tools. it can be moved around the screen by click & hold the title. it also remembers the last settings used.
> 'panel values' : made sure that small movements of the mouse always give at least 1 integar value (it used to give zero)
> 'solid mode' : this is a new draw mode for the objects. the objects are converted to polygons and drawn solid. the draw order is artists render method so is far - near order.
* NOTE: the advantage is the objects are drawn solid and are drawn fast. some polygons may 'pop' in front/behind others because i am using artist render method.
> 'more shapes' : there is ball , cylinder & box shapes(new). all shapes can be rotated & scaled.
> 'render modes' : there is multiple smaller render sizes for a quicker view. 100% , 50% , 25% .
i have also included a save file with this demo with the walkway object i made with this program.
enjoy, stevmjon

Source Codes / Number of Good Pairs - Leetcod...
Last post by kevin - March 10, 2024, 10:40:45 PM#1512. Number of Good Pairs
Given an array of integers nums, return the number of good pairs.
A pair (i, j) is called good if nums == nums[j] and i < j.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,1,1,3]
Output: 4
Explanation: There are 4 good pairs (0,3), (0,4), (3,4), (2,5) 0-indexed.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,1,1,1]
Output: 6
Explanation: Each pair in the array are good.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [1,2,3]
Output: 0
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 100
1 <= nums <= 100
Here's solution in PlayBASIC. It breaks down into a two pass solution, Using an array to map the number of values that have collisions (pairs) and then tally those up. I feel like this could be solved it in one pass, can you do it ? :)
[pbcode]
Test$="1,2,3,1,1,3"
; Test$="1,1,1,1";
;Test$="1,2,3"
print "Test:"+Test$
// Split this split into an numeric array
dim Numbers(0)
Count=Splittoarray(Test$,",",Numbers())
// count unique values
dim Values(10)
for lp=0 to Count-1
ThisValue = Numbers(lp)
Values(ThisValue)++
next
// compute total good pairs
TotalPairs = 0
for lp=0 to GetarrayElements(Values())
Count = Values(lp)
do count>0
count--
TotalPairs+=(Count)
loop
next
print "Good Pairs:"+str$(totalPairs)
sync
waitkey

3D Development / Re: Build a basic 3D Render En...
Last post by stevmjon - February 09, 2024, 08:03:28 PMgood idea kev.
i can add a new preview mode that is 'solid mode' where all the objects are replaced with a PB shape.
this will stop the delay that the shaded modes have each time when movement stops.
i will delay the next release a bit more to implement these new ideas. if you have any more let me know and i will add them.
i have also added a new array tool too. i will post a pic when i get the panel for it done.

Last post by kevin - February 07, 2024, 07:20:12 AM Cool!!!
Another thing I was thinking about was possibly trying a dithering style patterns for the filled preview modes too. So the user can get a sense of it while something is moving without drawing the while thing every refresh

3D Development / Re: Build a basic 3D Render En...
Last post by stevmjon - February 04, 2024, 11:52:13 PMkev, i just added a tweaked version of what you suggested with the preview render resolution.
instead of drawing the screen in stages as you suggested, i decided to draw a smaller preview screen size with all the detail in it. still draws so much faster too.
100% = 114 seconds
50% = 28 seconds
25% = 7 seconds
great idea for this suggestion kev. now i don't have to sit thought slow render times, lol.
i will post a new demo very soon too. i now have all the routines in for boxes, and i am now just setting up a nice default scene to view. i wanna get a bit creative with the boxes.
