mky pc good for blitz basic 2d?

hi,

i got a:

pentium 2 333 mhz
direct X 9.0
1000 watt speakers
52 speed cdrom
392 mb ram
10 gb harddisk

and i was wondering if this is enough to run BLitz Basic at all? because when i test my game i only hear a sound (but when i remove the rotation code) everytrhing runs normal?
:(


greetz,

Probably because you don't have a graphics card? ;)

Seriously, spec seems fine (I'm assuming there *is* a graphics card of sorts?). I coded Hole in One on a Cyrix 233MHz with 128Mb RAM and 4Mb integrated graphics card.

Your specs look fine, although you've failed to mention you have a sound card either... I'm assuming you do.

You're going to have to post some code so we can see what you're doing and where you're going wrong.

I'm not sure what you're talking about 'removing the rotation code' if you're using rotate image in your main loop this will hang your whole system out to dry as it's not fast enough for realtime stuff.

Post some code and we'll take a look.

hi,

Global Player
Global snd

Graphics 800,600,16

SetBuffer BackBuffer()

Player= LoadImage("player.jpg")
intropic = LoadImage ("yakuza logo 2.jpg")
music = PlayMusic("dragonforce.mp3")
timer = CreateTimer(20)

ship = LoadAnimImage ("player.jpg", 113,113,0,36)

startframe = 27
frame = 27

Repeat

If speed# < 0 Then speed# = speed + .01
If speed# > 0 Then speed# = speed - .01

If KeyDown(200) Then ;UP Arrow
speed# = speed + .05
If speed# > 2 Then Speed# = 2
End If

If KeyDown(208) Then ;Down Arrow
speed# = speed - .05
If speed# < -2 Then Speed# = -2
End If

If timer+50 < MilliSecs() Then

timer = MilliSecs()

If KeyDown(203) Then ;Left Arrow
frame = frame - 1
If frame < 0 Then frame = 35
End If

If KeyDown(205) Then ;Right Arrow
frame = frame + 1
If frame > 35 Then frame = 0
End If

End If

angle = (frame-startframe)*10

x# = x# + Cos(angle)*speed#
y# = y# + Sin(angle)*speed#

DrawImage player, x#, y#, frame

Flip
Cls
Until KeyHit(1)


DrawImage intropic, 1,1
Flip

While Not KeyDown(57)

While Not KeyHit(1)
Cls

If KeyDown (200) y=y-2
If KeyDown (203) x=x-2
If KeyDown (205) x=x+2
If KeyDown (208) y=y+2

If KeyHit (31) PlaySound snd

DrawImage Player,x,y

i get: "not enough frames in bitmap" but uhm...what bitmap? i have taken the rotation code from a other topic. because i am a real beginner in this :) (crtl+v ctrl+c) :(

Player= LoadImage("player.jpg")
ship = LoadAnimImage ("player.jpg", 113,113,0,36)

One of these are wrong.
I would have to say "your ship bitmap". If you ask me you missed something while copying and pasting.

And yeah, that computer should run Blitz just fine.

1000 watt speakers

Damn! I don't want to be sitting in front of those puppies ;c)

>Damn! I don't want to be sitting in front of those >puppies ;c)

Thats propably 1000Watt P.M.P.O roughly the same as 25 (DIN)watts ;)

Andy

Double post!? WTF?

Andy

Yeah. It should be illegal to give speaker ratings in PMPO. I only buy the ones that give it in RMS - i.e. truthfully.

ok. for fully deteails about specifications here it is:

Pentium 2 333 mhz
Windows 2000 Proffesional 2.0.2195 Service Pack 4 Build 2195.
392 mb ram
5.1 sound card
52 speed cdrom
1000 watt speakers
direct x 9.0
10 gb harddisk
848 mb virtual memory

Still i cant get it to work.; it says: not enough frames in bitmap...i changed the ship into player. but still a error :S

If that's the error you're getting, then it means that the bitmap is not big enough for it to cut 36 113x113 images from it.

I'd check that if I were you...

Perhaps I wasn't speaking too clearly. The fault is not a hardware issue. The fault is in your program, or in your media. Zip everything up, and let us have a look.
