Great!
i also wished for a game that has auto-generated roads, preferably a rally game, so i would have unlimited stages to drive on. but that project would be too difficult for me.

Support / blitting - rotated ? subtractive ?
« on: August 27, 2023, 09:04:18 am »
i wish blitting can be 90 degree rotated and can be subtractive in color.
rotated blitting can be used to mimic the rotation of screen without setting it from Android , and without using different textures.
subtractive color is easier to achieve dark text on light color background, without using different textures. ( i currently use textures with white text on black background and no alpha, additive makes the text look good on dark background)
are these possible?

Support / Re: framebuffer.getpixels and screen recorder

i think it uses the video encode/decode processor to do the encoding in vram then transfer the data stream to system ram/network/storage, just like recording video from physical camera.

Support / framebuffer.getpixels and screen recorder
« on: August 25, 2023, 09:32:01 am »
i have an A53@2.3G + mali T830 device and used the screen recorder built in the Android7 system. i get almost 30fps video recording my 3D app. (res 1920x1080)
that means Android can read the screen into system RAM at high rate. but the image was produced in GPU. does that mean there is a faster way than fb.getPixels ?

Thanks.
about the controls, you need to spend some time in the QUICK START and USER CONTROL chapters in the User Manual, just pay attention to the phase TOUCH UI.
or, if you have some teenager kids, let them read the User Manual and learn to fly, they can show it to you soon.

hello everyone,
i released a new demo . one main difference is that , this version has on-screen touch controls, no need for keyboard (but keyboard still works). just find the new file named 2023 08 in the link posted above, if you want to try it.

Support / Re: 3D modeler app made with JPCT-AE, possible or not?
« on: July 10, 2023, 04:06:33 am »
i might have a method to avoid uploading new mesh every time a vertex is moved or added or deleted etc. - using shader and dynamic uniforms.
would you be interested in making an app like this? you can sell it on google app store. i think it takes only a few months to finish the basic program. i think many people would like to use such an app , for casual modeling. and it's output file can be re-edited by other modeler softwares (3dsmax etc).
i might be able to make an app myself but it would be very limited and non-professional, since it's not my main goal, and i am not a professional programmer.

thanks for your confirmation.
i guess using jpct-ae, one can make a modeler app which is usable but limited in functionalities and lower performance and non-professional looking. tricks must be used to solve some problems. that way, the app's worth is a doubt.
at the meantime, how about windows version of jpct? a modeler made with jpct, designed for tap control (tablet PC), is this easier? is this kind of app worth the efforts?

Support / 3D modeler app made with JPCT-AE, possible or not?
« on: July 07, 2023, 01:52:27 pm »
i wish i could make 3D models on android devices, using tap control only. so that i dont need windows PC and mouse.
i wonder whether it's possible to make an app with basic modeling functionalities, like some of those in 3DSMAX.
one problem i anticipate is that, models are highly dynamic in a modeler app, i've never tried that with JPCT.
another problem is that, there are symbols, lines, translucent objects, etc.. i dont know whether GLES is good enough to handle all those elements.
anyone interested in such app or with technical insight?

Support / Re: using multiple renderers in 1 process?

i mean, faster than using only gl renderer to render all display ports.

what if gl renderer and software renderer are used to render 2 different display port? not combining the images, but still in 1 process. is this do-able? would it be faster?

Support / using multiple renderers in 1 process?
« on: July 02, 2023, 10:11:57 pm »
Hello Egon,
i have a strange idea. can we use 1 opengl renderer and multiple software renderers at the same time in 1 process?
software renderers don't use gpu but only cpu. nowadays all cpus have multiple cores. if we use most cores for rendering (for example render-to-texture) it should be great, right?
if so, the software renderer can be a great tool.

what about the software renderer of jpct? although slow, it is useful in some cases.

does jpct work on these devices?
there devices are marketed as computers for students. if jpct works on them, more students would get to know jpct.  :)

In theory, this information is already somewhere in jpct-ae, since visible points are projected onto the screen, and so on with the calculation of the distance to the points .

it is calculated in GPU. maybe you can get that info by reading depth buffer. but even so, the read operation costs a lot of time, no good for real time application.
