Quicky DC Dev Questions

If you'd be so kind, what are the options for texture filters and do they produce noticable slowdowns for 2 images say the size of the screen?

And, does the PVR handle polygon clipping for us? And what about double buffering... is that even nessecary since the scene drawer thingy? I haven't been able to compile anything yet so yeah.

Filters:
None
Bilinear
Trilinear
Trilinear2

No slowdowns.

The PVR won't draw pixels that are outside the screen.
You won't have to worry about double buffering.

Nice. I bet Gyrovorbis was happy when he learned he didn't have to use BUFFERS!

Thanks.

Buffers blow balls.

Now you can see the true fury of t3h PVR.

By the way, did you ever get that demo to compile?

What demo?

Example or whatever. I'm talking to you on MSN btw, and you did get it.

Well, I made a program where a blue box bounces around the TV, but when I first made it... I couldn't understand why it seemed it went about 50 pixes past the top and left sides of the TV.... and and 50 pixels less on the bottom and right sides.... That made me freaken mad! So I slept on it and realized... hey, maybe the code Gyrovorbis gave me to draw a poly was for some reason drawing the poly at the CENTER of the x and y I gave it. And what do you know. IT WAS! Gyrov..... Why the heck are you drawing things from the center..... GAH do you know how difficult that makes things.... *cough* anyway.... I fixed it up and everything is all better. But now I would like to learn more.

How do you go about displaying a PNG on teh screen?
How do you get user input? (maple syrup what?)

... are you ignoring this because I posted it in the "wrong" forum? Jeeezzeeee I'm sorry foo. sigh.... maybe I'll beat it out of you on MSN sometime. Its not like you have to "teach" me anything. All I need is the skelatal code and I could figure it out on my own. Maybe ask a question here or there. Better yet, did you guys get this info from experience or a tutorial. If it was the latter, point me to it please.

EDIT> *I just caught site of your PM, GyroVorbis.*

What are you talking about? We aren't ignoring anything.

I personally learned from Tvspelsfreak and experience.

I don't know how he learned...
