Let me know if you are interested in doing free work on the Temple Operating System. http://www.templeos.org - http://www.templeos.org It is 640x480 16 color. 1) Download VMware Player https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/5_0 - https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/5_0 You might want Player V4.0 instead of V5.0 if you want sound to work. 2) Download TempleOS ISO file http://www.templeos.org/TempleOSCD.ISO - http://www.templeos.org/TempleOSCD.ISO 3) Create a VMware machine and set the CD-ROM to point to TempleOSCD.ISO 4) Install 5) Look around at the art in all the demos and games and think about which ones you could improve.  Send me an email mailto:tdavis@templeos.org - tdavis@templeos.org . I'll need to buy you WinImage for $50 to get files in and out of VMware. http://www.winimage.com/winimage.htm - http://www.winimage.com/winimage.htm

You can make a BMP file with MSPaint and save it as 16 color. Then, if you have WinImage or VMware professional, you can import it into TempleOS. >Type("Filename.BMP"); It will appear on the command-line. You want to put it on the clip-board so you can paste it into source code. Type() puts an extra $FU$$BU$ after the $SP,"",1$ Toggle with CTRL-T and delete the extra $FU$$BU$ then toggle back, carefully put it on the clipbpard by shift-cursor over it and CTRL-C, CTRL-V.

| Why not use the BIOS (at boot only) to enter a more powerful 32-bit colored mode, maybe 800*600 to begin with? The 16 color/text mix is really killing all interest for this OS - which seems cool otherwise. |

The reason for 640x480 16 color is without GPU support, you can't do 60 fps games. There's a very good reason why computers have GPUs. Also, God said 640x480 16 color. It's His temple. God says... 12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? 12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. God is the silver Bush. The method for making silver goes back to ATARI. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0MsDl39UL0 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0MsDl39UL0

Nor those verses, nor silver has any connection to ATARI, computers, or graphics. You do realize that?
I'm pretty sure that a VESA mode of 640*480 - just for the extra colors - would be worth what little you loose in FPS. And I also belive that you experience much lower FPS on a daily basis by watching TV in like 24 frames/second. Or let me put it this way. God told me that your OS will never be accepted with that 80's graphics. There you have it. |
