earth demo

 [1/18] from: roland:hadinger:arcor at: 10-Mar-2003 6:01


Greetings :) think you might enjoy this: http://home.arcor.de/roland.hadinger/rebol/fun/planet.r This demo/app/whatever needs REBOL/view 1.2.8+ and a fast CPU (>1 GHz). I'm fairly new to this language, although I've quickly become addicted to it, so there's almost certainly room for improvement... My rebsite is at http://home.arcor.de/roland.hadinger/rebol/index.r -- Roland

Hi Roland, Very cool demo! I tried it on 500Mhz Celeron and the speed is acceptable even on this machine. Demo or Die! ;) Cyphre

Do you mean View kernel improvements? Well, some time ago we held discussion here upon what should View evolve into. Many users expressed their will to see more multimedia capabilities (so speed generally), as we can see potential of View becoming Flash competitor. RT said they have to think about it (IIRC kind of View plug-in capability was mentioned) ....We don't know the answer yet, but maybe you could express what you would like to see improved anyway?

Ah, your effects demo is cool as well! Man you are View talent - now Cyphre and Oldes have their competition :-) cheers, -pekr-

Great rebsite, and the demos looks so nice! Nice REBOL quiz too. I didn't go though it all, but here's a little feedback on the dump-obj question - you can get a block of information from an object using FIRST or SECOND or even THIRD. But beware of third when you do something like: obj: context [ a: 1 b: 'a ; <-- Third loses the ' ] third obj Regards, Brett.

Good test, because I discovered things that I didn't know in answering the questions, and remembered things half-forgotten. (I got 93, by the way.) Anton.

Well done, nice designs and graphics on your site. Anton.

Hi Roland, Wow! Great demo and other great stuff on your site. You have an eye for creating things with a very polished look. Your gel and alphamul examples are terrific too! Thanks very much for posting! -- Gregg

It only used 30 percent of my cpu steady on AMD Althon XP 1700. Paul Tretter

Hello Roland Can you tell me why there is a difference between running PlanetEarth on a 650 Athlon and a dual Athlon 1.7.On my 650 box when I click on errru it just prints errru on the image but on my dual Athlon box when I click on errru it brings up an arrow gadget and when I click on the arrow gadget I get info about you/location/and web page?I know that you said that you need a fast cpu but did not mention that it would behave differently? Just curious! Regards -- Follow the tradition that's been followed for centuries -- Die! -- Unknown sent via Yam ver2.31 on AmigaForever verV Be a Rebel get Rebol@ rebol.com UIN#=9391028

competitor. Ah, don't you think the better part of most Flash intros is the "skip intro" button? It's popular because few have figured that out. Sure I want to have animation, antialiased elements, gradient and texture fills, etc. But does that render my programs superior? These things are just the icing on the cake. What really bugs me is that REBOL does not integrate into browsers, though.

Hi Brett,
> Great rebsite, and the demos looks so nice!
So this one doesn't fill the much-needed gap of ugly defunct rebsites? Oops ;)

I didn't author the questions, the quiz uses the reflexive power of REBOL. Basically it's 'help, just the other way around :) -- Roland

Hi Alan,

Most probably different versions of planet.r? I did some changes last sunday. -- Roland

Alan: I just tried it (314am Tues), and when I click the dot, I get the arrow which contains all the data you mentioned. As mentioned in my previous post, I'm running a 450MHz AMD.

Hey Roland!
> Greetings :) > > think you might enjoy this: > http://home.arcor.de/roland.hadinger/rebol/fun/planet.r
You know, I'm running an AMD K6-2 450MHz 448MB RAM, and it's quite nice. Beautifully done. Though I have to say this much, that considering it's all black, and the globe's transparent, I get confused sometimes, as to which way it's rotating. Or does it actually change direction?
> My rebsite is at http://home.arcor.de/roland.hadinger/rebol/index.r
Some spiffy demos you got there! I'm afraid I didn't get far in the quiz; I'm not that familiar with REBOL yet ;) --Charles

slower than my 650 yet it shows the arrow button.Just curious!

Can this be run with the freely downloaded Rebol? When i try and run it I get ** Script Error: as-pair has no value ** Where: context ** Near: boxsize: as-pair 2 * radius0 The info from when I start up Rebol is as follows...

I would suggest to try with the latest View 1.2.8 prerelease : http://www.reboltech.com/downloads/ For windows: view1208031.exe For Linux: view1208042.tar.gz Regards, Laurent Bryan Muir wrote:

Hi Bryan, Regarding: { When i try and run it I get ** Script Error: as-pair has no value ** Where: context ** Near: boxsize: as-pair 2 * radius0 } You can easily add the functionality into older view versions with the following: as-pair: func [ "Combine X and Y values into a pair." x [number!] y [number!] ][ to-pair reduce [to-integer x to-integer y] ] James.
