Animation Studio

[Legofreak]

Yesterday I took an old creation (NIBL256) and I made an animation studio with it.

It has 16 8x8 Frames that are relatively easy to program. It runs the animation a little faster than 1 frame per second.That's 1024 bits of information in a very short amount of time.

To get there:
/warp animation
To look directly at screen:
/warp anim



One major flaw is the distance lag comparators cause. Even though I can pipeline all that info, I have to delay certain lines so all the bits line up when they hit the screen.

Man, this looks COOl rek! now we have a good way to make movies. maybe once (in like 40 years) I get my super GPU thingy done, we can connect them up. maybe. But good job! also, nice analog RAM

This is sick man Can't wait too see it in game!

it would be freaking amazing if somebody could render a 3d animation for this to display


I'm about to add a thing to trim off 1 tick of the falling edge of each pixel. I think it will only add another 1 tick of latency but it will hopefully make the lamps turn off when the next set turns on instead of after.

Nice, I'll have a look at this next time I'm in game.

Unfortunately 3D doesn't look like much on a B/W display (you'd only see the inverted shadow/silhouette of the 3d object). I guess dithering could be used if the display was large enough.

Edit: I assume by 3d you meant a wireframe. I agree a rotating wireframe cube or something would look cool.

You could build a device to calculate perspective projection: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection
