Ultim Test 1

[EdzUp]

After much key tapping and head scratching I am now ready to release a test of Ultim (not a AAA test just a basic render) its so I can glean if it works on everyones machines or not. Its attached to this post, this is written in pure OpenGL without any graphics libraries but does require OpenAL for audio . There maybe a network test in there as well its a simple connection test to see if the network is present, it doesnt connect to anything.

Its been a long time in coming mainly due to real life things taking up waaaay more time than I would like so I have about a few minutes every so often to code small segments here and there but its still moving forwards

Please read the readme file in the archive

If its not ok to post things like this here please delete this post

Graphics and sounds work fine here, specs in my sig.

[EdzUp]

Thanks for testing it

Once I know it works well I will expand on the whole thing and make a game with it

Works on an iMac (late 2013) with Bootcamp and Windows 10, too (see sig). And I had a Windows Firewall notice.

[EdzUp]

thanks Krischan, the notice is for a server test with enet I was working on. I will be rolling my own ipv6 system when I get to that stage as I have code for it already

I have tested on a eeepc 701SD with XP and it works on that too which is good

[Krischan]

Ah I understand. As long as your tool didn't hacked all my secret passwords and PINs and sent them to your server

[EdzUp]

Definitely not lol

I don't thinknow enet has that capability lol

Had a go, and well, its seems a little bit, well... Jittery, as in, the rotation of the image isnt smooth!

So much for your new system!

Yeah the timing on the system isn't in there for this test I do have timing code which makes it smooth but I haven't brought it from the old framework over to Ultimate yet.

[EdzUp]

So much for your new system!   

I admit there is loads to do but with it working on all system it has been tested on that's a good system

[Steve Elliott]

Well at least it's smooth on 1 system - mine

[Dabz]

So much for your new system!   

UNIGINE Heaven... Everything on, like, the lot ramped up... As smooooothhh as butter with plenty left to spare! hehehe

[Steve Elliott]

Yeah, what's with that EdzUp?  Just a jittery spinning 2d sprite in comparison?!

Only joking, early days lol.

I run the exe and nothing happens except I get a DebugLog file appear with this info :

This is a test

So is this

::Initialising graphics window....

*EDIT* - Tried that UNIGINE Heaven that Dabz references and that works super smooth at full HD ( wouldn't of liked to have tried that on my old 2013 iMac ).

*EDIT* - Just tried again with Windows 7 in Parallels and get exactly the same as above. weird.

Specs :

System : iMac 2017 27" Retina 5K
CPU : 3.8 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory : 32GB DDR4
GPU : Radeon 580 Pro 8GB

Tried Windows 10 ( bootcamp ) and Windows 7 ( Parallels ).
