I haven't been especially anxious to see bettas. What I'm really looking forward to are betas. ;-)

Jim Sachs · 08-05-2003, 05:48 PM

Yep, too big.

IXNAY · 08-10-2003, 02:47 AM

Any news to post Jimboy?

Tiny Turtle · 08-10-2003, 04:35 AM

Jimboy?!

GreenHsiF · 08-14-2003, 08:59 PM

is the freshwater aquarium halfway finished?

Jim Sachs · 08-15-2003, 01:15 AM

Is antigravity halfway finished? What IS halfway? I'm currently lost in the woods doing the DirectX 8 conversion. I'd be very happy if I could get something to show up on the screen, instead of 500 compiling errors.

IXNAY · 08-15-2003, 02:33 AM

Sounds like really boring work, but you'll do it master

I remember my computer prof used to say, it is easy to fix 500 errors than to fix 1 error....So keep the faith and keep trying...

Jim Sachs · 08-20-2003, 01:28 PM

From my experience, it's 500 times as hard to fix 500 errors as one error.

I am actually able to get the program to compile and run now, but still can't get anything to show up on the screen.

IXNAY · 08-20-2003, 03:08 PM

No thats wrong

in business management at university I learned that you get more efficient the more of the same tasks you do. I don't want to write the equation in here.
Hope you get quicker and quicker with fixing errors

Sergiales · 08-20-2003, 03:14 PM

From my experience, 499 compilation errors are due to the previous one

just kidding

Take all the time you need Jim, and keep up the good work.
We all expect a really cool product from you!.

Error#1 - The sound won't play. Fixed by switching from DirectMusic to DirectSound, linking to different libraries, converting sound file from ADPCM compression to raw format, and rewriting all the sound calls.

Error#2 - Nothing shows up on the screen. Working on this now. The fact that I already had the experience of fixing error#1 is not speeding things up in the slightest.

drfish · 08-20-2003, 03:38 PM

How's the tank you're modeling this thing after looking? As nice as it was when you first showed it to us? Do you add fish (or plants for that matter) to it as you create them for the screen saver, or will it always be fishless? I've got the impression you only work from pictures and maybe videos to make your models, but it seems like it'd be nice to have a small red shark in the tank next to your computer while you're trying to digitize it... Having a fish in it would make keeping it in the same pristine condition we saw it in difficult though. Anyway, just curious...

Jim Sachs · 08-20-2003, 03:49 PM

Still just plants and rocks. Some of the plants have died and others have grown rampant. Needs an overhaul.

IXNAY · 08-21-2003, 09:20 AM

Uhm what about releasing FAaN?
