You got a quite nice set, I like your wooden things. This is mine... Custom built getting the PCB and the components separately... the keyboard is also quite hand-made. I'd like to get the jukebox board... it makes it far more useable, now I use the cassette interface reading the audio files...

Well... I had some advance... I used the QuickDraw primitives to paint polygons, and used it for my 3d render project. I have lots of issues related to memory management... I need to see how can I solve it, but with very big models I have crashes. But happy so far. Now I need to learn how to...

I also had best and fastest results painting every 20-30 minutes with cream, but I use it 50% diluted in water. But I'm a bit wary about using this on the most valuable items... for that I use submersion and UV LEDs, it's much slower, but I feel like I have more control on it.

Thanks for your tests! I think I managed to find the issue, which was initially because the variable initialisation was not working as I expected, and I also caught a couple of typos I made. Now I have it quite stable. I'll share all the code later, when it's cleaner. I'm curious about the...

Thanks. I think I know what's going on. It's some problem with variable initialisation. I'll open a new thread if I keep having issues.

Yes, but it’s OOP and this involves several files… sharing only a part of the code would be confusing. if I don’t identify the issue I’ll extract the code and make a simpler demo that only draws the cube.

Thanks. Only the File/New option should work by now. What happens if you resize the window several times? Does it show something like the capture above?

Hi guys, I'd appreciate if some of you can try to run something in a real Mac. These days I'm travelling and using Basilisk to follow the study group, and I have very weird behaviours, and I'd like to know if it's because the emulation, or is the compiler, or it's my code. I'm trying to apply...

I also think it’s safer to use a resistor… what is unclear to me is what is the right value to use.

Yes, that's it. The right place is always the mounting screw of the CRT, where the ground cable also goes. The discussion that is going around is that discharging the CRT using other ground point such as the chassis could fry components.

Now I think I have the setup I'd like to use for this... Although I have it with Symantec C++ 7 installed... I guess I'll run into trouble following the book at some point, and I'll have to install something older.

Wow... I wasn't neither aware this can happen... now it's scary...

Good to know! Txs.

ok ok, it was then a mis-informed guessing, as I saw in the headers declarations all as "EXTERN PASCAL" and pascal-like type declarations. I guess they formatted the toolkit libraries to be accessed from Pascal.

Pascal could have been a good choice for the “retro” reasons, as it was the language used initially and the Toolkit actually was made in Pascal. I learnt Pascal after Basic and before C, but I still think C is the right choice… well, I prefer C++ actually, but starting this exercise with C is...

I tried Amend and it has an issue so it only works with short file names. Hopefully this will be solved before we have to use it.

I used this link to the Garden. It's 6.0.1, but it contains an IMG file with TC pre-installed. I need to re-read the intro of the book, but here you go!

I think the pre-made image has Symantec C++ 6, not ThinkC 6. Is this OK to follow the book?

I twist the caps and I never had any issue… I take the precaution to press down while twisting, never pulling up.

I just found this page. It seems that three floppies were included: But if someone can confirm it would be nice.
