DFB1 support added to SV030 Voxel Sandbox

Post by dml »

The latest build added DFB1 support. It's not awesomely faster than vanilla 030 because it is still very much DSP-bound and stram-bound - but is faster enough to be worth it IMO.

Seriously, do you sleep @dml ?

Totally stoked seeing all the progress. I've been messing around with the version 1.02 and should be putting out a YT video on it hopefully tonight.

Not sure if anyone has experimented with this yet - but try jumping in the water from a couple of blocks up, or placing down some snow and walking over it :p

I set this up and, after being amazed at the smoothness (and in VGA too!) wasn't sure what you were getting at here.

Then I twigged and plugged in some speakers! :lol:

The crunching is very therapeutic. Rather better than Midwinter's SFX, I have to say. ;)

Fantastic stuff, Doug. Really superb!
