Matrix Code (like the Movie The Matrix) for PSP

[lostjared]

Screen Shot of running on PC



this was made in a matter of a hour today when I was bored to try and write something fun to play around with my MxFont editor.
I know this isnt the matrix font, but You could draw one with the editor
(Im to lazy at the moment)

Includes build for PSP and PC

so this is a running code sort of like starfield? and im guessing this is lua?

EDIT: once the code consumes the whole screen there is some slowdown but its cool none the less - and it dont use lua

[lostjared]

Yeah I keep having problems with the frame rate when I try to manualy plot the pixels ..
It works fine on the PC, but the PSP it slows down a little. Do you have any Ideas on how to increase the frame rate? hmm.. I think it might be the SDL implementation for PSP...
maybe i should use plain old PSPSDK tell me what you think..

i would not know the first thing about programming for the psp - i have never given it a try and most likely never will - i just let that to the professionals - and it seems like YOU are quickly becoming one )

you could always give it a boost by increasing the cpu frequency from 222 to 333

Small Bug Fix

Im new to PSP Development I barley got mine about 2 weeks ago.. So I didnt know that you could increase the CPU Frequency .. but ill look into that, thanks for the heads up

[lostjared]

I updated the 0.1 to fix a bug in the editor (heh I changed some of the code to make the font and forgot to change it back) also included some example fonts to use with the program.

[lostjared]

If anyone could create a matrix like font Id really apperciate it... Until than its just Courier New

[lostjared]

just some neat little effects to go behind the scrolling text
runs a little sluggish on the PSP .. I need to figure out how to change the CPU Frequency.. Im workin on it @ the moment..

hey Lostjared can u PM me on what you do to port games so effing fast lol

#include <psppower.h>

scePowerSetClockFrequency (222, 222, 111);

call that in your main() or whenever you want to change the clock, the first var is the cpu, 2nd is the media engine and third is the GPU....not sure if you are using gpu accelerated functions, but if so raise the 1st and 3rd value...first value goes to 333 and i'm not positive what the GPU runs at max, but I think it's 166

Also I think the matrix font is mainly just japanese, so if you could print out words in harrigana (??) it would look very similar...also i'm going to be a nit picker and say you should have "strings" that are in the background a slightly darker green to give the illusion of depth...farther back the string is, make it a darker green....if you wanted that added "umph"....cool stuff so far tho man, graphics demos are always cool and something I could never do

Yeah tell me too!

I've done it, added the overclocking code.. its not a great deal faster but it is a noticeable speed difference.
Maybe if you change the resolution to 480x272 or 240x136 it would speed up a little..

ok ive fixed it thanks to you man

[lostjared]

Here it is.. Runs pretty good now that I changed the res and the Clock Frequency..

[lostjared]

I love to code.. thats how I do it fast..

[lostjared]

Ok I took your advice and added a effect for the text colors .. they fade..

check it out actually runs full speed...
