Looks like .NET is a good candidate for extending my 3D work, although of course it’s still many, many orders of magnitude slower than using accelerated 3D hadware. Still, a quick port of my Java code over to VB.NET yields a much higher framerate for the same level of detail as the former, which opens the door for more techniques to be tried (like texturing). And that’s all without any significant optimizations to the .NET version of the code. I do like the increased simplicity of the .NET framework - it makes life a lot easier for me. Perhaps it’s time to truly retire from programming in aging VB6.
ZoomCityZoom (Tom) of Whizbangdesigns has announced on AVRFreaks his intentions to make breakout boards for the USBKEY’s tiny .5mm header pins. That’s good news for me, as it would allow me to connect up my peripherals without having to solder/desolder each time. I’ll hold off connecting up my Trackpad which I bought off eBay a few weeks ago until I have the breakouts soldered to the USBKey.
