| What is it ? |
| TinyPTC is a subset library of OpenPTC, a graphics lib with many features. TinyPTC only give you an offscreen frame buffer with a colorspace of 32 bits per pixel (32rgb). "Real coder only need a frame buffer to swap!" did he says :)
According to the running machine, converters are used to, for example, display the frame buffer in a resolution with 16 bits per pixel. The library exist for DOS, Java, SDL, Win32 and X11. I bring to you the BeOS one:). Initial purposes of this lib was to give demos coder a tiny frame buffer for 64kb intros. Unfortunaly, the API of the BeOS is object, so the given example is already 30 kb :(. |

It's just a noisy image, but it's the same source between all supported platforms by TinyPTC :). |
| Library's historic |
| Current version of TinyPTC for BeOS is version 0.2. It is based on the win32-v0.8 sources. There will be no other version since nobody seem to be interresting in on doing demo for the BeOS. No feedback recieved :( [02/16/2002] Version V0.2 est enable. Some bugs fixed. You can zoom the screen using ( <ALT> - z ). [05/07/2001] Version V0.1 is enable. It has converters for 24/16/15 bits per pixel display in different formats (rgb and bgr). Most of the converters have MMX version to boost the display. The buffer is show in a window (a BDirectWindow) with the ability to swhitch in fullscreen mode ( <ALT> - f ). |
