| | GDC 2002 Playstation 2 clipping | Presentation: Playstation 2 clipping using VU microcode ( GDC 2002 )
Implementation of a fast clipping renderer optimised for triangle strips.
Example of how to use the CLIP instruction in the vector unit. | None |
| | KISS Renderer | The KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) renderer is a basic Path 1 rendering library built on top of SPS2 and intmdloader. It supports backface culling, trivial clipping and a simple parallel/ambient lighting model. A set of functions are supplied for uploading VU1 microcode, geometry and texture data. The library could be used as the basis for a game engine, or as sample code when developing your own renderer. | None |
| | Old School Games with SPS2. | I will be rewriting some old games like Pong, Pacman, Breakout and Space Invaders for example.
The purpose is to create a few more examples of using the SPS2 library.
The code needs to be well commented so beginners can understand it.
This is more a tutorial than a rewrite of games, some files might even just be examples in stead of games.
All code, graphics and sound needs to be created from scratch so the games will not be identical to their originals.
The examples does require sps2 0.4.0 or later.
Please E-mail me with questions or suggestions.

| | VU1 Microcode tutorials | If you want to enter a VU1 demo competition, like the amateur comp from 2003 (congrats to Kazan!) but have no idea how to get started, you need this microcode tutorial series!
Alternatively, if you just want to learn beginners VU coding without the hassle of integrating VU code with EE code, the VU harness might be just what you're looking for.
The on-line version has moved! It seems that my uklinux.net website has disappeared, so the VU tutorials are currently at my own site - http://paulsmith.is-a-geek.net/vututs/index.html. As a bonus, all of the separate chapters of the VU tuts are now available as PDF files - there is a link on each page. | None |
