you had me at "The laser is at an angle"

Hacksmith on YT made something

my defocus aadot doesn't play nicely with the other kids
[update: yes it does]

clevv new nebula .. without filter, technique becomes apparent

[code updated] with a slightly more intuitive approach

cool demo. weak intel gpu w/ Pixar quality effects

done a few starfields myself. nebula effect looks amazing! might have a go with starfield later using my depth-of-field sim.

thought i'd share this before i go to bed /' My fascination with high period RNGs continues. My state variable is 8 bits. I'm getting period greater than 256 with the combination of multiplier weyl xorshift looking to extend this '/ #undef int #define int as integer type rect int w, h End Type '' gr...

that FPS tho. A lot of integer with FP sprinkles. Good for us old dogs.

thanks dodicat. x128xx (xorshiro128**) mylit as ULong passes to 32 Gigs. Total Fail @ UShort I suspect it has something to do with multiplier granularity my generator-in-development doesn't trigger as many fails at 16 bits, but doesn't succeed @ 32 #include "crt.bi" randomize 0,1 type myli...

I am an bright for 2 reasons. That should read i d i o t. 1. even if I put two 16's together, the period would not be greater than one 16 bit. 2. much more simply, I could change mylit to ulong. (original post) been so long since I've used practrand. It was you and dodicat who fleshed out a FB / pra...

it's 64 bit tho right? the framework i presented is 16.

edit: so, tack 2 16's to simulate a 32. if pract passes to 4 Gigs, that's what i mean

@dafhi Why do you rewrite FB's syntax so much, your code becomes unreadable? ah okay. hard for me to tell sometimes ;) @dafhi Looking at the code further the engine, x128xx, which should run quickly calls rotl three times. rotl has an overhead - a rotl definition does not! what i meant was tack two...

one could probably reduce practrand time using a smaller literal. thanks for sharing the new generator type mylit as ushort const bit_size = len(mylit) * 8 #undef int #define int as integer #define func function #define ret return func rotl(in as mylit, amount int) as mylit ret in shl amount or in s...

I'd put my money on Melissa. If she were to release a new generator, it will put all others to shame.

MsWs is pretty awesome

practrand can test well into the exabyte range, if I remember. I think it took 4 days just for the 64T pass .. I pushed for 128T but I think it froze. Waited 4 extra days beyond the expected report time. edit: my bad. I hit 32T. I pushed for 64 edit: yep, practrand testing limit. Part 2 Section D
