Euclid<br />

ACE Computing<br />

£45.00 inc VAT <strong>and</strong> p&p<br />

Euclid is a three-dimensional 'object<br />

processor' system specially written <strong>for</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Archimedes range. It is supplied as<br />

a relocatable module <strong>and</strong> a suite of<br />

programs written in BASIC.<br />

This package consists of a module<br />

<strong>and</strong> a utility program, <strong>the</strong> latter written<br />

in BBC BASIC. The system has been<br />

designed to be fast <strong>and</strong> simple to use<br />

from BBC BASIC <strong>and</strong>/or ARM<br />

machine code.<br />

A straight<strong>for</strong>ward SYS statement,<br />

with a parameter block set up with <strong>the</strong><br />

aid of <strong>the</strong> Module, is used to project<br />

<strong>the</strong> 3-D display. Features of <strong>the</strong> system<br />

include orthogonal or perspective<br />

projections, line or surface drawing,<br />

full hidden surface removal, simple<br />

lighting effects, instant scene <strong>and</strong><br />

object trans<strong>for</strong>mations, intersecting<br />

<strong>and</strong> concave surface polygons (up to<br />

256 sides).<br />

The utility program allows<br />

interactive design of object libraries. It<br />

doubles up as a st<strong>and</strong>ard 'flight<br />

simulator', allowing you to fly around<br />

<strong>and</strong> manipulate your designs.<br />
