Good to be back.As the title says, It's great to have the WOS forums back, I've been stuck in an Elvis forum for the last couple of months.<br>
Thanks to all concerned for their work.I too really like this clean look. -

I've tried posting a few things about SpecBAS (there's been a lot of activity during the WOS downtime) and one of them was a post which contained a rather large listing - and I get an error that my post is too long by about 5000 characters.
Not good ... -

Thanks Foggy. Seems that tags are broken now - http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/discussion/50401/what-s-going-on-with-specbas-then
images are showing the tags surrounding them, and some don't load!

Ah yes, that does the trick. One suggestion - youtube embeds and images don't line up. I know it's just a bit nit-picky, but can you make the images justify left? They look "odd" just hanging in the centre of the post.
Also, each post has a "quote" ... -

I like the idea of adding some color. At the lest in the info bar at the top you could put a pale background with the red yellow, green blue stripe (possibly with a subtle gradient applied) running horizontally.
Or you could do all out and invert the ... -

There's a totally useless sidebar on the main page - it's just filled with "new discussions" and stuff like that. I've gotten rid of it with adblock, but because the "new discussion" button is in there (instead of a sensible place) I'm left with a large ... -

There is just way too much wasted whitespace at present.
Speaking of whitespace I was just going to mention the "In This Discussion" links on the right of every thread... not all that useful (do we really need to know that big_plums last ... -

Brilliant. That's my gaming sorted for the whole week with Zen II. Great new puzzle shapes and things to worry about. Running 2 emulators on the same PC so that I can hear the wonderful music too. -
What's on your saucer?Thanks go out to frobush and zx1 for inspiring* this WoSser to create a yet another excellent WoS thread. Lunch 10 minutes ago. [IMG]http://i300.ph…
The new forum appears to have auto-resized all of ZnorX's saucer pictures so you can now see them on screen.
Do I need to report this as a bug?

I wonder if I've got two separate accounts tied to my e-mail address or something. Oh well, never mind -- I'll stay "unspecified" :)
EDIT: Yes - it turns out I did have. Changed the e-mail address and it now works fine. I'm officially a man. :P -

Ok, I'll start with the Raycasting engine - an amalgamation of posts from the official SpecBAS forum.

Part 2!
Fully texture mapped (on the walls, at least - floors and ceilings are a lot more processor-intensive!). Should be able to create a decent clone of Wolfenstein with this code as the foundation...

And finally Part 3!
Here's the full engine with floor and ceiling rendering:

It's ... slow. Where SpecBAS could help enormously with vertical texture strips for the walls, floors can't be done ... -

Bad or not works great on other forums:

Yeah, it's a copy/paste from the SpecBAS forum. Shame. Ah well.

I'll think about it, but the demos archive is getting quite big now. Here's the current crop - have fun:

Great work getting the forums back.

I've had an X360 for ages, then I got a Wii U when it came out. I stuck with it over a year and it's pretty cool for some things, but I was frustrated by the lack of games for it. (Plus it's in the front room, so hard to get on and do some gaming when ... -

BTW, noticed an oddity when scrolling a discussion page. The avatar icon on the top seems to get displaced to the left when it's near the forum banner. -

Second the comment about the home button not being where it should. Top left should always be "World of Spectrum" and should take you to the home page. -

I absolutely hate the new look of the forums, which means they are probably better,
But I do wish/hope there is going to be a retroWOS option -

THANK YOU all involved in bringing the WOS forum back! In can only imagine what a sh*tload of work it must have been.
Great to be back, and to see so many familiar names already.
