Been busy optimising the wavelet-code (but not really getting anywhere… hand-made assembly for the bit-encoding gains 20-30% max). Even busier playing “Ikaruga” and “Animal Crossing” (US Import as it probably won’t come out in Europe)…
Updated the wavelet-code to version 2.6. What’s new? Speed… 😉
I essentially added a new data-independent error-estimator (“Approximate” in the GUI) and optimised the wavelet-transforms (MMX-code) and lots of other bits and pieces… Complete Package. Demo-Page.
Finished “Legend of Zelda – The Wind Waker” yesterday (after about 50h of play-time). Excellent game, very much reminded my of a Miyazaki film…
<sniff> Amazon shipped my copy of “Legend of Zelda – The Wind Waker” too late and I’ll only get it *after* the bank-holiday weekend. NOT FAIR!
