message: So what do they do? Bundle each DVD with DirectX7 or 8? Flashn00b 16:02, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, they use the low-level libraries provided by Sony (in the case of PS2), or Sony/NVIDIA (in the case of PS3).  Anyone with any console experience knows that this is the general case for nearly all consoles.  The Xbox/Xbox 360 are the only consoles that have any crossover with PC development and use a version of DirectX. 75.37.36.218 (talk) 01:35, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Game Oriented Assembly Lisp

message: For Crash Bandicoot Gavin created GOOL (Game Oriented Object Lisp). This was a mixed interpreted and compiled LISP dialect used for all of the gameplay code in the first three Crash games. For the PlayStation 2 and Jak and Daxter, Gavin revamped this idea and created the GOAL (Game Oriented Assembly Lisp) programming language. Consequently, the game runs in a variant of LISP on the Playstation 2, instead of the more conventional C++ programming language. GOAL is a fully compiled (only native code runs on the target) full powered LISP/Scheme dialect. 95% of the runtime code in all 4 Naughty Dog Jak games was written in GOAL. The language is a full featured fully object oriented LISP variant. It does not use a garbage collector at runtime generically, but relies on a more game oriented heap system (with some garbage collection of dynamic game objects). It has a full development environment including a source level debugger, profiler, and editor (all built into Emacs!). Several features make it fairly unique. It has a full interactive listener that can dynamically compile and run arbitrary code. Any code, down to the function or constant level can be compiled and patched into a running game image. Additionally, it supports integrated inline assembly for all PS2 processors with integrated register coloring. This unique feature allows assembly, particularly vector unit assembly, to be used seamlessly in the middle of high level code. Even the extensive library of highly optimized assembly render code written for VU1 (the main vector processor) was written using GOAL.

Talk:Self-shadowing

message: The fact that the caption says that it's suggested that Doom 3 does self-shadowing admits it to be speculation, which does not belong.--Drat (Talk) 05:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image removal 

message: The Doom 3 screenshot is a bad example for two reasons:
1. The picture is an artwork that was not rendered in the engine and does not represent its capabilities.
2. Doom 3 does not officially support self-shadowing - it can be activated via a console command but does not look good (as far as I can tell due to shadows not fading out gradually over distance).
A better example would be Far Cry which officially supports and uses the feature and was also one of the earlier games to make use of it (released a few months before Doom 3).

Talk:Minolta A-mount system

message: === alpha/Maxxum/Dynax oddity ===
The whole problem with the Maxxum/alpha/Dynax branding stems from the fact that Minolta were not decided on a name of the whole system. Thus, Minolta dubbed the mount 'A' and the flashes were marketed as Maxxum/alpha flashes in America/Japan respecitvely.
When Minolta released the 7000i in 1989, they finally decided on a name of the system, 'Dynax,' under which it was to be marketed worldwide, but since names such as 'Minolta Maxxum Dynax 7000i' or "Minolta Dynax a-7000i' would have been unwieldy, they decided otherwise and marketed the system under three different names (Dynax, Maxxum and alpha).
As a result, the system did not receive a name. Unlike Canon, which started branding their cameras as 'EOS' right from the start, but unlike Nikon or Pentax, which were simply continuations of manual focus systems.
=== Differences between bodies across regions ===
As for the differences between the bodies in various regions, it goes much deeper. For example, IIRC, most companies did not include (or disabled) AF confirmation beep in the bodies released in USA because of patent issues. Some models were differently specified and were not directly comparable, and were available in different versions (colour being the most obvious) depending on region.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.153.194.14 (talk) 15:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:List of Washington initiatives to the legislature

message: I have just changed the summary of Initiative 200. The new wording comes from the official ballot title itself. This was a point of contention in the debate over the initiative in 1997 and 1998. Certain opponents wanted the ballot to state that I-200 would prohibit affirmative action. That challenge was defeated. Now, ten years later, the initiative has passed, the new law is still in effect, and so is affirmative action.
