There's not much here at the moment. I just added this section to my site hastily, so it will be padded out more in the near future.

In the mean time, here's a little utility I'm in the process of writing to help me with my games programming. Its a look-up table generator. Currently it only generates lookup tables for Sin, Cos and Tan but it will do more in the future.

It has a few nice features:

• It generates seperate arrays for each function, or it will generate one multi-dimensional array
• It generates the tables in either integer format, floating point format or fixed point format
• You can configure various options for the table:
  • The number of divisions per 360 degrees
  • The circle radius
  • The range the table is generated for (e.g. 0 - 90 degrees)
  • The table name
• Oh, and it has a groovy icon, cheerfully stolen from the icons in Visual Basic 5. No, its definitely not written in Visual Basic 5, its written in C++, I just happen to like the icon :o)

OK, so not all of the configurable bits are useful, but hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time...

Incidentally, its Win95/WinNT only (Sorry to all you Mac owners. I was going to put a link here to a Mac program that does the same sort of thing, but I couldn't find one. If you know of one, let me know). You can download it by clicking this link:
