you made a processor from scratch?
How was the silicon crystal growing process
and the pathway etching?
or what level did you work on to make that
processor, how much could it do?
I knew a guy who was into efficent
accelerated siligon growth for thak kind of stuff.

What makes a good programmer?
Look at Bill Gates. He bought DOS
off his friend and tweaked it some.
Windows is jsut a graphical
representation of DOS.
Hes worth billions, and has defined
what a successful software engineer
is: one who can make a boatload
of money selling a program that
people will want.

Graphics applications, as Graal and
video games and CAD all are,
yes they require a lot of math.
I can do matricies, remember some calculus,
trig, play with sin and cos,
deciaml-hex-octal-binary conversion,
but is there any one specific example
that you think defines a good programmer?
I think its more complex than that.

I have written reliable code,
perl scipts, that have run more
than a million times,
each one about four pages
of code for text parsing and searching
-but thats what most web code is.

Graal code for a 3-d modeling engine
looks really cool, but will it go online
in a server? How would multiple
users interact with it?

Part of good programing is using the
software development package you have
and making something practical with it
for its intended end use (multiplayer enviromnent.)

If you could port the algorithm for the 3-d engine you
made to VB or C++, then you might have something
cool that individual shareware users could have fun with.
And they couldn't see the source casue it would be compiled.

Its cool that i'm not the only one on graal
who knows what a nand gate is, heh.

And im not trying to use technical jargon,
I know exactly what i am saying and I expect
you to understand it too, being a high level programmer and
understanding lower level bitwise processing.
dosent everybody? Its fun making karnaughmaps,
finding the most efficnent binary combinations
and laying the 7400 series chips onthe breadboard,
at least I think so. what kind of building blocks
were your processor made from?
