- Running:
It's strongly recommended to run the demo at following
setting: 640x480x32, mipmapping, TnLHal (GeForce). Setting
the resolution higher than default in some effects will not
increase the quality. The engine's setup runs when the demo
runs first time on computer. You can run the setup manually
typing "-setup" in command line. The LaCubeDX engine is
optimized for GeForce. However it runs pretty well on Riva128
too. On LaCubeDX GeForce is faster than Athlon software TnL.
- Technical
Tested under Windows 98 FE and SE and under Windows 2k Prof,
no problems found. To watch the demo you need at least DX7
(not testes under DX8beta), fast 3d card (multitexturing is
recommended, this is a common thing in all modern 3d cards),
64 megabytes of ram. Tested on following chipsets: TNT, Vanta
TNT2M64, G400, GeForce DDR and no problems found. It should
works on the most of today 3d cards. On Riva128 and Intel740
not all effects can be seen coz of no multitexturing support.
If you have any problem try to update drivers. It helps in
the most of common cases.
Anyway you can drop me a bugreport, for an email see below,
or try to find me at IRC: #polishscene, #demoscene,
#coders, #coders.pl. The engine was coding on c366@460,
Vanta but mostly on Athlon600@700 and GeForceDDR.
Everythings worked perfectly.

Update
- Update:
I have to release this small patch b'coz when I was finishing
the demo at the party place five minutes before the compo
I forgot to set one flag which makes the engine to cache
all loaded files in memory. This flag was not set. And the
demo needed about one minute to load. Now it needs on my
Athlon600 and UDMA66 Seagate about 4 seconds to load. I think
it's pretty fast. Once again: I hate party coding!!!!!
Some (visual) bugs were removed (some others were added).
There were also some problems with UPX 0.83 packer.
In this update I used UPX 1.01.
To update your version of "Time Machine" copy all files
from this package into a directory with TimeMachine.lcdx
file (from "old" TimaMachine) and run "TheDemo.exe"
- Three "Ifs":
IF this update doesn't want to work on your machine
please write to me and report the problem.
IF you want to get the newest version of the engine,
visit this page: http://lettique.go.to/
IF you want to send me an email, do it =) lettique@bigfoot.com
For bugs report, for code things, for anything...
Enjoy!
