WOW!
WOW!
Four + hours on a 1.13G Mobile P3/512M and it's still stuck!
May never finish...
The secret trick is to make the window bigger
The proteins seem to work out best when you set the display to 80x50. I haven't noticed any advantage setting it beyond 50 lines.
The current one although very fast, doesn't get very complex. Mine were taken from the month-long one. I managed to catch those three. Lately I've been using dfGUI to hid the window though.
Best,

Just because it looked interesting... =)

Wow, you got lucky. I haven't seen any near that complex with the current one although I haven't been watching as much.

Okay...so I'm new and know nothing. This gets me one free stupid question...how do you get such big molecules????

..how do you get such big molecules????
every structure generated is totally random
so one minute you might get a tiny piece of garbage, next minute lady luck shines on you and you get a big whopper that takes many minutes to complete, those are the "good" ones, or better ones anyway
Use the right tool for the right job!
Wow! I'll wait with baited breath for one of those monsters.Originally posted by FoBoT

Here's hoping one drops my way soon.
I asked what speed processor because I think that this large stuff is producecd by low speed processors. They tick off ascii indicating they are working however slow the processor and the processor takes a forever so more ascii. I rarely get much with 1.6 to 2.0 ghz processors. Then I had better be waiting and fast on the screen capture.

That doesn't seem right... It appears as I watch it that each time it counts an AA it creates the "path" and the AA. If it gets 'stuck' and has to backtrack - that's when you see lots'a paths.
But I may be misobserving.
Funny you should mention that. I was noticing myself that my Celeron 333 draws much larger molecules than either of my PIII 800, or my P4 1.6Originally posted by muttley

Wonder if that's the key?
The size, as Jodie says, depends only on how much backtracking occurs. The ASCII protien takes one step for every AA it places, plus an extra step when it backtracks (but still steps forwards on your screen). So doesn't matter how fast or slow, just how much backtracking it does.

The reason it may seem a slower CPU does it more is that it takes more time for the little colored worm to get around your screen so you're more likely to catch her when she's confused. =)

P.S. maybe Howard can make a nibbles game out of it! Has nothing to do with the project but might sure be fun as heck...LOL

I keep looking every once in a while to see, but so far my worms have all been trailblazers.
All of the screenshots shown are of proteins folded in the past; Some of those proteins them were more eager to fill the screen with nice graphs then the last few ones. So it's almost impossible to view such screenshots with the current protein.Originally posted by Tyrfang

Guess I can stop waiting with baited breath then...Man now I'll have to go back to work just for something to do!Originally posted by wirthi

The phrase is "with bated breath". It means "anxiously".
Hmmm...I see you are correct. Bated as an archaic contraction of abated...almost out of breath with extreme anticipation. At least I didn't misuse the metaphor.
Hehehe...I got one!Originally posted by Tyrfang

Hi, fellow folders,
Tonight my Folding client seemed to go crazy, drawing a protein that filled its screen. I was sure it was a bug, and was ready to report it.
Then I peeked in here and saw all the outrageously big proteins. (Mine was only about 1/3 as big as that biggest one.) Thanks for the reassurance.
By the way: If you like wacky, scientific-looking computer graphics (and don't we all?), take a look at the new, free screensaver I just wrote. It's compatible with the DOS Folding client.

Hey, that's a great idea---a meaninglessly-busy sci-fi-movie-style interface for DF! I'm up for it. I always thought the DF screensaver made too much sense.
Yeah, add just a little sense with a whole load of nonsense related to the DF client. Better yet, maybe different themes... heh. =)

Yeah, I know [sigh].. Server problems. I've gone through two of 'em now. It should be back online in a couple of days.
Meanwhile, if anyone wants a copy, email me: ander5151 at the domain of yahoo.com. Be advised that the setup file is 1.2 MB, which swells to 1.6 MB as an email attachment.
Now its saying you aren't even on their servers! =/

I love my retro sci-fi screen saver SO much I won't tell others where I got it!
Just kidding.
It is great

How do you get them this big????
and what does ASCII stand for??Is there soem kind of special client i need to download???
You adjust the size of the command-line box that the client is running in. The client will use all the area of the box it finds itself running in.How do you get them this big????
ASCII is just the text encoding --- actually stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. And it includes many shapes (such as these) as well as letters & numbers. This can be produced by any of the clients listed on the DF download page EXCEPT the screensaver.and what does ASCII stand for??Is there soem kind of special client i need to download???
Many of us hard-core types don't run with this stuff being displayed 'cause it slows down the processing somewhat. Or only do it on one or two machines out of many.
