- jasonkester 15y agoThat's awesome. It's amazing how much we could actually do back in the days of Netscape and IE version 4 and below. Performance on the machines of the day was actually better than modern HTML5 stuff on modern hardware because the DOM was so much simpler and tuned toward performance. I could actually watch the little games I made using DIVs/LAYERs and pixel art images slow down during the 2000s as new browsers came out. It's only now, with quad core processors that they're back up to the speed they used to run on a Pentium.
- owenmarshall 15y agoI had a similarly amusing moment years back when I saw a bit-blit demo in the browser. All this excitement about something that was state of the art on Commodore 64s. (And yes, I do understand how the ubiquitous nature of the web actually makes this important... but I still find it funny!)
- aerotrain 15y agoAha! this is amazing. Is there a web interface to upload and try ?
- ssdsa 15y agoSorry, but I didn't create any web interface for that back in 1997. :-) Instead, I wrote a C program to generate those HTML files. More information on that is here: http://home.wtal.de/ss/html/pnmtohtml/pnmtohtml.html http://home.wtal.de/ss/html/pnmtohtml/pnmtohtml.html - Sorry, in German. Maybe Google translate might be of some use: http://translate.google.de/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fhome.wtal.de%2Fss%2Fhtml%2Fpnmtohtml%2Fpnmtohtml.html http://translate.google.de/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl...
