Elite 40th Anniversary – Source code release
- dbrueck 2y agoA lot of happy memories playing this game on a knockoff Apple II+. To this day it's still impressive to me that they got 3D wireframe rendering (with hidden line removal!!) working on a 1 Mhz 6502 chip - that thing doesn't even have multiply and divide instructions.
- outofpaper 2y agoAnd the NES version is bonkers, using sprites to render the vector graphics.
- gabrielsroka 2y agoThe 6502 has shift left and right.

- parlortricks 2y agoOh excited to see the NES and unfinished SNES code. This will help my learning.
