No one, ever, uses centiseconds in this context.
- tom_ 3mo agoCentiseconds was one of the ways time was measured on the BBC Micro. Your convenient options for accurately measuring the passage of time were vsyncs (50/sec), centiseconds (100/sec), microseconds (1,000,000/sec), or cycles (2,000,000/sec).
- jamesrandall 3mo agoIt's actually in the commented original disassembly and used in some of the original BBC documentation / writing. Which is how it ended up here - the article is a mix of things I wrote and things I asked an AI to write for me from the notes / findings from the archaeolgy.
- nnevatie 3mo agoOk, that makes sense. I was commenting from a modern gamedev context.
- jamesrandall 3mo agoThe weird world of retro game archaeology - it's genuinely fascinating.
