I took this same port (SDL Sopwith) and ported it to Gamecube a number of years back [1]. It was surprisingly not that hard to do. As you said, most of the work was in the porting to SDL. The guy who did the SDL port was Simon Howard, by

I thought about going but wasn't sure if it was actually happening or not. There were almost no updates on the website, Facebook, or Twitch in the time leading up to it and during the weekend. This is actually the first confirmation I&

It also had other 4-color RGB modes other than magenta, cyan, white, and black, but that was the most commonly used one back in the day (even though it looked terrible IMO). For example, here's a game (Kings Quest II) where they used t

I was at a retro barcade not too long ago and came across an old Centipede machine. Maybe this machine just had a really good CRT in it, but the level of intense brightness against the pitch black background was honestly sort of mesmerizing

Maybe it's just because I'm old and grumpy and have seen lots of things come and go, but I don't understand how some frontend devs even have this much time to obsess over their tools. It would be like car guys spending more t

A lot of it isn't actually news at all: it's news entertainment. It's very similar to how professional wrestling isn't real wrestling, but actually 'wrestling entertainment'. I call this the 'WWE-ification

I was at an airshow years ago. The whole thing was interrupted at one point because a commercial airliner in the vicinity had to make an emergency landing at the airport that the airshow was being held at due to an engine problem. The plan

In addition, a lot of the lower-end CGA monitors at the time didn't have real great native resolution (i.e. the 'dot pitch'). They would generally be fine for playing games in low res mode, but not that great for doing busin

They could but AM signals have a much larger range compared to FM. FM is mostly line-of-sight - AM signals aren't because they get bounced off the upper atmosphere back to the ground.

I had a similar experience at a doctor's office in my city. I was actually somewhat shocked to see ads in the actual patient room - it was an immediate turn-off. I've since found another doctor.

I think the problem wasn't the talc itself, but that it was contaminated with asbestos in the process of mining the talc and turning it into talcum powder. So presumably it's been addressed through closer monitoring, but the artic

It's true that there was never a true reconciliation after the war. But that being said, I don't agree that giving in to sectionalism is the answer. We have more in common most of the time than the news entertainment industry woul

Your comment isn't entirely relevant to the subject of the article. The article is about how the US fertility rate is at about 1.6 now. That's not enough to keep the population from shrinking. That's the author's point

I don't share your experience that work politics have to be a fact of life, but I've worked at mostly smaller companies (non start ups). I think it's probably harder to form cliques at a smaller company where there's le

They're switches, and it looks like it's set to mSv/h based on your English overlay. So 11.37 mSv/h, or .01137 Sv/h - about 4 1/2 times the level of the typical background radiation.

Don't think so. There's clearly the beginning of a while loop near the top of the obfuscated version. There's no loops at all in the 'de-obfuscated' version.

I think hitting F5 and using the arrow keys in-game should allow you to decrease the size of the gameplay window to try to increase performance. You might try that if you haven't already...

It's as if nobody's learned anything from the 'self-driving car' boondoggle of the last 20 years or so. Any problem can seem easy when you don't know the things you don't know.
