On a cursory survey of GameFaqs as it exists now, checked the top five most recent game additions. Got semi-recent to recent games. Seems very similar to 20 years ago with slight tech additions. Still very slimmed down. Minimal load. Fa

I cannot have read that correct. For people on the Apple Dev ecosystem, do you really have no access to SDK code as a reference? Not even some high level abstraction version? I got to that assembly code part and just sat there and re-rea

I think that's what is being noted. That there's a huge list of technologies, and it would be nice if they could be sorted by some criteria (alphabetical, old->recent tech, grouped (all these are Javascript based), categories

Your tool is too effective. It actually answered our questions. Don't you know the money's in treating the symptoms? Partial joke, yet interesting to see the jump to a result (weird when they're all about bias). The sugges

This is one of the main issues in attempting to build a game like the Total War series. When you start getting into 10,000 unit formations that need to pivot or strafe, while moving around or through other unit groups and obstacles, A* star

The drone situation might be plausible. There's another product in a different area that says it's 1.63 kg and 120 mm diam x 120 mm height. Takes maybe 10 W to run. A decent full computer (not a custom chip) weighs ~3.5 kg at 1
