Even in code where performance is a serious concern, you don't need to feel guilty about using a data structure that is an array of pointers to 4 kbyte chunks or a tree of such chunks. 4K is linear enough that using a completely flat a

I’d bet the DS is the most advanced game console where it is still possible for a person to productively program it entirely via the bare metal memory map. As in: using an “SDK” that’s just a C header full of struct and array definitions at

Agreed. I’ve done trivial obfuscation for games. In my observation, if you make it trivial to hack your game, huge numbers will trivially hack it. If you make it even slightly non-trivial, the numbers decrease exponentially. The more you wa

According to that chart 2021 was anomalously low and it has been linearly returning to normal for the past four years. AFAICT, the general populace is anxious about AI. So, the news knows they can get clicks with “You are right to be afraid

There are applications that are currently doing this without hardware support and accepting much worse than 95% performance loss to do so. This hardware won’t make the technique attractive for ALL computation. But, it could dramatically inc

Same same. When I was a young, single nerd I would happily spend a weekend coding in my cave. Now I do fun code on a laptop on the sofa with my family. I’m only typing in tiny breaks between socializing and I’m still getting lots of fun stu

Also new: Obsidian joins the CLI gang https://help.obsidian.md/cli I’ve been having a lot of fun recently using AI CLIs with Obsidian. No plugins necessary because it’s just a directory tree of markdown files.

As a game engine dev, if I have an asset management app, it’s pretty reasonable that it might load the list of asset names and hashes before doing the significant work of decoding/generating thumbnails. This could give the app instant

"list" here does not refer to a "linked list". In more academic circles, a "list" referes to any linear container. Such as a Python List. In practice, C++ vtables are effectively structs containing function poi

In gamedev it takes 7-10 years before you can require a new tech without getting a major backlash. AMD came out with AVX2 support in 2015. And, the (vocal minority) petitions to get AVX2 requirements removed from major games and VR systems

The magic is that now you can modify the source code of the game and recompile that. Folks have been optimizing SuperMario64 to run much faster on actual N64 hardware. And, there is a project that has ported it to run on the PlayStation 1.

Hey! I can speak here. Back in the day, I wrote a simulator for the PS2’s vector units because Sony did not furnish any debugger for them. A month after I got it working, a Sony 2nd party studio made their VU debugger available to everyone…

Photogrammetry has been around for a long time now. It uses pretty much the same inputs to create meshes from a collection of images of a scene. It works well for what it does. But, it's mostly only effective for opaque, diffuse, solid
