from 1999! Plus they probably don't even have the source anymore! A lot of game companies just never kept it!

That's impressive. Did you convert POP from 6502 to C?

Thanks, this is very cool! I've started to dip my toes into this and it's good to see it has potential.

What's your workflow? Are you mainly going after x86 targets? Are you using a plugin?

That's funny that you would bring up something you learned in school.

I think you strengthened their point.

I don't think they interpreted it correctly anyway.

That was very well said - that's how I really feel.

Non recursive approaches can help on the CPU as well. It's just easy and elegant to do function recusion but not necessarily faster.

Yeah that was a significant incident, the plane crash. I think we all know better how serious TBI can be.

That's a data point but that video is an opinion stated as a fact. You'll find others who have different results. It would be nice if there was some actual research.

It's like saying that learning Arabic is the easy part of writing a great Saudi novel. True, but you have to understand that being literate is the price of admission. Clearly you consider yourself very facile with mathematical notation

But IIRC there was some color grading gaffe because the original colors were precompensated for film ( they originally filmed the renders ) - but this lead to oversaturation and color changes in the digital renders. So in some way they did

It would be fun to step through some 8086 code at the microcode level.

So your thesis is that marketing doesn't work?

Nice, that's the optimized version - sounds actually a little different than the original one it's derived from. (actually better which I didn't expect) Original: https://dittytoy.net/ditty/24373308b4 I

At least they wouldn't have to change their name!

Can you explain why Amazon eats the cost of shipping? Are they like the "First CityWide Change Bank"? How do they make money? Answer: Volume.

I love how you fit right into the current meme that Gen-X never gets mentioned.

Oh nice, a Living Computer Museum. That would be a nice thing to have near where I live... oh wait there was one.

I did similar work on a game a long time ago and it took over a month to slim it down to 1/4 of the size but in this case 'at runtime' - the producer wasn't impressed. It looked exactly the same. I wonder if they had any

>One somewhat radical thing that LLVM-MOS does is to analyze the program's call graph, and for functions that are not used recursively it will assign parameters and local variables to zero page instead, both for speed of access and

I want to point out that the DirectX 12 Discord is a great place to get help , it also covers PIX. Yeah, I know - it's not indexed but the regular web search but nevertheless it has a lot of good information and experts from industry a

Can it be done for $20,000? Or if that's too low then multiple game studios should team up.
327.
by djmips 11mo ago
Yes, that's true and should be how good 6502 high level code would be written.

Except those #$!@# patented it. We were doing the same thing before them even going back to the Apple II. I described it to my father and he said it was an obvious technique.

Does anyone else worry about this technology used for Big Brother type surveillance?
