I gave a Game Boy programming workshop at SHA2017 if anyone is interested. The material can be found on my blog: http://pepijndevos.nl/2017/08/06/introduction-to-game-boy-ha...

I talked to some emulator folks recently, and apparently timing accuracy is almost an impossible to solve problem on non-ancient consoles. Funnily enough, there are some games that work on crappy emulators, but not on the accurate ones, unt

It seems to me the Raspberry Pi people have put out a lot of good work making hard things possible and transforming education. The video you posted reminded me about some of the work of Bret Victor, especially his interactive environments i

I seem to remember some similar board based on RISC, anyone know what I'm thinking of?

You might as well say it has no storage and a 30gb download folder.

The video links seem to be not loading. HN bombardment? The torrent links do work.

That's my most recent project, but I wrote a paint program and some Pokemon hacks before that.

Right, so these 10 sprites are definitely not in RAM, but in transistor logic, but at the start it has to scan 40 sprites in OAM, which means checking 80 bytes, and copying 10*4 bytes to the comparators.

What's a good explanation of Tensor Flow for someone living under a rock? I dismissed it as some machine learning library, but I read it is in fact a general computing framework. If I can use it for things like numerical integration or

How was the game boy able to do the OAM scan in 20 cycles? You need to do 2 memory reads per sprite(status and y location), times 40 is 80 reads, means 4 reads per CPU cycle.

Amazing! More or less relevant: For an university project where we made a Game Boy emulator, I wrote a presentation framework on the Game Boy itself, in which we recorded the design video: https://drive.google.com/file/

My strategy was ^[].*[^]$ where you first fill in all the first letters of the match words and then all the last characters of the skip group. Works fairly well. I'm not sure if there is a length limit, but I'm fairly sure I could

Does anyone know of any resources for doing stuff like this on ARM? I have a board with u-boot, but I can't find any information about how to do even a hello world type program.

I thought the same. But running while looking at your phone seems like a recipe for disaster. Maybe an audio game could work? Imagine a simple app that plays the coin sound when you jump.

One thing the article does not touch on is monetization options for web apps. This is where the App Store makes everything orders of magnitude easier.

To offer a different perspective: I did this with a library that's mostly used for short lived hacks, so while there are contributions from time to time, no one sticks with it for long enough to become a real maintainer. So I'm st

Pico 8 is based on Lua, so a relatively powerful CPU and lots of RAM are needed to run it.

It seems like board design is a much less monotonous and more practical task that you seemed to enjoy. What made you change to FPGA? Do you feel that the bulk of what used to be board design is now happening inside silicon? I started my car

The last time my university experimented with automated grading, every student hated it. (PerusAll) This approach looks much more sane, provided they avoid any false positives slipping into a group.
