The 7800's video architecture is almost/maybe more difficult to program than the 2600. The MARIA chip reads Display Lists from RAM, which tell it what to draw on each scanline. These can contain a combination of bitmaps and indire

Jerk (time derivative of acceleration) had an important role in the Apollo missions. It was used to compute TGO (Time-To-Go) for the lunar module's landing program. TGO is the primary variable for the quadratic function, and it is comb

I'd also suggest using jsfuzz to find sharp corners in your parser. I used it extensively for my recursive-descent BASIC interpreter (along with a test suite) and it found tons of issues.

Which used the same technique as the Apple 1 video terminal, though Woz claims not to have known about it when designing it. Probably true, because there weren't many inexpensive options for RAM besides shift registers! https:/&#

The VDP's Mode 4 was the secret sauce; it made the SMS graphics almost on-par with the NES. You still have 8x8 tiles, but with a single 16-color palette instead of four different 3-color palettes. For scrolling, the NES has 2-4 screen

I started with iOS in 2009. I wish I hadn't used Core Data, and made the decision to store lots of large binary blobs in it. Changing the schema became impossible, because the migration process often crashed or ran out of disk space in

Thanks -- we use Emscripten/WASM mainly for running command-line compilers/assemblers (like cc65 and SDCC). Right now the emulators are all in JavaScript (except for MAME) which makes integrating with the IDE's debugging tool

I use it in a web worker to compile, assemble, and link C programs into 8-bit ROMs: https://8bitworkshop.com/ I was using asm.js in the past, but WASM gives a noticeable and necessary performance boost.
