Arrived home to some posh chocolate and a card from the @ob_sub crew. Thanks, looking forward to another good year! @ob_sub @mastbrothers Holy hell, this is amazing! Seriously sexy chocolate… my mouth is on another planet.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Tom Moertel’s tale of a great old-timey game-programming hack, it reminded me of my computer science days and assembly programming.
A long time ago, when I was a college undergrad, I spent some time working on computer video games. This was in the 8-bit PC era, so the gaming hardware was almost impossibly slow by today’s standards.
It might not surprise you, then, to learn that, back then, game programmers did all sorts of crazy things to make their games run at playable speeds. Crazy, crazy things.
