I don't see need to operate on values such as (x+sx). And honestly don't understand your formula. I use next values: ; We need 4 byte to be precalculated before IRQ interrupt: scroll_top: .byte 0 ; Top (9-th) bits of X and Y shifted by 2 bits left (%0000YX00) - we'll write them in PPU_ADDR in 1st st...

Title says: "WONDERFUL WORLD OF PROGRAMMING"

If a program applies the strategy pattern to process a record based on a property of that record that selects a strategy, it's object-oriented. Typical C++ polymorphism is based on the single (hidden from programmer) field of object - pointer to array of virtual functions pointers (VTBL). That is C...

But OOP can add and modify UNKNOWN objects I don't know what language you're programming with, but all objects are known. Whether you reference them through some base class in the chain or the exact derived class - it's known . No, object is unknown in essential sense. You know it's class only. Not...

I doubt Ronian53 is an AI. He's slightly too advanced. Inability to answer questions and take a meaningfull participation in topics created make me suspicious that bot just posts some array of strings and nobody on that side sees what is going later. Why bot? Because some day it needs to edit all p...

As for the thread thing, Ronian's constant thread making makes me think we should have a single thread where you ask the questions you have about consoles and computers there.

...named 'Bots can ask here'.

Someone added raytracing into a SNES chip.

Did you see this video? It has some clues.

Did you watch the video? British accent, "SNEZZZZZ", named Ben Carter... I'd say he's probably a gaijin. "Shironeko" isn't a Japanese name AFAIK; it just means "white cat".

My first language isn't english and I do not know japanese at all, so I had no chances to recognize these things.

Great job! I want to repost one of comments under ArsTechnica article ( https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/12/the-super-est-superfx-an-unmodified-snes-revved-up-with-ray-tracing/?comments=1&unread=1 ) guai2k One small curiosity: the photo caption cites Carter as a "Japanese engineer," while his own...

What is it that makes indie devs want to do procedurally generated games so much?

Absence of time to do every game aspect including game map.

Procedural fwrite(f, ...); OOP f->write(...); That be it. :lol: And this is real: chaos with understanding and explaining of OOP do really leads to such misinpretations (I belive you make a joke of it). They say: 'Decompose task to objects and methods and (tada!) OOP appears.'. But objects and acti...

Let's take another example: suppose we write cross-platform program which requires graphic output. And we decide to write graphic output library to video screen. To cover all platforms we make some object (I will use very abstract syntax): struct screen ... and bunch of functions to it: put_pixel ( ...

And then, if in the middle of the development, you want to update the main procedure, it'd affect only the recipes and the behaviour of specific objects, not all of them. This is critical if, say, you maintain a game codebase, or a SDK and want to add features without breaking compatibility, while ...

So, I think that if you put pointer to procedure 'handler' in the array of monsters - you may end up in OOP.

A lot of a lot was said and written about OOP as paradigm, as way of thinking, as trinity of sacred postulates... but a lot time ago I think I saw quintessence of it in it's the only essential core. And this can be described easily without tons of books and articles. Primary enemy in understanding O...
