@jason I hardly remember that movie anymore. Was it any good? 😅

@movq No don't recall the model sorry 😢 Nut it had a 10MB internal hard disk, 640kB of RAM, 3.5" floppy drive, monochrome display and a full keyboard 😆

@prologic A laptop? Wow, those were a very rare sight over here back then. (And they were often shrugged off as “nobody needs this anyway”. 😂) I guess you don’t remember the specific model?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a C64 in person. 🤔 Maybe our school had some, but I don’t remember. 😅

I got Revolution os dvd (its a linux movie) from ebay. It came with some custom cut of the movie. The dvd has some extra things that are not in the regular movie like interviews. Going to have to watch it all.
@movq My first machine was an XT Laptop but my father had a 286 Desktop years before that I played around with when I was quite young. My friends had a Commodore 64

Watched these lovely videos today:

(There are two more.)
The guy is restoring an IBM PS/2 Model 30 (the 8086 version) – and it took a loooooooot of work. Hats off.
That machine holds a special place in my heart, because it was one of the first PCs I had (I think I had the 286 version, though). It always brings a smile to my face when I see one. 😊
I wish I still had mine. Re-buying one now is probably not a good idea, I wouldn't have the skills to do that kind of restoration. (Or I pay someone to do it, which would be super expensive …)

@lyse Oh, wow, du hast’s sogar inhatlich gelesen. 😀 Danke für die Hinweise, wird korrigiert!
> Hurenkindalarm auf den Seiten 11 und 12. :-P
Jup, ganz fiese sogar. Wundert mich, dass LaTeX das nicht standardmäßig anders arrangiert, um das zu vermeiden. Muss ich nochmal nachschauen, so hübsch ist’s ja nun nicht. 😀
> Die Levelgenerierung finde ich ziemlich genial.
Zu der Idee mit der Musterersetzung bin ich über Advent of Code gekommen. Also nicht direkt über die Puzzles, aber auf Reddit wird manchmal diskutiert, wie denn wohl die Puzzle-Daten bei AoC erstellt werden – da gibt es nämlich auch ganz viele solcher „Labyrinthe“. Und da hat mal einer geschrieben: „Wahrscheinlich beginnt er mit einem Kreis und deformiert den dann so lange, bis $Bedingung erreicht ist.“
Auch die Darstellung der Strecken in der Textdatei ist ganz stark an AoC-Puzzles angelehnt.
Mich fasziniert ein bisschen, dass quasi nur eine Regel („da ist eine Gerade, mach’ mal einen Knick rein“) ausreicht, um so viel Variation zu erreichen. Also, das ist schon noch verbesserungsfähig, aber es funktioniert schon deutlich besser, als ich erwartet hatte.

@movq Sehr schön! Wahrscheinlich hätte ich mir zuvor die referenzierten Dokumente anschauen müssen, um Deinem Aufschrieb einfacher folgen zu können. Die Levelgenerierung finde ich ziemlich genial. Seite 17:
> Diese Ersetzungsregel existiert für alle Richtungen, nicht nur horizontal.
Müsse „vertikal“ statt „horizontal“ heißen, oder?
Mit Abbildung 13 hatte ich erst so meine Schwierigkeiten, die Erläuterung im Fließtext hat dann aber die Sache schließlich nach mehreren Runden aufgeklärt. Ein Hinweis auf die weißen Kästchen nach dem grünen Feld hätte mir vermutlich geholfen. Außerdem hab ich ne ganze Weile gebraucht, diese verbundene, lange Zelle in der Mitte zu verstehen. :-D

it was pouring with heavy winds when i woke up so i waited a bit for it to calm down before heading out. it was great until the rain stopped and the humidity came in which coincided with the ascent. overall it was a good session. beth's handheld water sucks.

@lyse It’s much more than I expected. In my experience, trying to use assembly to optimize C programs has hardly any effect these days. The C compilers have become really, really good. If anything, you’ll make it worse when you put your own assembly stuff in there. 😅 But apparently it’s a different story for Open Watcom / DOS / real mode … 🤔

@stigatle Someone on Mastodon mentioned that it might be worth using assembly instead of C. So I rewrote two hot code paths with inline assembly this morning. And, lo and behold, this got me from ~27.6 fps to ~38.5 fps. 🤯

@eapl.me Yeah, the good thing about racing games is that they’re so simple. 😅 No story needed, no complex game logic. It was perfect for this little toy project. (It’s not the actual Wolfenstein engine, though, it’s just the same method of rendering. 😅)

@prologic @movq Well, there are a few things that might be important to me, but I would miss otherwise. I should maybe spend a bunch more time on creating filter rules for all that crap. Sort out mails from bots into the trash automatically and things like that. A lot of definitely important stuff is already handled. But the maybe pile is still quite large.
@stigatle Almost 100% C. A tiny little bit of inline assembly, but it’s just a few instructions.
I use Open Watcom V2 to cross-compile it directly from Linux, pretty handy.
