Can this be used on any System 11 game? And can it be used to read the current state of the alphanumeric display?

Even gods eventually get bored.

The fact that Tom Arraya bares a resemblance to RMS probably had something to do with it. :)

I was in the affected group. Quite fun when my phone's notification sound is this:

Here's an inquiry for those more knowledgeable about IP law than myself: what's the state of the law regarding training an AI on copyrighted material besides code? I was debating this with someone in relation to the high definition texture packs for old games people have been making using models such as ESRGAN - do these infringe the copyright of the rights holders of the original assets? Or are they considered sufficiently transformative to be considered an original work?

Something tells me Mr. Carmack himself wouldn't approve of such engineering practices, no?

>I hold no opinion on Trump,

Everyone has an opinion about Trump. Are you too afraid to say yours? I'm asking in good faith here - not trolling.

This strikes me as the FOSS equivalent of trying to piss off the volcano.

As a child in the ancient days of the early 2000s, I would often setup botmatches consisting of 16 'players' in Quake 3 and spectate the resultant carnage. I wouldn't venture to say it was educational or intellectual in any sense, but it was still pretty fascinating - even as a ten year old - to observe what was essentially a bunch of fake people run around on my little P3. IIRC there were user made characters that had custom bot files with distinct 'personalities', so you could throw together different combinations of bots in different maps and come away with some very different encounters.

Linux has over 25 million lines of code (as of 2018 [1]). Would an audit be straightforward?

'Because remembering CLI flags is hard.'

Indeed. :)

But the idea of an OS in and of itself is the ultimate IDE, is it not? I can't say I like the idea of writing software without any system calls at my disposal.

He should seriously consider replacing the Wolfenstein content with his own stuff and release it as an independent title! I know I would love to see a new release for my GBC...

Yoshi's Island?

Here's a post on Polycount that analyzes other parts of the game:

"I had no idea what to say to him. In the end, I said, 'Well… you know… I think we should have more of that.'"

I love it.

I just had a newly-built Skylake desktop completely lock up twice in the past week while using a resource intensive development tool. I'm curious as to whether this is related - I was freaking out over the possibility of my ~1200$ machine being defective in some way.

Screw the next Twitter. Whoever successfully writes such a piece of software will make billions.

Why does it seem that every game development post mortem I come across read like the Rocky Horror Picture Show? After reading a million and one of these you inevitably come to understanding of what not to do - it would be nice to find an example of what actually to do!

Hall talks about how to make enjoyable games, not massive margins. Sadly, the two seem to be increasingly disparate these days.

Lock the catbox!

Steve Jobs was an irrefutable dick. So tell me, should we throw all Macintoshes and iPhones into an incinerator?

There's Pong fan fiction too, you know.

It all comes down to the fact that talk is cheap while concrete action is expensive.

As awesome as this may be, I don't expect it to stick around. I highly doubt the right holders in question will look the other way. :(

Not to mention that one street may very well be safer for one individual compared to another depending on any number of variant factors - race, gender, build, etc.

Having submitted myself through the same process but with modern tools (see DoomBuilder and XWE) and Google, I can only concur. Anything more complicated than room-corridor-room winds up being a major pain in the ass. :)

>Startups can win because the company cares more about their customers.

But you have to keep in mind the fact that it is rather easy to have that sort of attitude when you're small and have a proportional number of customers - it's much harder to be nice to a thousand people than to five. Scaling your service with the size of your consumer base is the real key.
