Obligatory Bret Victor mention.

I grew up playing God of War saga with my 3y old bro and other games like MK9 and so on. We just laugh at the fact.

Good memories. We enjoyed both R and kid games.

Wait, are there more papers on this? Seems interesting.

I see that Inigo Quilez work is more in the "render a scene not necesarily in real time" realm. Like, you could make a raytracing program, make it render off camera a shiny scene, and only after rendering it shows you the image.

Because of this, its very suited to math and procedural generation. You just change some parameters, render and show. Games instead have to do this in real time, with less latency and CPU/GPU usage. And procedural/math generated content tends to be CPU heavy (more usage+latency), if not also on the GPU (cant be cached, etc).

Shaders are more on the middle of this, because you want to apply certains transformations to and from rendering data.

Just my armchair observation.

Reminds me of HABBO

There are no pointers?

When you flip that dx/dt so it becomes dt/dx...

While programming in FORTH, you have a similar advice: avoid stack mumbling (aka copy and store ops).

But sometimes all that stack changes could be avoided by using a temp register.

We need more papers about the anecdotical experience of investigating. Maybe there isnt too much, but it would be cool to understand how they got the idea first.

Water is wet

Stack machines look cool until you realize you could save all the stack mumbling by using registers. At this point, you could try to make a full VM instead.

The PSP had game sharing, basically the same: send a small multiplayer/demo copy.

If I had a penny everytime a system's book/teacher said "systems are like living cells, they have interaction to themselves and the medium"...

May I ask, whats the difference of academia now vs old academia (the Greats, like Einstein or anyone else), economic wise?

It only works in English(?)

Time to use the Snake voice more often:

"Text to speech? Anyone voice? What?"

This. We called K&R as "The C bible" for a reason at Uni.

Economy is always finite, sadly. Sometimes it may be just bad administration (inefficient, low funds, etc), but then you have to deal with politics, and thats another whole show...

You have 40 or more kids on a room, all day. What could go wrong?

Welcome to the school system.

Is there a book about this? This isnt covered that deep in Dif.Eq. books...

See "Emotional Neglect".

If a kid cannot access and process his emotions, he will eventually lose himself.

Not so long time ago, there was this man who loved to make barbecues. At weekends, he loved cooking, preparing and eating the food with friends. He would talk about the best temperature, the best meat, salsas, and lots of other technical data.

One day, a butcher from a local store joined the barbecue: - Hey, you are pretty good! Would you like to leave your current job and work for our store? We have special discounts for workers, and the job is good.

The man thinked twice before answering...You are that man. Some choose Yes without hesitation. Others say No.

- No thanks, its just a hobby for me.

Is there something like this but with Lua?

bash + lua, and life is good again.

1 d.hour = 2h

1 d.min = 10 min

1 d.sec = 50sec

1 d.terc = 4+1/6sec

The main problem that I see with making tracker based music is no samples = no music.
