otterstackon I put a real-time 3D shader on the Game Boy Color

Thanks!

It's fuzzy, but I think it was because I was learning GB assembly while working on shaders in Houdini or something (I'm a tech artist). The two worlds collided in my head, saw that there's no native multiplication on the GB, and figured it'd be a fun problem.

I disclosed AI because I think it's important to disclose it. I also take pride in the process. Mind you, I also cite Stack Overflow answers in my code if I use it. Usually with a comment like:

    // Source: https://stackoverflow.com/q/11828270

With any AI code I use, I adopted this style (at least for now):

    // Note: This was generated by Claude 4.5 Sonnet (AI).
    // Prompt: Do something real cool.

The funny thing is the phrasing used to be more neutral, but I changed the tone to be slightly more skeptical because people thought I was just glazing AI in my post. Another guy on Reddit seemed annoyed that I didn't love AI enough.

I just wanted to document the process for this type of project. shrug

Aah you're right. That was from my vomit draft and forgot to tidy it up. I'll update the post soon

Hi, author here. I heard it got posted here and decided to make an account, so I can hop in here. Thanks for sharing!

I'm also looking into simplifying it a bit more with environment maps, which I shared on my Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/dannyspencer.bsky.social/post/3mecu...
