My book tries to be as accessible as possible; a high schooler with little to no knowledge of linear algebra should be able to understand all of it. So in every case I've chosen si…

Thanks for saying that :) Have you built something based on that idea? I still haven't, but I'm thinking on throwing some Claude at it for the most mechanical parts.

I have a whole chapter on that! https://gabrielgambetta.com/computer-graphics-from-scratch/1...

Yes, and that actually sharpens my previous conclusions.

That's the unlock!

So it's not a one-word theory, it's a theory with a one-word name... shocking. What a clickbait title!

They used to be called "Sales Engineers". They still are, but they used to, too.

I'm pretty sure I submitted this idea to the internal "file a patent" drive they were doing like 15 years ago. It was rejected. I thought it was either stupid or too obvious and th…

For me it was "There’s a clean exception to all of this, and it flips the entire logic." and "here’s the reframe". That's Claude-speak.

No Striker? [0] Zero realism but incredibly fun to play. IIRC it had a two-player mode (sharing the keyboard) that was super fun. [0] https://www.mobygames.com/game/12380/striker/

I was thinking exactly the same thing, this is CSP/SR. One of my favorite topics! https://gabrielgambetta.com/client-server-game-architecture....

I've read that. I'm not part of the conservator community, I just really enjoy the videos.

I fully agree with you. However, when non-LatAm people talk about "socialism", they probably think of European-style socialism, which is awesome. LatAm socialism is a lot more extr…

They should just trap Julian Baumgartner inside for a month, with nothing but water, food, and conservation-grade varnish and reversible pigments, and the whole place would look li…

It seems you're not from LatAm.

That's a great idea! Just haven't gotten that far yet (that article is pre-LLM, and I'm very early in a new AI-driven reconstruction). But yeah, taking the original extracted sprit…

I'm very happy to see this! Not so much because of TDIII (which I played, although not nearly as much as Stunts), but because there seems to be some momentum building around recrea…

Fair, I wouldn't have been able to write Bresenham back then (or now, off the top of my head). I'd have written a simple trig-based one. Maybe I'd have failed the interview :D

So at the end of each run increment the relevant pointer by (pitch - w) not pitch which I'm sure it's one of the bugs they saw all the time in this interview :)

Thought the same. Reckless today, literally standard back then.

This brings back memories! I could easily pass this interview today, because I used to write code like this all the time 25 years ago doing gamedev (and so did everyone else to som…

What I'm hearing is that the smoke in smoke tests comes from the oil tanks!

> And the public funded the research that made it possible. The transformer architecture, Errr pretty sure that was Google?

The whole thing compiles with 2 warnings. Incredible codebase. John Carmack definitely was/is on a different level. Back when I was making videogames I followed a similar philosoph…

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I had no idea about any of this.
