I remember him, since he won a PHP contest of DownNOut (I finished second). Another programmer had the same pseudo, but was working on the Atari ST.

Impossible to connect to JIRA here (France).

You can optimize further by unrolling the loop. For example: .L2: move.w d1,(a0) move.w d1,(a0) move.w d1,(a0) move.w d1,(a0) dbra d0,.L2 rts

Sorry, but these tricks cannot work on aphantasic people (I'm one of them), since they cannot visualize.

In Europe, the average age for buying a new car is 50. This means that most of the cars sold are second-hand. Most people think that the car is a luxury and prefer to focus on thei…

There are 2 main problems with XSLT. The first one is that manipulating strings is a pain. Splitting strings, concatenating them is verbose like hell and difficult to read. The sec…

Yes, I programmed Snow Bros for the Atari ST. It was finished but never released. And no, I have no copy either. When I worked for Cryo, I coded a game "Trashman" for the SNES. I s…

Nice work! Here is a similar idea: https://wordassociations.net/en In french, there is a game to build relations with words (they provide a word, and you have to type the most rela…

Sorry to nitpick, but in the language tokenisation part, the french part is incorrect. The exclamation mark are surrounded by spaces in french. "c'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer…

It depends on the rice. 2 cups of water is good for 1 cup of rice for 1 or 2 cups of rice. If you use 4 or more cups, you'll get something soggy. Probably the correct ratio is 1.5 …
