You're either police... or little people.

Good old Metal Skin Panic Madox 01. What NOT to do when a fully equipped battle exoskeleton falls off the back of a truck and into the junkyard you work at... The opening is worth …

If you don't want to start completely from scratch, may I recommend you take a look at the VideoBrain? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VideoBrain_Family_Computer (only language ever …

Or you could just start with ASCII... I was discussing how shaders work with a friend and wound up hacking together a sort of "shadertoy" that runs in Emacs last night. Scroll to e…

You may be already aware with this, but if not, Walker actually did write a small Forth (ATLAST -- https://www.fourmilab.ch/atlast/ ) which was used for (I think) DXFTOOL (a file c…

A very long time ago, sometime during the first geologic age, I worked at a facility on Queen Street in Toronto. On the street side of the building, we had two Flame suites (very h…

FireFox Reader Mode can also be your friend... ; - )

Classic of how to animate a cube in Houdini: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLiL0GLSvIw (tldw: Real time internal combustion engine simulation something unexpected.)

For the past several years, I've been tinkering on and off with something that might be called a "game engine", except there's not enough of it. More of a "conceptual framework", o…

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote_vs._Acme#Visual_effects... it's a mix. They apparently actually do have some completely hand-drawn sequences, but I expect the bul…

Thanks! Sometimes that stuff wanders around if you're not keeping a close eye on it...

Oh well. Back to Mine Storm. If anyone else is interested in Vectrex light pens, here are some instructions on building your own: https://playvectrex.com/vectech/mvlp/mvlp_f.htm (S…

Puts hand up... Contact in profile. Thanks!

I've been doing this for a long time, ever since I was able to score a used Wacom Cintiq. I would recommend anything with a screen (Cintiq, Huion, iPad, etc.) over a plain graphics…

Hey! I understood that reference! That was something that stayed with me long after the "big science" (atomic rockets, Venusians, etc.) of Space Cadet. It was something that everyb…

Nah. That's what the Monk is for.

For most studios, the film is visualized and composed normally, then the "flat" version is used as the left eye of the stereo version. An additional set of render passes is made fo…

The writer pinpoints the major problem that I had with using the ROM earlier, which was that the beeper is not fully implemented for MAME. They describe how to get to the setup scr…

I tried this the other day, I wasn't able to "use front" (mapped to CTRL key, which works for some things, but not others). I downloaded MAME for my computer and the Cat ROMS so I …

Hi! Considered Janet very seriously, but couldn't see an immediate path to get where I wanted to go with it (web app, using WebGL (ThreeJS)). There were some useful references in t…

If you considered me for a role, thanks for taking a look!

Also check out the so-called M5 Cardputer, which is part of the M5Stack line of products. Has the colour display and super tiny keyboard, but also SD card, mic and speaker and batt…

Was there not a huge archeological effort by people all over the place to resurrect old backups and older servers so that the news archive could be complete? Lovingly retrieved, cu…

Did they also ban every member of your family as well? That _really_ wierded me out. I'm not sure a public utility (what eBay, Amazon, et al basically are now thanks to the death o…

Actually, I /wanted/ a replacement flex pipe, but the only way to get it is to buy a rear catalytic converter assembly. The one I was looking at was supposed to be new -- not "RFE"…
