#23Great article. (Unfortunately I had to finish it in w3m because the gifs were so huge.) I remember doing lerp and projected-focus before I knew what they were called. It definitely has more depth than it seems, and as I was reading I was surprised at how much thought went into some of these decisions, especially Super Mario World where I had never noticed it.
