Commander X16

This is frustrating news, and must be more so for the team that has invested so much in getting it to this point. <br /> <br /> I’ve been developing a game for this system since the emulator was first available. With this news, I think I will be pausing development until a real system becomes avail...

That is amazing!

You have per height routines, but could you also have a per texture+height routine? You could take advantage of textures created with vertical runs of identical pixels to reduce “reads” from the texture.

The code is a horrible, unpresentable mishmash of magic numbers and macros, but I'll do my best... This is the main wait loop which just thrashes and waits for the vbl interrupt to set a flag <blockquote class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote=""> <div class="ipsQuote_citation"> Quote </div> <div class="ips...

Been tinkering away at my game, and thought I'd spend some time adding better debug tools, so I added a CPU meter. I was getting concerned that I had no idea if my plans were going to fit into my frame budget. The screenshot shows I'm using 32% of the CPU resources available. Well worth adding beca...
