Still doesn't work on my laptop in Firefox, and only works on Windows in Chrome.

That's because Crash Bandicoot is on-rails.

I don't think so. The DSI and CSI connectors are of limited use to most Pi users compared to an official case.

It's a new game, not a remake.

Multiplayer demo (or replay), not video.

This uses gettimeofday() for timing purposes which has been deprecated for a few years now. I believe it's not reliable as it can be changed by other processes running alongside your application …

What's wrong with the GNU compiler?
comment
You mean incorrectly? Isn't it still single-core?
comment
It means only the first. I've never seen it used to mean the other ones.

> It'll look "as good as you remember" Only if you play it on a CRT TV. Games from that era look terrible on a modern HDTV.

It's probably a Javascript thing as other emulators written in JS are the same. It's using 100% CPU on my laptop while a native emulator only uses about 10%.

I never understood their focus on cheap phones. Firefox OS (and web technologies in general) is a poor fit for low-spec devices.

They added an AY chip to the Spectrum starting from the 128K model I think. It was also available as an add-on to the original 48K.

I think the issue is that the licensing of GameWorks, which HairWorks is part of, prevents the game developer from sharing it's source code with anyone other than other licensees. That means AMD …

There's an explicit compiler flag to get fast but not accurate math and it isn't enabled in any of the -On presets in either gcc or clang.

Dragons, not worms or snakes.

AMD and Nvidia are both using HBM AFAIK. AMD is just farther along.

You mean even the renderer was written in Lisp? Didn't you have any issues with garbage collection?
comment
That looks to be just for converting to and from half-precision floats.
comment
Those games were written in C or C++ (and probably some assembly) and scripted in Lisp.
comment
I have no problem with that. My issue is about misleadingly talking about memory when you mean storage.
comment
4 GB of storage. It only has 512 MB of memory.

Visual Studio Code really has nothing to do with Visual Studio except that they share part of a name.

The link is outdated.

As someone already said, project is dead and doesn't work with the latest versions of UE.
comment
I didn't downvote you. I don't know how to, or even that you could here at HN. I suppose that's what the graying of some posts is? As for your link, somebody above already showed how it…

That may be the title of the post, but it doesn't reflect the real-world situation.
