started doing a top down CGA tile set for 160x100 pixels and uuhh think that might be a bit *too* small. i was trying to make each tile 8x8 pixels -_- i could do a 16x16 based tileset its just obviously thats twice as zoomed in so...
YESSSSSSS i beat Adventure (1980) on medium difficulty that bat is EVIL. evil!! almost as scary as rhindle
unsurprising that DLSS5 looks good when its an actual release candidate, artists are given total control over where its used & the game was designed around its implementation course no one is going to bother making a completely bespoke model for their game so it will only be useful for hyperrealism
have been spending so many hours trying to understand how to write my own function to read keyboard bytes in DOS. have at least figured out (hopefully) how to read the address of the old keyboard function and load in a new one. but uhh my function is more conceptual rn lol

got it in my head i actually need to buy an IBM compatible 8086 machine now. i want oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. i want to run my code on it!!
i think it'd be fun to make something for the CGA palette. i just wish CGA memory wasnt so complicated to code compared to VGA
i figured i should start with something simple with this DOS stuff and make Pong. its teaching me plenty about C............ and it took me two+ hours to write a function to draw a dotted line. i rly should be asleep -_-
Transphobic attacks on the Welsh Gender Service, supported by supposedly reputable media outlets like Nation Cymru, have now bourne fruit: Our sources in the trans community tell us that the Cardiff GIC has begun cancelling scheduled surgeries for trans patients.

An update from my sister 💜
Andrew Mercator@cloudyappleart.bsky.social · last mo.My sister is disabled and waiting for surgery, and her work have just terminated her contract because of the time she'll need off to recover, so any orders from or donations to my ko-fi (see pinned) for the foreseeable will go to her, and we've just set up a GFM. www.gofundme.com/f/fired-whil...

me: i should split some of these functions off into a new .c file im sure this will be easy 2 hours later: all computers must be destroyed
spent all day trying to understand how to get delta time on DOS. i am not confident enough to program the PIT so i will just read it <3

just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why this stopped my game compiling: for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++) u see the issue? u seeeeeeee it? cuz i didnt. ...old C doesnt let you declare variables inside for loops. it has to be: int i; for ( i = 0; i < 256; i++) -_-
i got my DOS program to load, read, decompress and then display PCX images ^__^ and! i can change the palette on the fly but! most importantly!!!! it works on real hardware!!!! i practically vibrated out of my skin when it actually displayed on my CRT ^_____^
my coding experience before all this has just been gamemaker, unreal engine and watching youtube videos about old video game code ....so coding C for DOS definitely feels like jumping in the deep end. wheeeeeeeeee ^_^
