Tistreza: últimos minutos de férias e acabei não fazendo muito uma das coisas que eu pretendia - avançar no desenvolvimento do #Patifferie Ainda tô no meio da reescrita completa dele, de código espaguete típico de gamejam (C e asm via cc65) pra código não-tão-espaguete (C++ e asm via llvm-mos)

Captura de tela parcial do meu desktop, mostrando:
- ao fundo, uma janela de terminal, executando tmux com 3 abas
- a aba ativa é do editor neovim, com 4 abas de código abertas, a ativa exibindo um código fonte relacionado a gameplay
- na frente, uma janela do emulador MesenCE, executando a ROM do La Patifferie; no momento exibindo a tela de Pause, com opções para continuar, sair para o menu principal, ou para personalizar os sabores dos cookies. Alguns dados de profiling são exibidos pelo emulador de forma sobreposta e semi-transparente no canto superior esquerdo da janela

As usual, there's more than meets the eyes with palette switching : this scene of #tinytoons 2 DX (Montana's Movie Madness) for #gameboycolor updates the palette dynamically with the scrolling, depending on the position of the sprite. Hope you won't mind this FX didn't exist 😇 youtu.be/AKVM6N6S3WE

I got tired of reading my linker configuration file manually, so I built a quick visualizer to see how much space I have left in each bank. Every pixel is one byte of the final program, separated into PRG (code and data) up top, and CHR (graphics tiles) down below. Roomy, for now! #nes #gamedev

An enormous grid of squares. Many are one solid color, indicating an empty bank (lazy artist, draw faster!) but many more are full of what appears to be noise. These are bytes of the program (top) and 2bpp representations of the graphics tiles (below) respectively. At a glance, a bit over half of the space seems to be used in both regions.
