Nice shadowing on the characters.

Just do all the “mainline” Mario games. That way you get to decide what counts as mainline. It’ll be fun!

Sad to see you go, as a quiet enjoyer of your posts. Take care, enjoy your holiday.

Interestingly, DX9 on the X360 was another nice example of this. You could (mostly) just write straight DX9 code. But there was a bunch of lower level functionality layered underneath, that could selectively be used.

I think in theory that’s the ideal solution. But it’s hard to fight the perception that D11on12 (or whatever) is a “second class citizen”. Metal is nice because essentially both the high level and low level api coexist together.

Glad your blog/Patreon exist, for those of us that enjoy your particular taste. Thank you for your service.

Could also add another define to mangle the names, and allow the header to be included multiple times. Makes the library code ugly, but usability is decent.

Makes me nostalgic for the days when “fake gamer who cheats at games” would have been a top 5 most bad things about him.

I agree 100%, and do exactly the same thing. Not a great strategy for actually finishing anything though.

Those look great, if I just saw them in isolation I might believe they were the original sprites. But nice improvements when viewed side-by-side.

The worst is the brief moment of hope, when the music stops and you think it’s finally over.
