TIL: MSVC 4.0 Build 5158 doesn't support Tatham's Coroutine, by saying "case expression not constant", which don't happen in earlier VC (VC2) or later VC (VC4 RTM)

Game Engine White Papers: Commander Keen came in the mail today... and now the GitHub repo is gone and you can't order it on Amazon anymore. And then I saw this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48550425

Turns out, taking a month‑long break in the middle of rewriting an assembly routine wasn't my brightest idea. The code kinda works... but also not quite... there are still breakpoints set in the IDE... no comments, though... what the hell was I thinking? Stupid is as stupid does, I guess

Now with two more targets! 🎉​​

...to facilitate which I rewrote the rendering (across all targets) to use maps and tiles, since the Game Boy and Game Boy Color do not support bitmaps!

They all use the same tiles, map and palette - the latter is organized in 4 columns roughly in luminance order such that the indices also work as grayscale values.

the parsing of RRE/CoRRE is incomplete, let gemini fixed them. RRE works quite well, but CoRRE is slow as snail, put it in last entry of encoding list.
made a new release for it: https://github.com/roytam1/vncsclnt/releases/tag/v260611

Release HexTile Release (v260611) · roytam1/vncsclnt

This is a new release that reduces bandwidth usage by using HexTile encoding instead of Raw encoding. Also fixed RRE and CoRRE encodings, although CoRRE encoding is slow in our state machine model....
