Who the hell keeps giving SMWC money to run the website?

Sorry about that. Should be fixed now.

So last night I came up with three possible strategies for allocating slots in VRAM for streaming sprites:

- All slots are the same size (eg. 32x32). The object requesting the slots needs to remember all of the slots, and do separate sprite calls to render the whole metasprite. It's easy to implement from the VRAM manager perspective but it really complicates things for users and bloats the memory used by game objects, neither of which I want.

- Slots can be different sizes, but each size of slot has its own exclusive region (e.g. 32x32 slots have one region in VRAM, while 64x64 slots have another). Easy to implement, but you waste a lot of space.

- Slots can be different sizes, and regions can be given to any size slot. Flexible, but requires defragmentation. Objects may spawn a few frames late as a result.

I'm currently looking to implement the third option. A couple things I will need to work out first:

- How to perform the defragmentation. I'm considering having it so that if any object is animating (i.e. it will need to stream to VRAM anyway), try to move it to any VRAM slot that is to the left.

- How to determine, with constant time complexity, which slots are remaining. I already have a system for this for creating and destroying game objects, but the different VRAM slot sizes makes this trickier, because you need contiguous space to allocate the larger spanning slots.

I'm going to prototype this before I implement it in the actual assembly code. Suggestions are welcome too.


Sorry for the late reply. I didn't realize this website was still around. I have a dynamic sprite allocation similar to the first one, but I managed to get around the memory issue with the use of having a linked list.

Something that makes me cringe is when the SMWC mods keep blabbering about "valid arguments" without understanding what a "valid argument" is.

ROMHacking.net only recently started getting better by finally banning the "baddesthacks" people, aka the group of people perpetuating those awful 1999-era Nesticle hacks. You know the ones.


Ironically nesdev ALSO has a grudge on smwcentral.

I got banned because some douchebag claimed I was an "alt-right" just because I didn't like Obama's Title IX policies.

...Do you mean this?


The policy that says trans students should be treated as their gender? That policy?
Just want to clarify.


I never heard of that version of Title IX before. Has that Wikipedia page been edited?

When I was in college everyone had to sit through these types of presentations at least every year:

https://nypost.com/2017/09/08/school-apologizes-for-suggesting-students-masturbate-to-avoid-sex-assault/

...and I found out the reason why schools are required to show stupid presentations like this is because of Obama's Title IX policies.

Oh I guess you're talking about this part

In 2011, President Barack Obama issued guidance reminding schools of their obligation to redress sexual assaults as civil rights matters under Title IX.


still not sure why "people should be discouraged from committing sexual assault" is such a disagreeable idea but you do you, i guess


It's not the "preventing sexual assault" part I have a problem with. It's the fact that schools think the majority of male students are these sex-crazed idiots.

Posted on 01-12-19 01:55:50 AM, in How should I deal with an unpopular political opinion? Link
I've been trying the first choice for years, and people continued to share back up copies of them completely out of context. To the point of deleting my entire YouTube account. But since, I've been trying to do this for years, and it hasn't worked, and I notice the people that I actually do agree with somehow did get a youtube following, I think I'll go with plan B. If you still think I should go back to plan A, give me some advice on how to prevent old shit from circulating.

I can swear there's a lost Bugs Bunny cartoon that hasn't been played since 1997 called "Rabbit Stew" that has these jokes:

Bugs Bunny climbs a tree, Elmer chops it down, runs away and yells "timber". Then it falls directly on his head. Then Bugs shows up munching his carrot from the side of the screen.

Later on, Elmer is chasing Bugs. Bugs turns around when he gets to the end of the cliff. Elmer runs straight off the cliff. Elmer notices and tries running back. Bugs gives Elmer an anvil and he falls down.

Later, Elmer is chasing Bugs again. Bugs dives into a hole. Elmer grabs his leg while diving and pulls it out, finding that it's a fake leg with a stick of dynomite tied to it, which immediately explodes.
