As an old school TT/TTD fan this gives me so many good vibes :)
Been fun watching the progress and I do recommend people check out the demos on Steam if you just want to have a good nostalgia break even if the game isn't fully there yet.
Agreed! Looks great, but I did immediately click the pencil to doodle and was disappointed nothing happened. When I created a new document and tried to use the pencil nothing happened. I never figured out how to use it. I tried the Bezier tool and was able to add some nodes but was not able to manipulate them with any of the tools. Maybe dragging is entirely broken on Chrome/Windows?
To select nodes I needed to click on the path in the "Objects" outline on the left side of the screen. Then I could switch to the Nodes tool and select nodes. But after that I can't drag nodes either. Firefox/Linux, so probably something is actually broken not just a compat issue.
Clicking on the path to select them with the Node tool or the Select tool doesn't seem reliable. The Select tool never works, and the Nodes tool I need to click near the nodes (which are invisible) and if I click too fast while searching it thinks I double-clicked and switches to the Select tool.
Maybe some of this makes some sense to the author, and a fix can be forthcoming.
Fantastic project and great writeup! The screen tradeoff with needing triple buffering but getting integer scaling was interesting to hear about - any feeling as to whether it adds human-noticeable latency vs. original hardware?
In the absolute worst case (drawing an object at the very top of the screen, and the LCD output for the next frame started right before the current one finished), buffering adds a 2 frame delay (33 milliseconds). Probably noticeable for some people, but this worst case is uncommon.
Average case I would expect ~0.5 to 1 frame delay, so 8 to 16 milliseconds. Probably not really noticeable.
Just wanted to say thanks for pushing on this front! I'm not using the libc portion but the improvements to clang/llvm that allow this to work have been incredible. When I was looking a few months back the only options that felt practical for writing large amounts of device code were cuda/hip or opencl and a friend suggested I just try C _and it worked_. Definitely made my "most practical/coolest that it actually works" list for 2024 :)
Just seconding this as someone who'd been there for over 10yrs and left this last year for those precise reasons. Many of my peers left at the same time and we're quite frequently getting incoming interviews from others who still remain there. Very disappointing :(
Yeah! Seeing blackhead popping thumbnails for this stuff in my crafting/hacking/cooking feed of videos is absolutely terrifying, especially as someone with mild trypophobia. I cannot believe that these are surfaced for me given the amount of data they have or that they are surfaced for anyone without explicit searches given the content - even if considered medical/educational in nature I wouldn't expect surgery or animal dissection videos to be surfaced likewise.
You guys using a VPN or something? Only surprises I get is more ... mature content Shorts in search results. Generally my recommended feed and "New For You" is free of anything terrible.
I don't buy that explaination. Several of us are getting the same sort of intrusive shock content; are we all using the same VPN endpoint? Doubtlessly not. Furthermore, I've seen no other kinds of videos that would suggest recommendations bleeding through from other viewers; particularly youtube never suggests any sports content to me. Sports are extremely popular so if recommendations bleed through IPs, I should be getting lots of sports content. I get none, youtube's suggestions are almost perfectly tailored to me with the sole exception of these occasional shock videos.
That’s what I was thinking … if you are sharing a VPN with the average VPN user then you are likely to be served this bottom tier content based off of the IP alone.
Adding another data point here. Same videos you described, no watch history, no VPN, pimple gore videos and the like mixed into unrelated results. Very odd.
