Red Viper v1.0.1 improves the UX for the new multicolor mode, allowing people to more easily share their palettes with others, as well as fixing some bugs that snuck into v1.0.0. github.com/skyfloogle/r...

I couldn't figure out the root cause in time for the anniversary, so I put in a bodge that seemed to fix it, but I didn't try playing one hole and then another. I will be looking into this and probably putting out a patch release before too long :)

21.07.2025 16:59 β π 378 π 123 π¬ 8 π 8In most languages, two nested if blocks is equivalent to one if block with an "and" in it. Both compile to "if X goto; if Y goto;" i.e. 2 branches - Y wouldn't get evaluated, or gets short circuited.
Not every language does this (f.ex. old Game Maker) - in these languages, nested ifs are faster :)
Got lots of "is x in range" checks in your performance-sensitive code? Here's a micro-optimization for you:
// 2 branches
slow = pos >= start && pos < end;
// 1 branch
fast = unsigned(pos - start) < size;
Correction: CGFX is the same format as BCRES, which CTR Studio also works with.
