F22 intercepter because guiding the TOW missile was really fun. And Populous because I still play it to this day.

My first console was a Master System I got from a hardware store?! It came with this gem.

If you use offscreencanvas2d you can write to the screen using 8 cores at the same time. Very fast!

-0.2(0.5-t)^4+0.35(0.5-t)^2+0.942809 gives a radius of 0.99982. This is good enough for my engine.

With an error correction of : -0.2(0.5-t)^4+0.28(0.5-t)^2+0.942809 the bezier curve will have a radius of 0.997 units. Tweaking the numbers will give a better accuracy.

With RISC-V single cycle multiply and add instruction should be able to do a whole 3d rotation in 64 cycles!

If you don't want to use sine,cosine. Do 3d rotations with bezier curves!

AssemblyScript now supports OffscreenCanvas2d. Should be able to run this engine on a $18 ESP32-P4.

RISC OS was very sexy. Press f12 and the UI scrolled up revealing a c64 like BASIC text editor.

C64 version. Destroying achilles statue and the enemies kneeling down was memorable.

If you focus on them from 10 cm away you can see a 3d earth.

Realized I haven't posted much of this project on this site. It's a very-much-work-in-progress infinite urban walking sim.

Repost if you want the iconic 'Super Scaler' aesthetic to make a comeback.

After you finish the game, it unlocks a shop. The items in the shop add a strategic element that I have not seen in any other game.

Thats a good question. I got the books decades ago. The assembly book has an ISBN 0-672-30526-7 and the 3d gaming book ISBN 1-57169-004-2

The turbo assembler book has a chapter on programming Windows 3.11 in assembler. The 3D game book shows how to setup a mode 13 double buffered fullscreen app with assembler. Also shows how to program the soundblaster in assembler.

Also as you enter a boss fight release two tornados, and jump attack the boss. If he retreats to the corner he will be hit 5-6 times by the tornados. Keep attack jumping and he will get trapped in the corner for an instant kill. Got to be aggressive AF.
