Well, the jump doesn't work perfectly, but you can't infinite jump anymore, also made movement smoother.

These are some of the reference pages I used for hand-assembling 6502 machine code programs. I learnt 6502 machine code on the CBM PET in 1979 and needed these sheets to look-up the opcodes for the instructions. I can still remember a lot of them today! Here's a test for you...A9, 4C, 20, EA, 85.

I finally finished all 5 shots of this little animation practice sequence. Had so much fun to combine Procreate, Clip Studio, Blender and After Effects to explore this style.

Real programmers use simple text editors. And no, that's not what defines them. Quite the opposite. If you start using simple text editor you won't become one. You become one when you realize that generating MBs of text per second is not real programming. It's just API plumbing.

the most important aspect of kernel development is to make sure your driver freaks the fuck out whenever the system resumes from sleep

I've thought about having an "invisible" mode, where once a block is placed it is no longer displayed (ignore the potato quality): youtu.be/W6Y858742uY?...
If I were to try and implement this I think I'd try to get some kind of fade going for each piece.
Apparently I have the memory of a goldfish. You were the first to reply when I originally posted this on Discord last month. Whelp.
