It’s a CRT monitor displaying the result of feeding the output of a WJ-AVE5 back into itself. I have a section on my visuals page where I intend to write about it but haven’t gotten around to it yet

thanks for being a real one. i must admit that neocity is a strange venue but it is exactly on the margins where i can be most expressive.

heh, thank you! i love your content, i had to google what "danpa" is but i kinda like it. :D how is your experience with the x4? i flashed crosspoint after a few hours but i consider trying "Microreader" with an even more minimalist approach and better rendering (at least on screenshots). :D

I still love these, which remind me of certain graphics in some of the Vectrex's games. Those lilypads are so simply and peacefully gratifying.

Persisting error when attempting to render "anomaly containment apparatus" and "moiré worm:" "SyntaxError: missing } after function body" These worked before, so I don't know what the trouble is.

Thank you for catching that. Both errors were related to not using braces to enclose the contents of for loops, even though previously that worked when the loop body was only one line (as they were in these cases). I added in braces at the cost of two characters, but they now work again and remain under the limit.

Also I had never heard of the Vectrex.I love the look of it! I imagine emulation would hardly do it justice because of the screen and the overlays

Emulation could work, but it'll never really look the same....

this is really impressive stuff! adding BVH for collision detection will probably be needed at some point, unless the maps are very simple

visualculture 6 months ago

thanks! i actually did start working on that but ran into an issue with it. many of my environment meshes have large triangles that span basically a whole dimension of the mesh, so the resulting bvh wasn’t very useful. i still need to think about how to proceed, will maybe have to subdivide some of the large triangles in my meshes

If you want to play them you will need to use the emulator called Ares (other emulators like Project64 won’t work) or with a flashcart you can write roms to

Wow, this is seriously impressive! N64 homebrew is one of the trickiest there is; I tried to get into it a few years ago and the documentation made my head spin (especially how it handles manually handles memory). Very very cool.

@cyberoccultismpg yeah it’s pretty tricky to get working well, the coprocessors crash over the smallest things and it’s rarely easy to track down the cause. But the open source libraries (libdragon and tiny3d) have come a long way over the past couple years, so development is a little smoother now

Congratulations - N64 was one of my first consoles, happy to see people are still making stuff for it.

It was my first console as well, and feels surreal writing software now that runs on it. Today was the submission date for this year’s N64 homebrew game jam, so there should be many more N64 games coming out in the next few days. Some of them are here: https://itch.io/jam/n64brew-game-jam-6/entries
