@mos_8502 there’s a guy on fiverr that will do it for 60 dollars, I’ve used him before and it was great. Want me to find his name? -

@sun Does he have a portfolio page I can look at/listen to?

@mos_8502 let me get on my desktop and get you the link, he has a few. I can share what he did for me also -

@mos_8502 Maybe something on https://www.hvsc.c64.org/ can help? I used to watch the c64radio stream sometimes on twitch but it's been offline for a while, it was sourcing the music there.

attached is what I had him make for me. I specifically requested the actual SID file and he provided that as well. -

I don't have experience with c64 specifically. I've composed a lot of tracker music, some of it for the gameboy, so I have some experience with 8 bit consoles with many limitations.If you're interested in working with someone interested in the stuff you're working on and eager to learn, I'd be glad to give this a go.
Just to be clear, I'm offering this not as paid work. Music is my hobby, and this sounds like an interesting and fun challenge. -

Totally understand if you'd rather pay someone already experienced with c64 music, I'm sure it'll be simpler, but if you're interested at all, here's an album of my tracker music (some of it is Gameboy):
https://eladhen.bandcamp.com/album/the-beast-of-untameable-hope-a-work-in-progressAnd here are some soundtraks I've written for my ttrpg podcast (most of the later pieces are tracker music):

I'll take a look -

There seems to be a bunch of "Goattrackers" around. Can you point me to a source?"Battle of the Bits" points to a broken official website...

Never mind. Found it I think. -

It took some tutorials, but I can make it beep! -

Give me a direction for a theme music and I'll hack at it. Any limitations? length? style? -

Give a listen to the soundtracks for The Legend of Zelda, Neutopia, Crusader of Centy, for inspiration. It's a fantasy 2d action RPG.

more "zelda cave theme" or "zelda overworld"? (not that I can do anything as good — but directionwise) -

Just some fiddling in the direction of a cave theme. I'm still trying to understand the SID options.

Apparently some people are only finding out about systemd being corporate crap NOW?

@view LOL

@eniko You can use SIMD ops for that too but the biggest problem for SW rendering is sampling+edge cull. AVX2 has gather-load ops (to pull texture data from spread-out locations) and conditional store ops (to avoid storing outside of the tri edge), which make it much less problematic.
There are writeups out there for how to compute barycentric coordinates for each pixel, which will let you interpolate the coordinates+matrices of each vert. Beyond that it's the same as using shaders.

@xgranade the polycrisis works to the advantage of the people who think they can profit from it,
until it doesn’t

@eniko @TomF Only for directional lights, yeah. This is the same technique that the "doing 3D on the Gameboy Color" article that was doing the rounds a while back was using, except they were using hardware palettes as the indices and pre-baking the entire scene as one big normal texture.

Ci sono momenti storici in cui l’individuo avverte la possibilità di poter incidere sugli eventi; qualcosa, nel suo inconscio, gli dice che perfino un’opinione isolata può produrre effetti. In altri periodi, invece, ognuno si sente totalmente impotente e si rifugia nell’apatia. I tempi delle rivoluzioni e quelli
