@maxoakland they were working within very tight constraints, I think it's amazing how much people have been able to wring out of the 64. And, I suspect one could come up with alternatives...I mean flipping bytes isn't computationally intensive, so you could do it yourself on the CPU, but I guess it'd need copies since the VIC is reading sprite memory directly, so you can't update it in place, at least not without glitches (I'm guessing, I have no idea what I'm talking about).

@hipsterelectron @clayote @shoofle @mtrc I find beauty in the idea that life can meaningfully exist in the liminality of information and a well chosen set of processing instructions (even if John Searle is functioning as its unwitting animating force) and be theoretically bound in its sophistication complexity only by the bounds of available time and memory. I decided to stop there, as the idea is too precious to let the used car salesmen running the tech industry defile it.

@swelljoe oof no flipping is such a bad design decision. SMS had that flaw despite a lot of other really cool features

Divieto di dissenso. Lo scudo europeo per la democrazia
@anarchia
La Commissione Europea ha presentato mercoledì 16 novembre lo scudo europeo per la democrazia e la strategia dell’Unione Europea per la società civile. Si tratta di una serie di misure concrete volte a rafforzare, proteggere e https://www.rivoluzioneanarchica.it/divieto-di-dissenso-lo-scudo-europeo-per-la-democrazia/

@hipsterelectron @clayote @shoofle @mtrc my attempt to learn about expert systems tonight failed. the wikipedia article did not hold my attention and i ended up on the article about the Chinese Room thought experiment, which mostly has only convinced me that John Searle had never read XKCD 505

@troutgirl ooh, that looks great!

It's cold and the ground is covered in leaves -- the perfect time for Japanese curry rice! This one has onion, carrot, chicken, eggplant, zucchini, and green beans.

Oh, but I don't have flip and copy/paste features, which reminds me if you want your little guy to run both directions you have to have sprite drawings for both directions, because the C64 can't flip its sprites.
Or, in my case, all four directions, since I'm doing a rogue-like/rogue-light, and maybe that's an impossible amount of resources...four sets of sprite data for all monsters seems like it will add up fast, especially with overlays. 64 bytes*2*4*number of characters.
