I'm sure this was asked already, but DEF overloading would be nice :)

first and foremost, we would need a rich text renderer

I'm working on a colorspace library right now. YCbCr and HSL are the two I have done.

if you're going to redistribute a game you didn't make, at least include all of the files first

A function for getting the fractional part of a number, much how FLOOR() can obtain the integer part of a number (and was effectively a stand-in of the old BASIC INT() telling from the manual). FRAC() or something, name it something that makes sense.

I keep seeing the word "offensive" thrown around, so I thought I'd clarify something: nowhere does it say SmileBoom can remove content deemed crude or offensive, unless someone reports it. That doesn't mean it won't happen, but they aren't the kind of company to deal in underhanded business like that. It's not something we should worry about.

Yes, but he used raycasting rendering instead of a polygon 3D approach, and with rather small map sizes. Something this big wouldn't work tbh

SmileBASIC has around 8MB of accessible heap memory. IIRC only arrays and strings occupy the heap, the rest occupies the stack, which is 128KB. So there's your lot for memory. If you need to write data out of memory, you need not write to disk immediately. Each GRP page is effectively an extra 512KB memory page. You could store in that assuming you appropriately convert your data to 2-byte colors.

This is a very interesting way to do mode 7. And I like the 3D effect on the sprites, very interesting!

Just put different graphics and music over it. It's really not that hard.

Definition of clip spaces for fade layer, console layer, and background color layer. Optionally, specification of z-coordinate in clip spaces.

Another popular demo effect, here's some fire.

pirate: Yep, Nintendo tried to kill SELECT. START and it do the same thing (with VERY few exceptions, supposedly devs can get access to it) and only exist as backwards-compatibility. Ever notice how most games assign functions to face buttons instead of START and SELECT? This is why.

i got ur back bby

not meatball, metaball. look it up :)

SmileBASIC ints are 32-bit signed, two's compliment. 1-byte ints would be worthless. Doubles are just regular doubles like you would see in any computer.

Nope, can't take credit for the 3D engine. This actually doesn't use any real 3D graphics believe it or not.

3 metaballs, 1/8th resolution, 10FPS. This is even with a precomputed intensity table for the distance values. Hey, at least it's not 1FPS.

Oh, I'm sorry. Just realized you said "60 second, 60fps". My bad.

Shy Guy: A standard GRP is 512x512 pixels. When saved to disk, each pixel is encoded as two bytes. We want to find the size of 60 of these, correct? Thus, the equation 512*512*2*60 gives us the number of bytes. Divide by 1 million to get MB.
