they're gonna bring Clippy back as an LLM aren't they?
a few good reasons to have a deterministic particle system that integrates final particle positions at the time of render instead of updating with time deltas:
- you can play it backwards
- it's completely framerate independent
- you can dynamically adjust the particle count without changing the particle shape
- particles will always behave consistently in game state replays, etc.
- can be done completely on the GPU
only real drawback is world space particle movement becomes more complicated

can anyone recommend any good audio/sfx design talks?
i was too lazy to write an editor for my game's effects system, so just made them reload on file change and live editing effects in JSON and seeing it live reload in the game might actually be better (and infinitely easier) than having a bespoke editor

Short blog post about "Everybody Wants to Crank the World", a #playdate #demoscene demo I made recently https://aras-p.info/blog/2024/05/20/Crank-the-World-Playdate-demo/
Calculating only some pixels both spatially and temporally is pretty much the same as DLSS, right? :P

i wrote sea floor elevation, added a bump mapped render and put together a live demo of the reverse elevation and waterway technique!
folks supporting me on patreon can see it here (there's a link to the live demo and a password for you in the devlog):

After many optimisations of my 6502 code, a smaller landscape (88x48 wide pixels) runs at 25fps, while a larger landscape (128x48 wide pixels) runs at ~13fps on a stock Acorn Electron
