| advancement (indeed, he was a bus driver when he was most
| prolific with his videos).
|
| Small 3D engines, C trickery, reverse engineering old video
| games, soundchip coding, creating a terminal emulator.. all that
| sort of gritty, low level fun stuff. Go to
| https://www.youtube.com/@Bisqwit/videos - hit "Popular", and find
| something that catches your eye.

| Fanboy over and out.. :-)

| video a week or day just to feed the algorithm.

| I hadn't seen that article.
