C++ functions are NOT first class citizens. C-style functions != member functions != lambda functions. Those are fundamentally different types and can't be exchanged for each other, even when they have the same signature (e.g. through std::bind). That's absolutely annoying.
Update to iOS 17.5.1 on my iPhone has somehow made iCloud photos worse. I know that it was supposed to fix something, but my iPhone now stopped syncing new photos. IPad is still doing fine, though.
Question to my bubble: how to I compile a GAL .PLD file to a .JED file? I know that one can use WinCUPL, but is there a (command line) open source replacement for that? I am not feeling like trying to get a Windows program running now...
We have a resounding success: 8K of cache is detected by the interpreter!
And Zork 1 loads quite fast! Further benchmarking will follow, also from a real drive -- I just loaded this from SD2PET. I will put this in a future video, so keep your eyes peeled!
„The German Version
In 1986 then video game journalist Boris Schneiderundertook one of the first documented fan translation efforts:
Over the course of one weekend (!) he single-handedly cracked and translated the C64 version of Murder on the Mississippi into German by using a simple hex editor and a self-written disk editor. He then sent "his" translated version of the game to Activision, which they officially released in Germany.“
My childhood trauma was watching "The Tripods" on German TV (ZDF) and not getting a third season! About 15 years later I finally read the books and could get some closure. And now I have the DVDs! Did you watch this series back then? What did you think about it? #johnchristopher#TheTripods
So the batteries in my #psion3a ran empty. This was the opportunity to ditch Tristam Island for now. The inventory mechanics were a little too annoying for me. So… how about a classic? Bronze by Emily Short. It is slow as molasses, because it’s written in Inform7, but still works fine. Even got the compass rose in the upper right corner! #interactivefiction
