I just fed the Atari ST Turbo Cup disk image into Claude. I love this game, but the slow framerate annoys me.

Claude adapted the game to use STE DMA sound and blitter, and optimised a load of 68k code, resulting in an overall 45%(ish) speed increase.

Mind officially blown. 🤯

It's my GAME DEV anniversary! Been doing professional game dev/design for 39 years (started on the Apple ][+ 46 yrs ago).

Thanks to all my co-workers & friends all those years, & thanks to all the gamers playing the games we made.

The journey continues!

Happy 34th anniversary to Spear of Destiny, our commercial version of Wolfenstein 3D!

Seems like it's always been a little harder than expected to get that thing....

I thing I fixed qbsp so "pointfile" works again. @ID_AA_Carmack @romero @SandyofCthulhu @americanmcgee, is that what it should look like when there is a leak in a map? The ray goes from the leak to the first entity. If yes, I hope this did not induce a PTSD flashback.

The essence of Quakecon here. I did not have a ticket for founder photo. @Samhain78 had an extra one and kindly offered me to join. I am surrounded by Kings.

One of the best days of my life. I was able to talk to @romero how making the quake maps source code available helped me understand how quake clicked ( thank u so much! Also studying ur design philosophies shaped everything I do!), also gifted him a copy of BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER HELL IN THE FAVELA TRYING TO REVIVE MIT AIA I NEED TO CLOSE IT that I brought from Brasil to gift him :D , also talked about the cultural motives behind BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER, of showing the amazing culture of my country Brasil to the world.

Was also able to personally thank @ID_AA_Carmack for making the Quake source code available and changing my life deeply with that (You and Romero wanting that for the Id games changed a lot of lifes!!).

Was also able to talk to @ThatTomHall how much I freaking LOVE Rise of The Triad!!!

I’m so happy to have met my heroes!! I can’t really define how happy I am. What a amazing moment in my life.
