Video: How retro games calculated graphics.

Post by KingKire » 21 Apr 2018, 21:32

Fun video i looked at while browsing reddit's game dev area. I was always curious at how the exact math was calculated to get the weird game effects in the gba and n64. Turns out, theres a video for everything, and its not too shabby:

GoTo 16:09 if you dont want to hear all the mathy stuff (which is cool) and just want to see what it REALLY looks like when you were playing snes games
Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...


...

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!
