u=t*((t>>13)&31&t>>9)-((t>>7)&23&t>>3)

What is this ?? Well it's a very interesting thing I found on the web the other day.

If you have a bitbox please download and run this small (3.1kB) program - it needs sound, not display. (I'll provide the code  - which is really not much more than what is in the title .. and some background info soon).

Controls : plug in sound output, also try to press the bitbox button. I really like the 8th one ..

(edit) for those with a linux computer, here is a sdl backend compilation of the same code ... ans a big hint

new game : Dragon's Lair !


Ah .. such a nice game to play on the Bitbox ! (see Angry Video Game Nerd or Joueur du Grenier reviews ;) ... )

The game is open source and the release is here : https://github.com/makapuf/bitbox-fmv

For more info about the game see : http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/games/pages/dl.asp
for Bitbox itself see main repo / wiki : https://github.com/makapuf/bitbox/



dragons lair! 


This game / engine is aimed at reproducing the dragons lair game on the Bitbox. It's only compatible with the standard bitbox since the data is streamed from SD card.

Back from FOSDEM

I got back from the FOSDEM a week and but didn't have the time to write about : here are some small notes about it.
