Soooo the libnix library takes up 1.1 MB by itself and that means nothing I cross compile from Linux to AmigaOS will work on real hardware, save for the Amiga 1200, and realistically the 1200 will need lots of Fast RAM expansion to handle it. Yikes... 😬

It also means I will need to fit the entire game within 300 KB or separate my boot + asset disks in order to even fit the game on a single floppy disk. Agh...

The other alternative is rewriting all the standard library functions my game uses in 68000 assembly.

Hi,

I am looking for an old laptop compatible with RHL7 (y2k) and MINIX 3. Nothing I own at the moment is sufficient.

I searched eBay for P2-class Thinkpads in decent condition but the Thinkpad enthusiast market has made those unaffordable to someone of my income, and I'm not very familiar with what other OEMs offered.

What is something cheap that anyone here has personal experience with and would suggest buying used?

My only requirement is that it's from before Y2K, and is from the pentium 1 through pentium 3 range, with an optical drive (readonly is fine). I'm aware lots of older laptops had ghosting issues so having a good LCD panel is a must, I can't be bothered with a VGA monitor/dongle. Do list the specs with your suggestions.

No desktops if you can help it, I have four of them in a single room already and the cables are becoming unmanageable.

Thank you in advance for the help.

>it's why I can't read most programming books because they expect you to learn with boring bullshit like writing a database or writing some dumb calculator

Make text adventures. They can help teach the fundamentals while still being fun. Depending on the game, they can also teach parsing and databases (for MUD-like games).

Well I just discovered through some comments that MAGA thinks the FBI are good guys now

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire is the closest thing to an actual Libertarian Party, at least in the US, but they really like to worship technocratic LARPers like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.

Would you be excited if the government started buying a lot of eggs?

How about if it started buying a bunch of gas? Or houses?

Then why the fuck would you be excited it's buying cryptocurrency?

I don't care about the LibreWolf team and their feelings about right-wingers and Bryan Lunduke. LibreWolf is one of the least bad browsers out right now. Until something like LadyBird becomes fully usable, this is the best we got.

If it truly bothers you, use Ungoogled-Chromium.

Bryan Lunduke has been banned from the Librewolf Matrix server. His crime ? Being Bryan Lunduke:

They're also starting to ban people who even mention Lunduke:

Such welcoming people.

My game is Linux-first. The Windows port comes later.

gamedev 

Added a delay after the player sprite disappears and before the level restarts. I kind of cheated by just copying the same transparent frame like 6 times just to give the illusion that there is a delay between the death animation finishing and the level restart, but the animation is still going up until the restart of the level.

I mean, I could just use a Windows VM, but I would do it if and only if I can get the latest version of MinGW and SFML running on Windows 7 (the last tolerable version of Windows, IMO).

I hate cross-compiling. MinGW for Linux is confusing as fuck. If anyone wants to play my game on Windows, then they can compile it from source (and maybe send me an EXE just so I can redistribute it).
