I'm somewhat interested in Pascal. If I needed a retro programming langauge I would probably download Turbo Pascal and put on some ugly glasses and feel like a hacker. (After which I would probably start googling for retro implementations of Python because I'm only a wannabe.) PythonD 32bit Python …

@ThinkpadL: Which calculator model should be selected? Are you a robot, or a software based equivalent ? But okay, The demoscene started as an offshoot, to the software piracy scene. Where instead of saying hi to people in other software piracy groups(in their crack intros/cracktros), then they …

MrFlibble: You are a cool human being :-) we agree on many things, and yes I admit. That some "remasters" are source ports. Others are indeed remakes. semantics are probably what some people can be confused about. But as you mentioned "retro remakes". Well those are indeed remakes :-) And bloody …

MrFlibble: I still consider a carefully reverse engineered engine recreation a remaster. Cause it is working with a "source", even it is only the Dark Forces binary. The same goes to Strife Veteran Edition(if you use a source port and people have reverse engineered the original Strife, then it is in …

The cons (in my mind) with the KEX engine, is that the word remaster for the FPS games, they have made a "remaster" of (if we take it grammatically). Is a fallacy, since they do NOT use the source code. From the original games. Neither Quake 1 and 2 "remasters" and for that matter Blood , …

The KEX engine, is a fantastic engine. But it feels like in some ways a mixture between a good Unity engine, and a cheap quick SDL source port in the long run. Sorry for my sour burp, but KEX really irks me in the long run . Even though the engine is pretty spiffy and good. In some ways, it just …

Linux has no good video editors ? Kdenlive is perhaps not my favourite cup of tea. But the last music video I made for a friend. Was made with Kdenlive, and Kdenlive is good. OpenShot is another great video editor for Linux. And if I am not mistaken, both editors are open source. Perhaps I have …

Hi there. Please excuse my response, I know that you asked this keenmaster486, but I just happen to know about this. Both MS Word and MS Excel were indeed available on Windows 2.x. The latter had EMS support, at least. Along with Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, MS Project, MS Pageview, Ami Pro, …

Commercially speaking UltraISO is possibly, if not definitely the best ISO making program out there. But if you are looking for a free and open source, then Aaru is your goto. https://github.com/aaru-dps/Aaru

Highly interesting, when it comes to the chess game. Perhaps MrFlibble knows where , or perhaps he can find the source for that game. After all, he has made some great threads about either Open source and free games :-) So perhaps he can help with finding the source :-) Other than that, you could …

Cause it makes me think of great articles in great old magazines of a far gone time. If one were to accidently search "Atari Magazines" they might find themselves at a classic computer magazine archive with 80s and 90s issues of Compute! with all those fun to try programming tips and articles. …
