Chip of the week: The Nice-shaped Full Bit Adder!
That looks like we could do a nice array of those! #engineering #cpudesign #GameDev #IndieGame

Always wondered how some people managed to get so few transistors on their designs? Here's a new guide from one of the top HC players describing a detailed, systematic approach! A must-read for all people in search of advanced optimizations.

Chip of the week 512 Bytes Memory Bank!
A very large structure (compared to the rest of the game) of latches with synchronous read and write flags, made by one of the best HC players as a showcase!

OCG1 Final Week! The 4-bit AndOrXorNot shift a bit the challenge to a more structural one, but there might still be place for logic optimisation, by the look of the leaderboard!
Here’s a quick start for week4: youtube.com/watch?v=HNEk6FRs…

Adding a heatmap to see the render cost of each pixel is cool and very handy!
I should get rid of those red-hot spots 🤔. I already have an idea for reducing the ray-travel cost in empty spaces.
What optimization trick comes to your mind?#raymarching #indiegame #indie #render
