I agree! and hopefully, here, I can safely re-iterate my sentiments from the message board without fear of the Bane. It seems to me that with your amazing visual and pauls amazing audio accomplishments recently, the rennaissance of the 2600 is truly at hand. It is doing things I never imagined possible, and I cannot wait to see the first homebrew projects/demos/games that really show off these new techniques (just the proof of concept work is already incredible. I was floored by that baby, floored by an actual colour bitmap being displayed by a 2600, floored by pauls music, etc.) Thank you so much for all your hard work (aka Godzilla on AA message boards,) (aka Kickass from Stella long ago.) So... whatever happened to that tank and airplane game I was working on with ? (piero ?) god it was forever ago. He said he finished the kernal... (ah, erik mooney,) (started with this message many moons ago: http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/199709/msg00019.html here erik reveals himself, after working in secret with me http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/199709/msg00090.html the graphics data & rough game info (after erik gave up,) I need to find those old iffs :-) http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/199808/msg00042.html ) ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Davie <atari2600@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <stella@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 3:49 AM Subject: Re: [stella] Optimized color reduction approaches > > Yup, there is a thread about this on AA: > > http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20445 > > Unfortunately it has become a bit unpleasant lately. :-( > > Thomas is always a pleasure to work with and bounce ideas off. > Unfortunately, the AtariAge thread has attracted one or two people who don't > know how to constructively encourage experimentation and progress - and > instead belittle and/or disparage the participation of others. > > Enough said - the fine Stella gang to the rescue! > > > to the previous one.
