😎 So, the ’60s might be cool
Jurgen:
Take a look at this cool gang from 1969. With glasses and thick black suits, they’re working away on some kind of old computer playing simple tunes.
No wonder Britain had such a hit with the software industry in the 1980’s when you could have done it in high school in the 1960’s there.
💻 This is how games are made in Rust
Kurt:
Is it possible to write a “first person” 3D shooter with less than 2KB of code? Yes, at least if you write it in Rust!
This step-by-step article goes over how to program a Wolfenstein 3D-like shooter in Rust, and also explains the algorithms that made Wolfenstein 3D It seems like 3D – Even though the game wasn’t actually in 3D.
Then just fire up the code editor and check it out This article.
🛸 Will there be a lot of conspiracy theories now?

🤯 Geez, is that a drone?!
Jurgen:
A few times every six months I think I like a drone. This is one of the coolest I’ve seen. Egg-shaped, it looks like it straight out of Star Wars.
💡 Check out Ambient!
Kurt:
And speaking of game programming in Rust: now some Swedish developers have created it ambient – An open source runtime that will facilitate the creation of multiplayer games based on WebAssembly, Rust and WebGPU.
According to the people behind the project, you should be able to program games in any language that is compiled into WebAssembly, but initially only Rust is supported.
What’s impressive is that with just 10 lines of Rust code, you have what it takes to handle multiplayer, represented by simple 3D cubes on the screen.
🤨 Artificial intelligence and mental health
He died:
The highly cultured American paper The New Yorker has an interesting and well-written article on the role that artificial intelligence can play in treating mental illness. check outside!
😯 Amazing what people do
Kurt:
Even I’m too young to remember the Commodore PET – but it’s fun to see what people could do with a machine from the ’70s.
Who calls himself shiru8bit 1 period ago experimental For the Commodore PET 4032, it’s called “Back to PET”. The demo was built using an emulator, but YouTuber voidstar ran it on an emulator genuine Commodore PET.
It’s really amazing what shiru8bit was able to achieve on a computer from 1977 with a 1MHz processor!
