  • Most of the stuff on GoG should fit the bill. You still can use it as a website to shop for a game and get a installer exe for it. Without any additional launcher.

    As far as documented network go, I’ve never seen more than games listing a couple of ports for servers, never anything like ips or actual network protocol descriptions. I guess anything with user hostable dedicated servers should be fine.

    Problem is that those old games have very low online population, so I’m not entirely sure how much “casual comraderie” you’ll find.



  • That’s an interesting approach. The Traditional way would be to go by game score like the AI Mario Projects. But I can see the value in prioritizing Bullet Avoidance over pure score.

    Does your training Environment Model that shooting at enemies (eventually) makes them stop spitting out bullets? I also would assume that total survival time is a part of the score, otherwise the Boss would just be a loosing game score wise.

    Bringing more modern tools and features to existing large code bases is “destroying his reputation”? Bjarne and the committee is constantly extending and modernizing a language with code bases older than me. Yes that means the old stuff has to be kept around but that is the price of allowing existing code to migrate gracefully instead of just throwing it out of the window. There is a problem with some missing rails to enforce current and saver techniques but Bjarne is not denying that.

    So the HDMI founders are Philips, Panasonic, Sony and Toshiba Known for their Players and in part TVs. The HDMI Forums consists of the rest of the TV Manufacturers and the big names in component Making (Analog Devices, NXP, Realtek, Qualcomm, etc.). So they are all members of a cooperation dedicated to “encouraging and promoting the adoption and widespread utilization of its Final Specifications”. I hesitate to call their decisions on connectivity options unencumbered by interests.

    oh btw: Anti-Trust does not require to there be no competing offer, just vast majority of market share.
