In case you're not aware, ImGui is a very nice library for rendering debug UIs (and sometimes even real UIs). I'd imagine a lot of game dev teams use it these days.

I saw several people calling this out. Is it because Nintendo is using it? It’s weird seeing a console game with a mouse pointer. A number of demo pics I came across shows this running on Wonder Boy: Dragons Trap https://twitter.com/lizardcube/status/935180533176438784?s=20 https://montreal.ubisoft.com/en/ubisoft-sponsors-user-interface-library-for-c-dear-imgui/ Looks like Ubisoft is sponsoring it, too Yay for OSS and not reinventing that particular wheel.

The neat thing is that there was a limited market of people using the Gameboy as a way of offloading the cost of making displays and processors for specialized tools like automobile diagnostics or fishing sonar or sewing machines, so even though this particular business version didn't succeed some people did.

i still have a handy boy and a pda i don't remember where i got the handy boy, i think i mustve asked for it as a present and been sorely disappointed at what it actually was, i never bought another major peripheral for any console i think i got the pda to use in high school to take notes and stuff. i just played solitaire on it, it was a useless device

I havent thought about PDAs for ages but man was my handspring visor kick rear end, it could poorly emulate gameboy games at like 5fps AND play an extremely tinny rendition of In The End until the speaker gave out under the stress I kind of miss having a digital organizer that took easily replaced batteries, modern smartphones definitely killed that market but modern smartphones also run out of battery quicker

I had a Palm Zire 72 that was pretty amazing for the time. Played NES games at full speed, SCUMM too. I could watch video and listen to mp3s. The best part was a universal remote app that I would use all the time to change the channel at places to cartoons instead of sports. The staff at the restaurants would always be so confused as to how it was happening. I need to replace the battery in the thing and get it working again for that reason alone. I wish my iPhone had an IR port damnit.

This reminds me of when kids would link their TI-83+ calculators to swap games. I was the only person I ever knew who actually bought the cable to connect to a computer so I could download whatever I wanted. I've played Doom on a calculator more than I have any other version combined. Nothing beat Phoenix though.

It's total bullshit that kids today still have to pay a premium to use what is now a 25 year-old model of calculator because schools are too authoritarian to let them just use infinitely more powerful phones they already own but the one upside is that it means there's still a small community of young developers continuously springing up so you get things like a fanmade calculator port of Five Nights at Freddy's https://www.cemetech.net/downloads/files/1250/x1250

I remember the teachers started making us clear the program memory in front of them before tests... then someone made and distributed a program that looked and behaved like that menu, but (of course) didn't clear the memory.

If someone is going to cheat you're not going to be able to stop them. This was true even before you could have gadgets the size of a business card that could contain the entirety of a thousand textbooks.

I know the entire discussion is a massive tangent, but the major consideration for calculator use in schools now has almost nothing to do with concerns about cheating from the school and instead has everything to do with standardized testing (state tests, SAT, etc.), and what devices are allowable on those tests. Since they have to use very specific devices on the test, part of teaching the course is getting students accustomed to the specific allowable calculators. Students absolutely do use their phones all the time in school, get pointed towards apps to help them, etc.

on the contrary i find that kids are generally quite good at detecting fake bullshit, it's like when old people worry about deepfakes and even to people my age it's just obvious that they're not real every time, if you grew up with AI generated fake stuff you get used to it and know how to spot it if anything it's a lack of memorization that's a problem, it's good to memorize stuff sometimes, even stuff that you can just look up, since it helps you form a complete picture of things. imagine if you never memorized a map of the world and don't know where most of the countries are, and if you watch the news or something you'd have no global idea of where and in what context something takes place. looking stuff up is fine for small details like "how do i fix a programming error" but it's much better to have a lot of that stuff just in your head where it can connect with other information to form a global idea same goes for poetry or music or literature. it's good to memorize poems or literary passages that you like so you can actually recite them, not just because it's pleasurable but because it helps refine your linguistic sense and tastes
