Lookup-tables

A technical guide showing real-time spectral rendering is feasible using Monte Carlo wavelength sampling, a 1D lookup for importance sampling, and a Frostbite BRDF, with modest overhead versus RGB.

A technical breakdown of the 8-Bit Guy’s ultra-short BASIC maze trick for the Commodore 64, detailing three speed optimizations and the hardware-scroll bottleneck, anchored by the creator’s YouTube subscriber data.

A technical, data-rich guide on implementing and optimizing an overhead map camera in C64 BASIC, with concrete map dimensions, memory tricks, and multi-phase performance enhancements (LUTs, 1D maps, and unrolled loops).
