I was doing a search on polydactyly and ran across this:







and on the same page I found that little fella, I found this chick and learned about hypertrichosis

Maybe hypertrichosis is the beginning of a new branch of humans, so that one day the population will look like something from a Final Fantasy game. Lionel the Lion Faced Man looks like someone I would expect to see in an RPG world.

Rummaging around the Pouet site makes me rather curious about something. For instance, this demo was in the 4k category:



(For the non PC-literate, 4k is about the amount of information that will fit on two typewritten 8.5x11" sheets of paper. It's a staggeringly tiny amount of data.)

I just can't buy it. These demos have got to be downloading large amounts of information at runtime. How is that not cheating?
Add a little bit more space, and you have yourself a Quake clone called .kkrieger. This game fits within 96kb.

They don't store any textures within the game file, just the procedures used to generate the textures.

The renderer is the one part where I raise an eyebrow, and go "wtf?" - that's specifically why I include the "I could do it if I was able to use libraries."

So long as you could define the objects in a small space, and you had a highly intelligent library for the renderer, I do not see why you could not do it in 64k, or even 4k for your other one. Seriously, pay attention to the 4k one - it's basically one single object manipulated throughout each section of the demo.

Also, when two pistons do the job of one, don't you get twice the friction, twice the pumping effort to lubricate and cool the associated hardware, and twice the weight?

And, what exactly is the advantage behind having someone else compress the air and hand deliver it to you, besides the obvious additional paths for failure?

From what I gather, this engine has to be boosted, just like a miller cycle engine. Well, don't conventional engines run just fine employing boost - in some cases hybrid, complementary systems such as a SC feeding a turbo?

Sorry guys, but it sounds like asking the neighbor to deliver cupfuls of electricity to my place so I can watch TV.

Somebody please enlighten me if I am waaay off base here.

Quasiturbine principals look more promising than this.

You mean, me, or this concept?

On an unrelated note, a quasi anything principal reminds me of that famous scene from The Wall - How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat...

i think the lack of polygons is what makes it possible, something like point cloud or voxel-based rendering. ive seen a few promo videos claiming incredible levels of detail in small files sizes using these alternative rendering techniques. none of which have become mainstream for whatever reason.

edit: suprised this didnt come up yet in the thread:
