An interesting paper on speeding up jittered post-processing effects.

Gaseous Giganticus, generating gas giants for "Space Nerds In Space".

Slideshow explaining what it does and is -> https://smcameron.github.io/space-nerds ... how.html#1

There have been a few previous threads about this stuff on here, but he's just now split it into a separate repository on GitHub.

Video describing how DMA and HDMA were used for visual effects in the SNES. Really interesting watch, nicely explained.

I just read this article on the wavefuction collapse for procedural generation of content. Very understandable, if one has zero knowledge going into it.

Most implementations and explanations of Wavefunction Collapse are of a full, performance-optimized version of the algorithm. These are of course important and necessary, but can be challenging to make sense of from a standing start. This post keeps things clear and simple by focussing on a constrained version of Wavefunction Collapse

OK, this was seriously cool, you need to see this Fluffyfreak:

That's a great use of Portal rendering tricks. I also feel his pain at asking "Why am i always writing engines?".

Neat video on fitting a game into 40kb

That was very cool. I love those optimization stories of how they squeeze out the most out of every single byte.
