@cmuratori @wookash_podcast Apple's JavaScriptCore uses a bytecode interpreter as the first execution stage, followed by three(!) JIT stages, with increasing compile times, for hotter code. A lot of work went into making JSC's "Low Level Interpreter" fast: wingolog.org/archives/2012/…

@wookash_podcast It says "no JIT" - so, I'm not sure what that means in terms of benchmarking, since presumably nobody else optimizes their unjitted perf?

Wait what

@AshleyGullen So how did you avoid the antivirus issue?

Had a bit of a light bulb moment, and... here's a Windows export from Construct running as a single .exe file - all resources packed in to a single file, in a way that antivirus tools hopefully won't see as suspicious. Pretty cool! Should be in a future Construct release.

More info about my original N64 game, Xibalba 64, soon! 18/18

I'm in awe of whoever designed this thing. A true hacker! Also, thanks again to lidnariq and everyone else in the N64Brew discord for figuring this out. You guys are the best <3 17/n

For my N64 game I wanted to support the Rumble Pak and stumbled down a rabbit hole of "not sure if genius or really dumb"-engineering. Libdragon, the system library I'm using, has this very convenient function `joypad_set_rumble_active(port, active)`. Simple, right? 🧵 1/n
