When the teacher says:

Quote

Plot n(g) as a function of n(a), using the tool of your choice.

so you write this:

scr = $4000 ; Position of screen data
; Look at address $4000 to $4FFF to see the screen
; It's a 64x64 bit array (pixels either on or off)
datX = $FF80
datY = $FF90
datLen = 10 ; 10 data couples to read

px_x = $0204
px_y = $0205
px_idx = $0206

it's pretty nerdy to have that much knowledge in trucks lol

I really only know a couple models of Kenworth trucks and that they start with "T-", I only assumed the T-800 was a think since I knew there was a T-880. European trucks on the other hand...let's just say ETS2 helped me out a bit with that. I mean, technically you could say that ETS2 first really got me interested in geography.

When I hear DDR in context of memory, it still sounds funny for me that they named the RAM type after the name of DDR state.

When you write an n-body simulation... then dream about it
