For 1997 and home computer tech the animation on Floops is crazy smooth. Like genuinely impressive, since it took big work station setups to crank out stuff like reboot in 1994 onward.

[@samsammich8465]

honestly the vrml format hasnt changed that much, and is still in pretty wide use as a cad format. The file structure has changed a bit from awkward hard to parse text, to xml in x3d but the nodes and attributes have just about stayed the same. Vrml 2 came out in 97 so he could be like a tech demo for that.

[@warbossgegguz679]

Or how games like DKC literally had to be made on the same computers as Toy Story because that's just how hard it was to render smooth 3D animation even for the sake of prerendering.

[@warbossgegguz679]

@𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐀 𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐀 yes and also no. They fully animated them and then converted those movements frame by frame. The result required an absurd amount of coding magic, and the tech was still SUPER OBTUSE and complicated and cost an absolute fuckton. So obtuse and dated in fact that when they made the GBA ports, the way they got the assets was literally by scrolling through levels and sprites in debug mode on an emulator and just rebuilding the mechanics on top of them, because that was genuinely easier and more reliable than using the floppies they had on a decade old SGI computer.

[@alfo2804]

​@Warboss Gegguz Actually, no, it was because most (if not all) of the assets were completely lost. If it was just because it was 'too hard' then they wouldn't have used the original assets in the Donkey Kong Land games or in DKC GBC

Oh God, VRML, this is bringing some PTSD flashback. So, I had this class at uni called "Virtual Reality", a _Computer Science_ class. We had a single hour of that class where we touched a VR headset, not even related to the class, just as a little fun thing to do. The rest of the class? VRML. I kid you not. And no, I didn't go into uni in the 90s, I graduated in 2021. This was probably the second biggest middle finger that university gave us.

[@helicopterus1934]

[@stacy__fakename]

@@JacobKinsley Apples and oranges. Offering a "Virtual Reality" course in the 2020s that deals with VRML instead of working with HMD hardware is a pretty clear misimplication on the university's part. There's no charitable reason they would do that - everyone with any power over this would have to be grossly ignorant to do this on accident. Even then, it's a lot more likely that the university wanted to have a "Virtual Reality" course to make themselves sound more impressive and lure in interested students, and figured VRML was the absolute cheapest possible thing they could pretend they meant all along. Because why actually have the impressive course when you can save money by tricking people? C is a language that's still being used. It's still incredibly useful, so being taught C when you wanted Python is okay. No one uses VRML anymore. It's a massively outdated standard that you need to jump through hoops to even access today. Being taught VRML when you wanted to learn how to write VR apps is a fucking insult.

[@sumjester]

Damn programmers really have it hard huh? Well probably same goes for the other courses too but sheesh im mad at the fact that none of my teachers are actually giving any feedback, lecturing or mentoring while we work and just tell us to leave if we are done.

@Acceleration Quanta the fact anyone liked such a brainless and immature take has further decreased what little faith in humanity I had left. Like, I fully agree that American and European copyright laws are broken. I joke regularly that a communist country is more true to the free market ideal in that regards than the supposedly capitalist US because the government is in bed with monopolies thanks to regulators. ... but to say "corporations shouldn't exist" is effectively telling me you don't know what a corporation is without telling me you don't know what a corporation is. Its some anti-work redditor tier shit. A business being a corporation is effectively self-determined and/or structural factor and exists for tax reasons. It's also a better choice in basically all regards compared to defining yourself/your Business as, say, an LLC. So most businesses of even moderate size are corporations. They may be private and therefore not traded on Nasdaq or other markets, but they're still corporations. The main thing that enables corporate entities to act this way are regulators/lobbying which is a RESULT of regulation rather than a lack of it, or in the case of YT/Alphabit and Twitch/Amazon they're private entities that enforce strict copyright BS for the sake of staying in the good Graces of other large entities.
