Axle has been using a low-resolution 8×8 bitmap font for font rendering, but the author wants to fix it. They explain that font rendering involves telling the computer which pixels should be on or off, darkened, or let the background shine through. They then introduce a minimalist text renderer that uses a simple data format […]
In this web content, the author shares their experience of creating an 8-bit, top-down, Zelda-like game using the PPU466 graphics API. They discuss different pathing techniques for the game’s monsters to chase the player, starting with basic linear pathing and then moving onto more advanced algorithms like Dijkstra’s and A* Search Algorithm. The author shares […]

The author reflects on their collection of single-board computers (SBCs) and their preference for the ODROID brand over Raspberry Pi. They highlight the dominance of Raspberry Pi in the SBC market due to its ecosystem and turnkey projects, but express their attraction to ODROID. The author showcases various ODROID models they own, such as the […]
In this web content, the author discusses traditional fuzzing methodologies that have previously been applied to TCP/IP stacks, highlighting their limitations. They then introduce a new approach that involves using an active network connection for fuzzing. Rather than building a custom TCP/IP stack, the author explores alternative strategies such as embedding hooks in the Linux […]
In this web content, the author discusses how to generate text using a simple Markov chain algorithm. The algorithm involves recording pairs of words from an input text and generating random sequences of words based on those pairs. The author notes that using two words to select a third word produces a good balance between […]
