hi
In 8th grade, I wrote a game on the Commodore PET. You would
maneuver your avatar (an asterisk) through a landscape of
constantly-changing random blocks appearing and disappearing.
Kind of a funky maze game. Would have been around 1981.
Not only did I write it, I optimized the movement keys by using the
numeric keypad numbers as indices for two arrays that held +/-1 values
for x and y.
Was a lot faster than the "if then" chain I was using previously.
(This was in PET BASIC, of course.)
Recently I asked ChatGPT about the principle I'd used, and it called it
"time for space trade off". Posted about it in comp.theory in passing.
Message-ID: <101bvbm$58on$2@dont-email.me>
It's pretty obvious that pre-computing values can speed things up.
Orthogonally-related, I once made a lookup table for IPv4 unicast
addresses whose decimal representation was an md5 hash.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xxx xxx 75161927360 May 6 2016 md5_ipv4_rainbow.b
(Turns out, back in the days of Usenet yore, certain NSP's didn't salt
their posting-host hashes. Used it to figure out who was posting as
certain socks in a.u.k.)
do it again some day and didn't make a single penny off of it.
One of the oldbies here wrote "Bilestoad," and I'm certain you've heard
of that. If not, wikipedia.org will quickly bring you up to speed on
it.

Have you ever rescued all 64 hostages? IIRC my best was 60 hostages
