Creative Exercises at the Low Level |
text-white |
/images/modals/mr4th_lab.jpg |
**An exploration of untapped potential.**<br>Starting off we’ll map out the toolchains we use for creating and running executables on desktops. Then we’ll flesh out that picture with some low level details. And finally we’ll see how we can play with the pieces that exist to see new possibilities. |

Meese Engine |
text-white |
Get ready for Meese Engine on the Gamecube, Wii, and Dreamcast—a game engine that, against all odds, outshines official Minecraft in some ways.<br><br>With a jaw-dropping render distance surpassing Minecraft on the Switch and PS4, you’ll see those blocky horizons stretch further than you thought was possible on Nintendo’s little cube. Somehow, this console is pushing polygons and chunks into the distance with a 485 MHz CPU and only 24MB of RAM. |

Project Salarybot |
text-white |
**An arcade action platformer that really makes you really feel like you work as a robot for a living.**<br><br>Project Salarybot is a love letter to 90s arcade games bolstered with modern features. The game is meant to capture that hectic feeling of dropping a few coins into a machine with friends and frantically trying to claw yourselves to victory. An engaging combat system, different threats and objectives with every mission and an unsettling corporate history all await you and up to 3 friends in Project Salarybot. |

It's Not About the API |
text-white |
**Fast, Flexible, and Simple Rendering in Vulkan**<br><br>When you read about Vulkan in online forums, a common refrain is: "It’s over complicated, it’s engineered to only be useful for big companies with big teams making big AAA engines, it’s a terrible place to start graphics programming…"<br><br>People seem to feel similarly about the other modern graphics APIs as well. Are they correct? Are they missing something? Where should small teams working on renderers focus their efforts?<br><br>This talk will answer these questions, and in doing so, dissect what makes a good API and why. |

In Defense of the Free Software Movement |
|
text-white |
**A candid and thorough examination of the societal forces that shape software**<br>Does open source software make your eyes roll so hard you can see your prefrontal cortex? Do you pray to Richard Stallman every night before you go to bed? Either way, prepare to have your assumptions checked, your values questioned, and the Handmade [Manifesto](https://handmade.network/manifesto) itself scrutinized.<br><br>You can come with an open mind, or you can hate-watch this talk. Either way, pay attention, because it’s what everyone’s going to be talking about in the halls and at lunch. |
