After writing "The Turing Machines Didn't Care" for the 11th pseudoannual text mode demo competition, I spent some time working on making my rgb->text converters better.

I then went and wrote down a chronology of sorts explaining the research I did, and the results, as well: http://iki.fi/sol/textfx.

I may do a 'final version' of "turing" using the latest and greatest, but I'm waiting for the results from TMDC first..

That is very cool! Your previous tmdc announcements made me create some text mode experiments too, but it only resulted in a brute-force slow thing. When I was searching for heuristics to speed things up I stopped, but I'll read your text for sure.

Very cool. I liked the demo, the only minor thing was that I needed to manually resize the window, because it opened with like 50% of the rendering height. I ran it on Vista. Besides that, nicely done, very cool indeed!

Yes, that's a known bug. The window-resizing code used to work, but either later versions of windows or the fact that computers got faster broke it. =)

Adding a simple sleep() in a certain place fixed the problem. As I mentioned, I may be releasing a "final" version later on.
