Making Xibalba 64, A New N64 Release In 2026
Dominic Szablewski built Xibalba 64, a new physical Nintendo 64 cartridge game releasing with a manual and box art. It's a 3D FPS made with his own MIT-licensed engine, high_impact, which supports two-player couch co-op and four-player deathmatch. The engine is technically 2D, so he kept all levels flat to avoid dealing with elevation. Xibalba 64 holds a stable 60 frames per second, dropping only slightly in four-player split-screen. The N64 only has 4 kB of texture memory to work with.

What is malloc doing, anyway?
malloc has a very nice and simple interface: you ask for a certain amount of memory, and you’re given a void pointer to your block of contiguous bytes that’s been magicked into existence. Once you’re done with it, you call free with the same pointer and the memory disappears into the ether.

GTA.js, a reimplementation of the 1997 Grand Theft Auto engine in JavaScript and WebGL
Dự án GTA.js tái tạo lại engine của game Grand Theft Auto năm 1997 bằng JavaScript và WebGL, có thể chơi tại gtajs.wtf. Đây là bản reimplement chứ không phải emulator, nên một số vật lý và animation khác với bản gốc, nhưng engine nhiệm vụ chính xác dựa trên tài liệu mtd.doc. Tác giả sử dụng Gemini AI để triển khai hầu hết các tính năng, tham khảo tài liệu mở, ghi chú cộng đồng và trí nhớ cá nhân về game. Hiện tại game đã chơi được nhưng cảnh sát (cops) vẫn chưa được implement.
Lập trình viên nên đọc bài này để khám phá cách tái tạo lại engine game cổ bằng JavaScript và WebGL từ con số không.
