A couple of ideas:

Encoding holograms

• Model the object in 3D space (using Blender maybe?)
• Use the Angular Spectrum algorithm to model light propagation, its interaction with the object, and it hitting the recording medium.
• Your final recorded hologram should have two maps (aka “images”) across (x, y): a map of the light’s amplitude and another of its phase offset. This is your recorded hologram.

Decoding holograms:

• Use the angular spectrum algorithm again except reverse the light’s propagation direction. The amplitude and phase maps from the encoding phase are the initial conditions you’ll use for the light.
• The light’s amplitude and phase information you calculate at various planes above the recording plane are the 3D “reconstructed” image.

Last thought

Holography is often used to record information from the real world, and in that process it’s impossible to record the light’s phase during the encode step. Physicist’s call it “the phase problem” and there are all kinds of fancy tricks to try to get around it when decoding holograms in the computer. If you’re simulating everything from scratch then you have the luxury of recording the phase as well as the amplitude - and this should make decoding much easier as a result!

Google has way too much power & influence. BREAK THEM UP!!! This status quo is ridiculous.

I wonder whether Nukem would consider running again in 2024?

To git gud you gotta git commit and keep git push’n

Well, I did it! I played through Undertale start-to-finish last weekend! The ending was awesome! Thanks for the recommendation!

Cool! Speaking of South Park I surprised to read recently that Earthbound was an inspiration for Trey Parker when creating South Park. Or, at least, one of the South Park games. I see the connection though, a bunch of cute kids in a quaint little town who wind up dealing with epic monsters, aliens, piles of puke, insane adults, etc :D

Ha ha! OK! Funny thing is I actually already own it. My boys (teenagers) got it at some point, but I don’t know much about it.

I didn’t realize they are similar, but yeah I’ll give Undertale a go!

Thanks! This is almost exactly what I am looking for, except I’d like to be able to use it via my Anbernic RG280V. I know it can emulate an Amiga, but I was hoping to find something that would work with game pad controls.

Wow! What a cool video! And what a cool channel! I’ve watched a few now, thanks for pointing it out!

Ummm… This is fake people

I’ll give this a try for sure! Thanks!

Nice! Just the sort of thing I was looking for!

Cool, thanks! I see there is a browser version of the game as well!

I’d say PSX & earlier maybe. But I’m flexible on the definition.

I’ll give that a shot as well! Thanks for the recommendations! It’s so much better than searching randomly for “hidden gems”.

Just spent the last hour playing and it is awesome and addictive!! I tried both the Genesis and TurboGrafx versions and I preferred the TurboGrafx because of the better use of screen real estate. Also, the USA version has some of the satanic imagery censored, so I’d suggest getting the uncensored Japanese version instead (which is also in English).

OK, I’ll get the fuaion emulator. Whyat do you mean by the Genesis being long dead? Is this game not good on Genesis?

Never heard of this before, but just watched a YouTube video and it looks awesome! I’ll give it a try on emulator later!

Agree completely. Feel like I missed the boat on Elder Scrolls, but would have loved it as a kid/teenager.
