  • Well then pls get me an emulator for GamePark GP2X pls? Come on it isn’t even 20 years old.

    This is a very entitled take in my opinion, by all means. Further it shows me that you never wrote an emulator nor that you can even fathom how hard emulation actually is. All software that you use relies on external systems mostly your hardware and your operating system. Recreating both is extremely hard and time consuming so it is mostly done due to personal involvement and nostalgia. Both of which will not happen for something like python that is mostly used by scientists to cobble together c libraries.

    Without an os or hardware even an open source project will not be able to run. And this even ignores that emulators often don’t even run the software the same way so you are not really playing the same game.

    I answered a very very very polemic and populistic take and didn’t even say anything about how closed or open source code should be or how accessible software should be that is just what you interpreted into what I wrote.

    Because this was how you did geometry and math in general in ancient times even till around year 500. The biggest problem was to easily construct exact angles. because it is rly hard to construct a triangle ruler with old materials. but a circle can be constructed with a pencil and a string and with 2 circles you can easily construct exact angles.
