Szene-Party: Evoke (Köln, 12.08. bis 14.08.)
Im August findet in den AbenteuerHallenKALK in Köln die diesjährige Auflage der Szene-Party Evoke statt. Wie üblich werden diverse Demo-, Grafik- und Sound-Wettbewerbe veranstaltet. Spezielle Kategorien für Retro-Computer sind nicht geplant, 8- oder 16-Bit-Produktionen können in der Kategorie "Alternative Platforms" eingereicht werden - hier ist dann aber u.U. eigene Hardware mitzubringen. Für Pixelgrafiken und Protracker-Module werden allerdings Wettbewerbe angeboten.
Auf der Veranstaltung wird auch die schwarmfinanzierte Dokumentation 8-Bit Generation: The Commodore Wars vorgeführt. (cg)

This does save up to 12 (3*2*2) switch statements per instruction.
- Condition-code checking is now done via a 16 entries long function-table instead of a switch-function with 16 entries.
- Optimized condition-code calculations.
- Fixed/removed DIVU-remainder calculation, also new and faster DIVS.
