It's criss-crossed with fiber, the ICT policy is very open and the leadership friendly. Also it's a small country.

No probably about it - it worked like a charm.

> but the proper way to do it back then (and the way drivers work today) was to hook an interrupt that gets fired when the audio buffer needs to be filled.

Which was much more trouble than it was worth when writing a 64k intro on a deadline.

I remember using a circular buffer for a MOD/S3M player I wrote many moons ago. I think you called a hardware interrupt to enable the Gravis or Soundblaster to read from a block of memory and send it out to the speakers at the right frequency, and then made sure that you fed enough data into the buffer. It wasn't even concurrent - every loop, just mix enough of the track to fill the buffer and write it. Simpler days...

Awesome video. The compilation he refers to is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RD9Zc2kwpI. As a Barca fan I remember the very early compilations.

Personally I think that if you grab another player's clothing or impede him with your arms or hands while he has possession, it should be an instant red card.
