## Technical Details
Anarch's engine uses [raycastlib](raycastlib.md), a LRS library for advanced 2D [ray casting](ray_casting.md) which is often called a "pseudo 3D". This method was used by [Wolf3D](wolf3d.md), but Anarch improves it to allow different levels of floor and ceiling which makes it look a little closer to [Doom](doom.md) (which however used a different methods called [BSP](bsp.md) rendering).
Anarch is written in [C](c.md)99.
The whole codebase (including raycastlib AND the assets converted to C array) has fewer than 15000 [lines of code](loc.md). Compiled binary is about 200 kB big, though with [compression](compression.md) and replacing assets with [procedurally generated](procgen.md) ones the size was made as low as 57 kB.

### Bad Things (Retrospective)
The following is a retrospective look on what could have been done better, written by [drummyfish](drummyfish.md) (a potential project for someone might be to implement these and so make the game even more awesome):
- It might have been better to write it in C89 than C99 for better portability.
- Sound effects would likely be better procedurally generated just like music. It would be less code and data in ROM and the quality probably wouldn't be that much worse as the samples are shitty quality anyway.
- The palette used might have rather been [RGB 332](rgb332.md) instead of the custom palette, again less code and less data in ROM, though visual quality might suffer a bit and things like diminishing colors might require some extra code or look up tables (like in Doom).
- The python scripts for data conversion should be rewritten to C. Using python was just laziness.
- Raycastlib itself has some issues, but those should be addressed separately.
- The game is really a bit too hard (tho this can easily be changed in settings) and gameplay is not great (like explosions pushing player instantly, not too good, too few items, player often lacks ammo/health, ...), movement inertia could be in vanilla game to make it feel nicer etc.
- Some of the code is awkward, like `SFG_recomputePlayerDirection` was an attempt at optimization but it's probably optimization in a wrong place that does nothing, ...

**The engine** is possibly the most [interesting](interesting.md) part of the game as it used [software rendering](sw_rendering.md) that combined a ["2.5D"](pseudo3d.md) level rendering and "true 3D" polygonal models for things like level decorations, enemies and weapon view model. Not much is known about the internals as the whole code is proprietary and "closed source", we may only inspect it visually and through [reverse engineering](reverse_engineering.md). To us it is not known if environment rendering uses [BSP](bsp.md) rendering, [portal rendering](portal_rendering.md), [raycasting](raycasting.md), something similar or whether it just utilizes its 3D model renderer for levels too, however there are some 2.5D simplifications going on as levels are defined as 2D (no room-above-room) and looking up/down is faked (even for the environment inserted "true 3D" models, the up/down look is limited to just a small offset probably to mask the "2.5D" nature of the engine). In fact it isn't even possible to have different height levels of floor, all levels just have the same floor height (ceiling height can be set though)! This is masked a bit by using 3D models onto which it is indeed possible to jump. The game's level editor shows levels use a square grid on which however it is possible to place even non-90 degree walls. There is also a [lightmap](lightmap.md) lighting system present allowing [dynamic](dynamic.md) lights -- a pretty advanced feature, though the lightmap only seems to be 2D, just as the level itself. Destructible environment is also faked in some levels by having a 3D model behaving like part of a wall, then disappearing when destroyed.
Apart from the engine the game was also nice for being quite [KISS](kiss.md), taking similar approach to e.g. [Anarch](anarch.md) by using very minimal menu and controls: for example there is no door opening or "use" button, items just activate by proximity, weapon switching is also performed by single button. This is actually quite nice as setting up controls and learning them is many times something that just puts you off.

This is a brief summary of history of [technology](technology.md) and [computers](computer.md) (and some other things).
The earliest known appearance of technology related to humans is the use of **stone tools** of hominids in Africa some two and a half million years ago. Learning to start and control **fire** was one of the most important advances of earliest humans; this probably happened hundreds of thousands to millions years ago, even before modern humans. Around 8000 BC the **[Agricultural Revolution](agricultural_revolution.md)** happened: this was a disaster -- as humans domesticated animals and plants, they had to abandon the comfortable life of hunters and gatherers and started to suffer greatly from the extremely hard [work](work.md) on their fields (this can be seen e.g. from their bones). This led to the establishment of first cities. Primitive **writing** can be traced to about 7000 BC to China. **Wheel** was another extremely useful technology humans invented, it is not known exactly when or where it appeared, but it might have been some time after 5000 BC -- in Ancient Egypt **The Great Pyramid** was built around 2570 BC still without the knowledge of wheel. Around 4000 BC **history starts with first written records**. Humans learned to smelt and use metals approximately 3300 BC (**Bronze Age**) and 1200 BC (**Iron Age**). **[Abacus](abacus.md)**, one of the simplest devices aiding with computation, was invented roughly around 2500 BC. However people used primitive computation helping tools, such as bone ribs, probably almost from the time they started trading. Babylonians in around 2000 BC were already able to solve some forms of **[quadratic equations](quadratic_equation.md)**.

Ancient Greeks could communicate over great distances using **Phryctoria**, chains of fire towers placed on mountains that forwarded messages to one another using light. 234 BC Archimedes described the famous [Archimedes screw](archimedes_screw.md) and created an **[algorithm](algorithm.md) for computing the number [pi](pi.md)**. In 2nd century BC the **Antikythera mechanism, the first known [analog](analog.md) computer** is made to predict movement of heavenly bodies.

The topic of human race is nowadays forbidden to be critically discussed and researched (and even to be [joked](joke.md) about) due to the reign of [pseudoleft](pseudoleft.md) which denies existence of human races and aggressively [censors](censorship.md) and attacks any disagreement, however there exists a number of older research, information hidden in the underground and some things about races are completely obvious to those resistant to propaganda.

Here is a list of almost all historically notable women:
- **[Ada Lovelace](ada_lovelace)**: female nobleman who didn't have to work, once scribbled a note to a notebook about a computer made by a man. For this she enjoys endless glory among [feminists](feminism.md).
- **Agatha Christie**: one of the most famous UK writers, wrote books such as *Ten Little Niggers*, one day went nuts and ran somewhere into woods.
- **Beth Harmon**: female who was as good at chess as men, also a completely fictional character who never existed.
- **Elizabeth II**: queen of [England](uk.md), managed to stay alive for a long time.
- **[Elizabeth Holmes](elizabeth_holmes.md)**: cringe and creepy psychopath who obsessively tried to imitate [Steve Jobs](steve_jobs.md), started a huge [corporation](corporation.md) and manipulated uncountable people into a huge fraud, sentenced to 11 years in jail.
- **Emily Wilding Davison**: injured an innocent horse by jumping under it in a protest.
- **Helen of Troy**: cause the Troy war.
- **Joan of Arc**: militant nationalist [fascist](fascism.md), basically Christian [jihadist](jihad.md).
- **Judit Polgar**: best non-fictional female [chess](chess.md) player that at her peak managed the incredible feat of ranking #56 in the world while actually existing.
- **[Marie Curie](marie_curie.md)**: this one was actually probably quite skilled and based, won two Nobel Prizes (at the time when there were no diversity quotas so it actually counts), though she probably stole most of her work from her husband. She was quite ugly tho.
- **Olga Hepnarova**: ran over 8 people with a truck, later executed.

In November 2021 YouTube removed the dislike count on videos so as to make it impossible to express dislike or disagreement with their propaganda as people naturally started to dislike the exponentially skyrocketing shit and immorality of content [corporations](corporation.md) and [SJWs](sjw.md) started to force promote on YouTube (such as that infamous Lord of the Rings series with ["afro american"](nigger.md) dwarves that got like a billion dislikes [lmao](lmao.md)). In other words capitalism has made it to the stage of banning disagreement when people started to dislike the horse shit they're being force fed. This was met with a wave of universal criticism but of course YouTube told people to shut up and keep consuming that horse excrement -- of course [zoomers](zoomer.md) are just brainless zombies dependent on YouTube like a street whore on heroin so they just accepted that recommendation. Orwell would definitely be happy to see this.
[LMAO](lmao.md), as of 2022 YouTube has become the **kingdom of [clickbait](clickbait.md)**. If you're living in the future and haven't seen this, you wouldn't believe how ridiculously fucked up it is, the platform is quite literally UNUSABLE (but it's still consumable and addictive to idiots so it [works](just_werks.md)) -- ALL videos, including (and especially) those of the "serious" YouTubers (like mr. Veritasium), put absolutely misleading and downright made up lying thumbnails and titles, the videos have [zero](zero.md) [correlation](correlation.md) with how they're presented. Additionally the majority of thumbnails has to be occupied by some [femoid](femoid.md)'s breasts, even "educational [science](soyence.md) videos", so as to force children to click it and masturbate (YouTube can really be seen as a soft [porn](porn.md) site now). Everyone has to do it because [everyone does it](everyone_does_it.md). In other words capitalism is once again working as expected. Yeah and also **ALL videos include sponsored content**, again even the "educational science videos" that children are forced to watch at schools etc. -- this is in addition to "normal" ads that randomly play during the videos.

The YouTube slave shitheads are constantly bothering you and trying to trick you into "audience interaction" because that's what the algorithm pushes them to do with threats of starvation ("I think 1 + 1 = 3, please let me know in the comments if you disagree"). YouTube is not a place to find something useful, it's a place mostly littered by traps set up to exploit you and you can only hope to maybe get something small back for letting yourself be raped (well, basically like in any other for profit place).
