Deconstructulator

Yes, deconstructulator quite a bit, and a Super Mario one at that. Care to find out more? Intrigued already? Then click here. Or read a short description of deconstructulator penned (well, metaphorically of course) by its wise creators themselves:
This is a deconstructed Nintendo emulator that shows how sprites and sprite memory are handled while a game is being played. The intent is to show insight for how software and hardware work, given the relatively simple example of a minimal architecture from an old game console system.
Now, click here.

  7. i remember a do it yourself adventure game kit for the PC letting you design your own graphics etc... surely it would be a simple matter to bundle a construction kit along with a 360 game and let you mess about with the graphics, models and sound.....

  9. Well, there's a make your own game kit of sorts for Xbox360, but it's based on C# and doesn't come for free... Besides modding would beat the whole financial point of selling consoles... The hardware's cheap, and companies have to rape players for every cent they 're worth...

    Oh, and I do believe you meant to post these comments someplace else... :)
