John Tukey the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) inventor, who coined both "bit" and "software" died exactly 26 years ago today.

The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), one of the most important algorithms in signal processing and data analysis, was introduced by Tukey & Cooley in 1965.

In 1805, Gauss - studying the orbits of asteroids Pallas and Juno - came up with a method to interpolate their trajectories from discrete samples. What he came up with was mathematically very close to the modern FFT but Gauss never published that work, and didn’t analyze its computational complexity. It predated even Fourier’s 1822 work on heat diffusion - but without the framing or generalization that Cooley & Tukey would bring 160 years later.

In 1965, Cooley & Tukey published their now-famous algorithm that reduced the cost of computing a Discrete Fourier Transform from 𝑂(𝑛²) to 𝑂(𝑛 log⁡𝑛). This leap made real-time signal processing and digital media compression feasible.

From radio telescopes to JPEGs, from audio codecs to quantum mechanics - the FFT is everywhere. It’s one of the most important (and elegant) algorithms of the 20th century - rooted in the genius of Gauss, but brought to life in the computer age.

Happy Friday! BIG NEWS!! Our game, The Nyanja! has been delayed again and while that might not be good news to some, the big news is that The Nyanja is officially being ported to the Sega Dreamcast! We will have a playable demo as well as a way to preorder that next week. See the following post below for more details!

Memory, GPUs, storage, physical media. Every path to ownership is being squeezed, priced out, or eliminated.

AI data centers are gutting the consumer hardware market, and Sony killing discs is part of the same anti-consumer direction.

You own nothing. You rent everything.

$100 for a dressed-up reissue of games that regularly sells for $12 loose is embarrassing.

Iam8bit has mastered the art of taking the cheapest possible retro release, wrapping it in “collector” language, and charging nostalgia tax at boutique prices.

I made the world's very first pixel art feature film.
It is three hours long.
Since I created it without anyone asking for it, I am still struggling to get it out there.
However, what is made cannot be unmade.
If this work is the real deal, it will eventually find its audience; if not, it will simply fade away.
I dedicated five years of my life to this endeavor.
I refused to let my journey end with just Segagaga and Astro Boy.
And now, I have finished it.
It is mine.I am currently paying a heavy price for this choice, but I have absolutely no regrets.
Nobody else has ever done this. As everyone gets older, no one would ever dare to do something so foolish anymore. But I did it.Please take a look if you can.
I would be deeply grateful if you could see it and understand who I am.

初代『METAL SLUG』ミッション２のボス『ヘアバスター リバーツ』は、『紅の豚』に登場する、美少女をさらうことで知られる空賊の大手『マンマユート団』が駆る飛行艇『ダボハゼ』のオマージュなんです。

主人公の『ポルコ・ロッソ』の愛機『サボイアS.21』も素晴らしいデザインなんですが、継ぎ接ぎだらけで生活感のある鈍重な飛行艇『ダボハゼ』に一目惚れしました。
宮崎駿先生が描く、ステキなラフスケッチで見るメカデザインは、���時間でも眺めていられます。

実は『METAL SLUG』の企画の起点は、娘が偶々見ていた宮崎アニメ『名探偵ホームズ』だったんです。

大勢の犬の警官たちが、モリアーティの乗り物に次々と飛びつき、力ずくで取り押さえようとする描写を見て、あの手やこの手で戦車に挑んでくる兵士たちが頭に浮かんだんです。

主人公ではなく、敵側の兵士が演じる、憎みきれないバイプレイヤーの群像劇を作りたかったという、ちょっと変わった着想が『METAL SLUG』の始まりでした。

前々から不思議に思っていたんですが、ラスボスっぽいモーデンが、なぜ２面のボスとして、早々と登場したんだろうと。
６面では案の定、何食わぬ顔でシレッとラスボスとして再登場しています。

『ヘアバスター リバーツ』の墜落事故で、身体のあちこちを高性能なバイオニックに置き換えられ、『600万ドルの男』よろしくサイボーグとして復活したんだよという見た目に変わってるとかだったら、納得したかもしれないんですが、何事もなかったように現れるもんですから、なんだかずっとモヤモヤしているんです。

30年前のお話ですから、細かいことは覚えてないんですが、その記憶を辿ると2面と6面を担当していたスタッフは作業の進み具合がかなり遅く、予定は未定のまま進んでいたと思います。

もしかすると、本来モーデンは２ボスとして作られたキャラで、ラスボスには別のキャラを用意する予定だったのかもしれません。
それが間に合わず、結果的にモーデンが２ボスとラスボスの一人二役を演じることになった…。
そう考えると��『ヘアバスター リバーツ』撃墜後、『フライング・タラ』に救助されるモーデンという変な演出も、辻褄合わせだったのではないかと合点がいきますね。

仕事の遅いスタッフがツギハギしながら何とか形にした姿を想像してしまうんですが、実際のところは結局よく分からず、モヤモヤと迷宮入りです。
