| Jun 28, 2011 at 15:14 | comment | added | jprete | "I learned 6502 very early and never needed floats in most of my programs...for speed of an object I add ints and divide the value to know whether to move a pixel or not." These are very unusual ways to accomplish these tasks in modern practice, except for representation of money as long cents. | |
