Sometime since the end of 2015, I was also looking at different bytecode implementations with intentions of looking for good tricks to use in my own bytecode interpreter. In a brief chat following, Vlambeer's Rami Ismail voiced largely-reasonable concerns about whether the approaches used would be viable for NT.Īt the time I didn't feel like arguing about the fact that lack of online multiplayer means that many people won't get to play the game in coop at all, so I did not continue the conversation.
