Cool functionality aside, it looks beautiful.

I don't know where are you from, but imagine your country being under devastating economic sanctions, then bombarded by enormously more powerful armies, then annexing a part of the country, all of that against international law. Make that process displace hundreds of thousands of people. Now when you imagine that, be honest with yourself and see if you would keep conversations at weather and sport.

It was really "popular" in 1984 and 1985, and for hobbyists only. If you started being interested in computers after 1985 there was a big chance to never hear of it.

It is not correct to refer to it as Soviet-Era. Using the logic from the title, Apple Macintosh is also Soviet-Era. Yugoslavia was never part of Warsaw bloc, it had its own political system and no USSR army on its territory.

You can still optimize this. If the scan has to establish line-of-sight between bots, your engine can establish that, and when firing raycasts, to skip those that are known to be misses. It doesn't change anything for the bot that fires raycasts. You could also calculate extremes (leftmost and rightmost) and return positives in between. This would decrease number of raycasts by two orders of magnitude. Also add a possibility to skip every 2nd, 3rd etc frame so that you can evaluate if it impacts game play.

Catholic church has history of being the lead in genocide, as for example in Croatia, where priests participated in killings of Serbs, Roma, Jews and Croats. Church also ran the only concentration camp for kids (Stara Gradiška) with countless kids killed by beating and starvation.

Any source about Church role during WWII coming from the Church itself should be taken with a lot of doubts.

Western powers didn't give up their doctrine easy. There was entire movement of anti-colonialism and non-alignment, sometimes followed by the wars for liberation - French Indochina, Vietnam, Algiers, just to mention few. If there were no wars, I doubt that western powers would give up on their colonies on their own.

The sixth unit had CP/M disabled, so accountants wrote it down as 0.7 units.

In Canada/Quebec too.

Probably getting smaller contracts, and not being employee.

Back in time I was sorting records on disk using Atari ST and (probably) Omikron BASIC. I applied RADIX sort (or a variant) that I saw in one magazine. It worked as a charm on RAM disk, but once when I tried it on a floppy disk, it just took forever.

It might be. However, I am from these parts of the world, and never heard of it.

Back in time I switched completely to left-handed mouse. It took about a week to get to a workable speed.

I am sorry for your health problem. I don't know if anything like that exists, but could you use your legs/feet to drive a mouse-like device? When I was a child, a teacher told us of a woman who learned to type on a typewriter (it was before computers became popular) using her toes. I wish you luck with figuring out what works for you.
