    "The more constraints the more opportunity for creativity". I agree. First time in my life I have heard an artist say and teach that. Usually I hear "Don't stife my creativity with your constraints".

    You mention a book at the end by Steve Hudd but don’t say the name. Can you let us know the name of the book?

    It's a book called Making Atari 2600 Games by Steven Hugg. You can find it on Amazon.

    Honestly, the TIA is too much brainf*ck for me. Counting CPU cycles to show a sprite in the right horizontal position is nuts. I'll never see an Atari game the same way again...

    Maybe you should prepare your stuff before making a presentation. It would make everything more fluid and less painfull to watch/listen to.

    if you overcome the embarass of the pauses you're able to metabolize and put in line all the notions you've just heard. A good class also have to have good students.

    Agree its disorganized. However, I dont know the circumstances of his presentation. As a presenter I have been ask at the last minute to do a presentation with no opportunity for preparation and had to make do with with I had at the moment. Very uncomfortable situation to be in but when you are ask by your employer or organization you work with you do the best you can.

    For me it was quite ok to follow, actually admired how much good the flow was even with the chaos of pulling content directly from the file manager.

    So this guy is a teacher and doesn't even prepare or use a slide deck? Terrible. Real shame as its interesting content but annoying to watch.

    If you're relying on a slide deck, you probably aren't a good presenter.

    Yeah. Slide decks are for support. Just look at Burger Becky. She does a great talk and doesn't use slides.
