I spent ages playing it, and still remember building my stages and characters (for context: there is a built-in level editor, and you can draw your own playable characters, pixel by pixel, frame by frame), I don't think I'll ever forget such a unique game...

Are you telling me that whenever you work with Digital Storage units you should never use scientific notation?

I don't see any reply from OP so I'm growing confident that what you're talking about is not OP's point.

Often times when coding you may want to quickly write down 2MB but you may need to type it in bytes, so either you calculate 2 * 1024 * 1024 while coding, or you remember the number 2097152.

Now, since 2097152 is not such a common number that one would remember, you may quickly turn to the globally acclaimed ~~oracle~~ search engine to get such an answer, but all you get is a number in scientific notation, approximated, without an option to read it in standard decimal base. So you have to open the calculator and ask the same question again to get the answer you need.

If it helps, try to ignore what's in the search bar and tell me if it makes more sense.

Edit: Additionally, if you were to NOT use the scientific notation, the length of the result would be shorter:

2,097e+6 (8 characters) vs 2097152 (7 characters)

I don't think that's the issue, OP also changed from 1 to 2, so I believe they basically want to know the result of 2 * 1024 * 1024, but the issue is that the result is written in scientific notation.

I have been using exfat since it has support for big ISOs and is compatible with Linux.

The ST400 does NOT support ext4, but I didn't care much: I wanted a partition scheme that was accessible from both Windows and Linux.

I don't recall ever having to change the firmware for that, nor for NTFS which I have used the very first time when testing it out.

For my use case, I am using a cheap 120G ssd on which I only keep ISOs, so I never found myself needing multiple partitions...

Edit: The documentation does say that it supports multiple partitions, but again, I never tested that out, so YMMV...

Hope this helps.

Have you tried Qt but with QMake instead of CMake?

Use Qt Creator instead of Visual Studio.

It is much much easier to manage the project with QMake in my personal opinion, and Qt Creator blends beautifully with the Qt Framework with the kit manager, and the form designer, qmake/cmake integration...

Qt (Framework) manages so much behind the scenes that cross platform is trivial.

My reasoning for suggesting unlisted instead of private is because the recipients might not have a YouTube account, so making it unlisted means they're certainly able to view the video.

Have you looked into Cloudflare Tunnel? It's a turnkey solution that does exactly what you want. No idea what the cost is though.

Sadly I don't have a modern equivalent of this game, but I have to say I am really into it since I do kinda enjoy the medieval ambient/theme.

Standard C does not have typeof. That's just a compiler extension...

Also the equivalent of typeof is most likely decltype or auto.
