Two things, one certain and one likely. THE CERTAIN ONE IS NOT THE WINDOW'S FAULT. Snake's pause loop said "at the emulated rate this is about an eighth of a second", and it was, when a cycle was one instruction. A cycle became one memory access, every loop in the machine got dearer, and this one silently doubled: the game has been running at half the speed it documents ever since, in a terminal as much as in a window. Measured rather than guessed - the inner loop is a DECA and a BNA, one byte and three, so four cycles a turn, and a whole run went from 3,848,610 cycles to 1,920,504 when the outer count came down from 256 to 122. Almost exactly half, which is what the arithmetic said it would be. That is the cost model change reaching a program nobody thought to re-measure. Worth looking for others: any loop tuned by eye before that change is running at half its intended speed. THE LIKELY ONE is the frame limiter. Without the vsync hint, Raylib sleeps towards sixty frames a second on its own clock, which beats against a display refreshing on its own - frames shown twice or skipped, and the machine handed an uneven number of cycles each time, since it takes its budget from the wall clock. The hint puts presentation in step with the screen. SetTargetFPS stays for a driver that ignores it. Snake is one byte bigger, because RSTB became INIB.

//
|
|
// The same machine SplitBit runs, presented through a window instead of a terminal. Every
|
|
// instruction, every device and every cycle is in machine.c and shared; this file opens a
|
|
// window, gives the machine a slice of time per frame, and shows what came out.
|
|
//
|
|
// THAT ORDER MATTERS AND IS THE WHOLE DESIGN. The devices belong to the machine and advance
|
|
// on emulated cycles, so the same program produces the same frames and the same samples
|
|
// whether or not anybody is looking. Raylib presents; it does not decide. Which is what
|
|
// lets a test suite with no display hold this binary to the same behaviour as the other
|
|
// one.
|
|
//
|
|
// The window shows what the video device produced and decides nothing about it. Render is a
|
|
// pure function of video memory, so the same program draws the same picture whether or not
|
|
// anybody is watching - which is what lets a suite with no display check a screen.
