PEOPLE: - Satoru Iwata, age 49. Programmer on Balloon Fight, President of Nintendo. - Toshihiko Nakago, age 52. Programmer on Balloon Fight, Super Mario Bros., and The Legend of Zelda. - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 56. Director & Producer of Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. QUOTE: Iwata: HAL Laboratory worked on the [Famicom] version of Balloon Fight while… Nakago: We worked on the arcade version. … We wondered why the player's movements were smoother on the home version and asked Iwata-san for advice. Iwata: That's when I told Nakago-san everything I knew. One thing I recommended was that instead of calculating the character's position using integers, they should also calculate it using decimal points, thereby doubling the precision. In this way, calculating gravity, buoyancy, acceleration and deceleration all become more precise and the movements look smoother. … Nakago: … I remember Miyamoto-san complaining: “Why do you have to go to another company to find this stuff out?” [laughs]
