On the other hand, the NES games' collision routines were with 99.6% certainly done in hand-written assembly; this article is about a JavaScript-based game engine.

It is a peculiar property of the software industry that "advance" means "able to do the same things as before, but more slowly".

Able to do the same things as before, but in a week instead of a year.

As far as I know there were no high level compilers for either the NES or the SNES.
