Nothing but gratitude for the support my tools have been getting. The hard work pays off in the end. Each tool has been an organic process of development over the course of 4-10 months. #C64 #Amiga #8bit

When you ctrl-c something in #picotron, the clipboard text is also valid lua that returns the object that was copied, so you can just paste it into your program like this:

A nerd with taste known as Justin Prine is making a F-ZERO game for the Nintendo DS that will work on original hardware, and he's shared a prototype video with us to give you a taste of his work. This looks awesome, and I'd love to see it on retro dual-screen handhelds too. 🚀 More info: retrododo.com/someone-is-wor…

Here's the full launch trailer for Beep's Escape, featuring the waterfall animation, jumping fireballs and explosions, and a genuine loading screen, all fully ZX Spectrum compliant. Enjoy!

The little struggles... picking up coins or other things (& hence erasing the sprite correctly on all 4 buffers) when they are only partially visible at the left edge of the viewport... was pretty challenging. Also, no more preshifted tiles but on-the-fly shifting while plotting

I'm such an idiot. In all the excitement I forgot to promote Beep's Escape. So if you fancy playing a humorous little adventure game where you help a little robot escape captivity - in a graphical style that is faithful to the ZX Spectrum graphics - check it out!

All the noise about AI in games and all the slop in Steam's Next Fest has gotten me feeling a bit meh about making games again. When I was making Beep's Escape it felt magical. Not so much now. Might go back to drawing retro textures for a while. It feels like a safer space.
