@robertprice.bsky.social I tried compiling the code with BASCOM and it’s quite a good illustration of how much more speed you can get! Not quite as fast as ASM.
@fuzzweed.co.uk This is The Way!
@fuzzweed.co.uk Amazing!
@robertprice.bsky.social Wayhey! Very satisfying to see the project coming together, looking forward to the write-up. 👍
@mattround.com But those who love it are all the richer for it!
@vektxr.bsky.social I really enjoyed your article 😁
I agree that’s a great, semi-curated way to explore such a VAST software library. I also love delving thru random old stuff that just might be treasure, eg I found a letter between school pals saved in BASIC print statements on the B side of a mag cover tape. 💕📼
@sonicyoda.bsky.social Probably ate too much pizza.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Fresnel-web
@retrotechtive.bsky.social I like the fizzy sour ones the best! 😋🍬
@breakintoprogram.co.uk I’m not sure about debugging features but generally it seems they’ve come a long way in the past few years. I think SSF and Yabause are still/actively being developed, but the new kid on the block is Ymir.

@breakintoprogram.co.uk I’ve been reading/watching ChibiAkuma’s tutorials which make it seem more approachable than I’d assumed. Jon Burton’s GameHut demonstrates the deep magic (parallel/DSP stuff) but that makes my head spin!
@breakintoprogram.co.uk Heh I immediately zoomed in on NiGHTS! Did you ever do anything on Saturn/SH2? I’ve been thinking about dabbling with some 2D stuff.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Om nom nom nom (I like the blue ones)
@fuzzweed.co.uk I’ve never thought of counter-snorkering my printouts. Lovely stuff!

@gavtrdq.bsky.social [Accept new worse thing] [Maybe later]
@gamesblackhole.bsky.social That would be great. We Spectrum and SAM nerds could do with a re-stock too, please!
@gavtrdq.bsky.social That’s exactly the sort of insight that’s worth the price of a Kit-Kat.
@zxguesser.bsky.social RRRrrr frrrrr frrrrkk zzzrrk. Rrrrrl hrrrrrvv trrrrr srrrrrrt rrGrrrn.
@whathosnorkers.bsky.social Oh, yeah! I think that was my first too. Caught part of it on TV or something and then thought about it for YEARS until finally seeing it properly!
@fuzzweed.co.uk Personal computers? Oh if you insist. Just remember 1) do not expose to water, 2) keep out of direct sunlight, 3) do not feed after midnight, and whatever you do, do NOT connect to the Internet
@breakintoprogram.co.uk Hahah, amazing! I genuinely didn’t know they were a thing. A device worthy of the name “Science Oven” after all.
