@mikejmika.bsky.social A little something cut into a playing card for your launch tomorrow :o)

If you needed it, I had a mad fast sort for my C64 multiplexer back at Ocean which people seemed to like - it's basically a continuous insertion sort (the source is up on my website, albeit in 6502). That would probably work well on a Z80 as you could do the insertion with the stack.

Yeah, that has me equal parts intrigued and worried...

Honestly, the people at Serif/Canva should showcase your work on how to really make Affinity Designer sing. It's a lovely piece of kit that I'm merely scratching the surface of. Your stuff inspires me to keep on tinkering.

Oh aye - that’s the fella - totally thwarted and signal spike attempts from me - in fact it would ignore any non standard signal.

Aye the “pass through” boxes would defeat it, mine relied on spiking the auto gain control on the twin deck hi-fis so you would get a drop out between blocks. It had to be inserted at the mastering lab manually with a custom tone generator.

Freeload used to protect against tape to tape in the twin deck dub hi fi's of the 80's like the ones from Dixons and what have you. I was proper proud of that! Speedlock did something similar on the Spectrum too.

Showing great promise...

Love this!

To all intents and purposes it appears that, sadly, labour are just Tories wearing red ties.

Big hugs mate - thinking of you fella. Hope all turns out well.

Nice one! Milly and Molly was a masterpiece.

Following on from my nerd out - that chap that almost solved it... Lovely use of a GPU!

Proper nerding out... I need help!

Good Lord, that takes me back...

The N64 is the only Nintendo console I haven't programmed. Kinda gutted I didn't get to work on it.

The install is positively tiny too. Must have another tinker soon!

It's a nice bit of kit, isn't it. I do like a tinker with it.

Luxury! My first game had to fit in 5K of RAM! My first 3D in 48K. I'm an old bastard!

Same for me except you chose what sweets went in the bag for your 10p. Halcyon days!

I was baffled when "penny arrows" went to 2p each! Ruined my ten pence mixture!

That was a shocker this morning from Gotham Chess. RIP.

Niiiice!

Laser Zone, Gridrunner, Matrix, RMC. Llamatron was sweet on the ST too!

Brilliant! It's been a while, mate! I'll see you there!

Aha! It must be true, then ;o) Whoop, Whoop. I'll get down to Cambridge one of these days - it's the one retro museum I haven't visited.

Bugger, it's on at the same time as Crash Live! (I hear a whisper that Mike Follin is going - not seen him in 36 years; pretty sure he won't recognise me ;o) ) Have a great time guys!

Blinky! The red boss! 🤣

This is crazy impressive!
