Gradient Blaster Amiga OCS/ECS Gradient builder tool

Maybe gradient-blaster.grahambates.com could be of help. The “Amiga OCS/ESC interlace” target works with 15 bit, too

Amiga memories - Cecconoid YouTube video by Martin Piper's mostly Commodore related memories

I look at #Amiga "Cecconoid" published in 2024 by Thalamus. It uses a dual playfield mode, with CPU updating particles, the blitter modifies particle code, and hardware sprite multiplex with the copper.

Poking fun at “Whoah, that LLM trained on natural language talks like a person!” is nice and all, but that meme could me more niche and retro! 😅 #sca #amiga

GitHub - losso3000/coppenheimer: An alternative UI for vAmigaWeb with realtime memory inspection An alternative UI for vAmigaWeb with realtime memory inspection - losso3000/coppenheimer

Yes: github.com/losso3000/co...

The pressure to do an update increases… 😅 vAmigaWeb has advanced quite a bit since the last release, and I would love to cook up new debugging features interacting with the vAmiga core

Ah, Martin is on Bluesky, too, so thanks again! This made my day.

Also, obligatory shout-out to vAmigaWeb and vAmiga, the awesome projects all of Coppenheimer is based on. And thanks to Daniel of amiga-news.de for pointing me to this video!

Awesome: Coppenheimer being used in Martin Piper’s latest behind-the-scene tech videos! www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1AP...

Weird: I was checking where my comment went in a anonymous browser tab (it’s gone), and auto-translated audio is the default now on YouTube?!

Crashing with style

Nice! Or, easy to remember and applicable for darker backgrounds: Just use 0x44 and 0x88, mix until stylish 🙂

Snowflake – Amiga Pointer Archive

Why are there so few snow flakes in the mouse pointer archive?

You can draw one yourself with the editor (hint hint), but I have a hunch that there are many disks I still need to dig out… Time to take a closer look at .lha, .adz, and .rar files 🤔

Hand holding a first-gen iPhone SE with a cracked screen, showing a pixel editor of kinds

The new project is nearly ready, but it doesn’t scale down nicely on the 1st gen iPhone SE. 😢

That’s a no-go. That device is barely ten years old! (Which is, by chance, the very thing sane people would say to dismiss the issue… 😅)

A Teletext picture of Santa Claus alluding to the classic "I want YOU for U.S. army" recruitment poster. Santa is smiling and the text reads "Santa wants YOU", and in smaller print "to have lovely holidays"

A screenshot of a StackOverflow page "Javascript - I created a blob from a string, how do I get the String back out?" with the language tags of the code snippets in the answers highlighted: go, scss, delphi, vbnet, javascript, csharp.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23024460/javascript-i-created-a-blob-from-a-string-how-do-i-get-the-string-back-out

Handling strings and blobs in the browser is hard – you don’t only need JavaScript, but also *checks notes* Go, SCSS, C#, VBnet, and… Delphi! 🤓
