MarsFS @8bitlegend - Bluesky Profile

A Level 2.5 teletext page with a dark green background on which there a spread of five playing cards. The top-most card on the right is the ten of clubs, the cards underneath are the jack of clubs, queen of clubs, king of clubs and the ace of clubs. The clubs on the cards are not blocky but are high resolution images courtesy of DRCS character definitions.

QTeletextMaker v0.8-beta released. The Level 2.5 #teletext editor now renders DRCS characters and slightly improved diacritical'd G0 capital letters.

Grab a Windows exe from the zip at github.com/gkthemac/QTe... (mind the SmartScreen warnings!) or compile the source on Linux with #Qt6 and CMake.

Latest version of BeebEm available. Without such great work as this I don't think I'd even attempt any retro development as such.

Lave in the Compendium version of Acorn Electron Elite

The Constrictor mission in the Compendium version of Acorn Electron Elite

A Dodo station in the Compendium version of Acorn Electron Elite

A Thargoid in the Compendium version of Acorn Electron Elite

It's done! I have just released the Compendium version of #Elite for the #Acorn #Electron.

This massively enhanced version of the original game contains pretty much every feature of #BBCMicro Elite, but on the Electron. Just add 16K of sideways RAM.

Links in thread.

Feature list for the Compendium version of Acorn Electron Elite

My new version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite is feature-complete! Now for some testing.

Here's the feature list. It’s big! Big enough that this is effectively a Compendium version of Electron Elite; to sit proudly alongside the #BBCMicro Compendia. 🫡

Not long now!

My favourite musician that ever lived just died 😭. Rest in peace Sylvester Stewart!
I will never forget the first time I heard 'You can make it if you try'. It was one of the best moments in my life and I will never forget that feeling. Fly high Sly! #slystone

Electroniq Acorn Electron emulator

Electroniq WIP. New and improved version online. Now handles anything a real Acorn Electron can (famous last words). If you don't get a stable 50fps (looking at you Firefox) please try a different browser (or system 😉). Any issues? Let me know here or on github... 0xc0de6502.github.io/electroniq/

I use TinyTake, it works pretty well for recording emulator windows with sound, and I refuse to update it in case of any changes that might netf it.

After 10 years - and the reason I started my art and my art program to solve this - today I finally set out to do what I wanted - in code. A poster fell off the wall one day that I bought. As I sat on the bed looking at the wall I thought 'Could the Acorn GXR Rom re-create that?'. I have arrived.
