Hello pixel artists - I’m still looking for a few more beta testers to join me on TestFlight, to try out the palette conversion tool Composite (for Mac) that I’m working on, and give your feedback on the workflow, UI, and new potential features. Link:

Wow - impressive! Wonder if the MEGA65 will be a Commodore licensed product?

appreciate it, I will give this a try. I used AsmOne some 30+ years ago, and I like to think I still know how to :)

Thanks I just installed plain vanilla, and VSCode gives me a dialog: "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toString')", which I think is a reference to launch.json. I'm also not super familiar with VSCode, but it seemed like a good option.

I installed VS Code extension β€˜Amiga Assembly’ by Paul Raingeard. It can build from source with Vasm but won't launch FS-UAE.. Before I start debugging it, is anyone using this extension successfully on a Mac, or is there a better way forward? #amiga #assembler #vasm #vscode #gamedev

It has taken me forever, but I just released Composite v2 in the #AppStore with macOS 26 support. Free download for a week, so check it out, and feedback is welcome :)

Liquid Glass should have been an optional theme you could opt in to. Making it an OS level de facto style assumes everyone likes semi transparent layers of graphics, and have hardware to support it. Otherwise I like Apple, but this was a mistake imho.

Received my BASIC Beige #c64u yesterday, and it’s amazing! Come to think of it I never owned a c64 from new, they've all been second hand, so that's a first.

Ingen offentlige institutioner i DK burde benytte X (eller FB) til kommunikation til danskerne. Der mΓ₯ vΓ¦re bedre alternativer..

Season 1 was great though. Imagine they had ended it there, and everyone would be begging for more.
