On to the next project. Using my Macht Engine, of course. Larger world to expore. Changing things up a bit. Whatever could these 'nodes' be?

メガドライブでパワードリフト作ってるのをみてて、作ってみたくなったので、AIに頼んで作ってもらったのだけど、パターン番号,z,x,yのリストが一周分プリレンダリングしてあって、横方向に移動するとズレてパターン番号とZから絵を選択するって作るとそこそこ小さく高速に描画できた。

Whoot!! I've gotten my generic c-target in my OmniPas cross-platform Pascal compiler to now target Amiga!! It just needs a standalone make.bat file and other options supplied in a dialog box targeting c-targets :) I don't need to change my compiler...

Nothing but gratitude for the support my tools have been getting. The hard work pays off in the end. Each tool has been an organic process of development over the course of 4-10 months. #C64 #Amiga #8bit

When you ctrl-c something in #picotron, the clipboard text is also valid lua that returns the object that was copied, so you can just paste it into your program like this:

A nerd with taste known as Justin Prine is making a F-ZERO game for the Nintendo DS that will work on original hardware, and he's shared a prototype video with us to give you a taste of his work. This looks awesome, and I'd love to see it on retro dual-screen handhelds too. 🚀 More info: retrododo.com/someone-is-wor…
