#vintage #programming #c This adds a static bitmap background. critically, I finally got my 20 year old code together and it now properly generates a mask that's 1 pixel thicker than the sprite itself. And all that, working with multiple animation frames. All bundled in an E-Z to use function.

the 4000 rolling hour race is on 😐 (youtube partner program)

a chart showing curves of number of watch hours on the vertical axis, and the date on the horizontal axis, between sep 2025 and feb 2027. A solid orange curve shows a plateau at 1800h, increasing sharply to 2800h, but starting to fall off in august 2026. 3 dotted lines with conservative, normal and optimistic scenarios project into feb 2027. only the optimistic clearly surpasses the 4000 hour bar.

Master of Orion, 1993 MSDOS game from my favorite era of PC gaming. I love the 2d pixel art in 320x240 much more than the early, awkward 3d era that followed a few years later. Just got the box in the mail today. The disks unfortunately no longer work.

CRT monitor showing the main galactic view of Master of Orion. The main square view is of the galaxy with named star systems. There's a right panel tab with planet info. There are menu tabs in the bottom such as GAME, FLEET.

It is 2026. A kid coded this superbasic program for hours for father's day, on a Wildbits/K2 (6502/816 based wedge computers) The father is the owner of the #Wildbits line. It's think it's fair to call this wholesome!

Mike C wrote a superbasic for a #wildbits computer (fmr. known as foenix retro) that's very easy to learn from, using connectivity with the wifi chip, fetching data from NASA and displaying the ISS coordinates in real time. I've let it run for about 30+ hours

map of the world with a black background and green outline of the continents. Many curves made by blue dots are representing the passages of the ISS over the map. The words "S.P.O.T. Satellite Position and Orbital Tracking" is at the top and the latitude and longitude of the current position of the ISS is on the bottom.

someone (thanks, furan) did this pixel animation on a LED matrix wall which looked so cool I had to reverse engineer it on my #wildbits K2 using 2 layers of smooth scrolling tiles. I added a fm synth menu music from System Shock, I felt it fit the vibes.
