As a kid I bought the A500+ with money made from delivering newspapers. Unfortunately sold it. Today some 25 years later, after much regret, I picked up this one in great condition

I found CotEditor in the AppStore - highly recommend it. I’ve added 6502 syntax highlighting and it’s just perfect now :)

#SpriteKit, yay or nay? I mean I've used it before, and apart from the bugs, I quite like it. But is it considered old and soon to be deprecated by #Apple, or is it still cool?

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: testflight.apple.com/join/RzVgrBq3

I installed VS Code extension ‘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 :)

Morty @morty-40.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

for MacOS development, #SwiftUI or #UIKit? Or both?

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.

Rambo 3 loading screen remake vs. original #amiga #graphics, 320x256, 16 colors. For the conversion I used Composite v2.0, which is now also available for beta testing on TestFlight: testflight.apple.com/join/RzVgrBq3

The app I launched in the #AppStore in 2025. Thanks for the downloads guys, and I'll be bringing many more updates in 2026. Feedback is always welcome.

Happy New Year! Let’s make it a good one.

Ahh - off from work, which means I can program something other than health tech and medical devices. Like for instance my pet project Composite. Here is some of the upcoming UI #swift #cocoa #macos26

Anyone in DK get their c64u yet? The suspense is killing me 🎅

I made a color picker, and it took a long time, but look it has RGB and HSL, taking inspiration from Deluxe Paint :)

I'm hoping for something beige under the x-mas tree this year 🎄

Composite is now FREE in the AppStore for the rest of 2025, while I work on MacOS 26 support and a bunch of nice new palette conversion features for version 2. Enjoy.. :) apps.apple.com/dk/app/compo...

Another trip around the sun. A few more gray hairs. I try to keep it secret, but thanks anyways.

Question: What details makes pixel graphics look ‘converted’ vs ‘hand pixelled’? I know Floyd–Steinberg dithering, Ordered 4x4 dithering, etc, will give it away, but what other details do you pick up on?

Using the k-means clustering algorithm to find a palette from an image, and then, using k-means clustering again on the palette grouping the colors into color ramps:

Today, the strangest thing happened. Xcode predictive code completion actually suggested some code (one line, but still) that actually really worked! :)

Morty @morty-40.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

Testing out a new idea for determining which colors in a palette can be mixed in dithering, looking a distance in luma (Y) and chroma (UV) individually. Just research for now. 128x128, 12bit RGB, 16 colors.

I'm normally quite enthusiastic about #Apple products, but #iOS26 and liquid glass, not so much..

Internal floppy, external gotek, boot selector. Very happy with this setup :)

Installing new (old) floppy drive in my #amiga to go through my old disk collection, only to learn 90% have died from read errors. Will reformatting make them usable again, or is this a terminal state?

Importing Lospec palettes directly into Composite is now really simple #lospecdaily

So, I once made a mobile game called Danger Grid. It was my side project for like 6-7 years. It was great fun but also way too much work for one #indiedev. It finally shipped in a 90% finished state, as I could simply not invest more time into it. I often imagine making a sequel though :)

Morty @morty-40.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

Interpolating colors, sRGB color space vs. LAB. Supposedly HCL is also good for color interpolation, but in my own unscientific research I just think LAB looked better.

Can you merge someone’s personal iCloud storage into a shared iCloud Family storage? And then cancel the personal iCloud. And not losing data/photos in the process obviously :) #Apple

@lospec.com Hi Lospec team. I’m happy to announce that Composite 1.6.0 supports importing Lospec palettes using the ‘slug’ for reference. If you want to include it in the tools section, here is the AppStore link: apps.apple.com/us/app/compo... Cheers!

Almost there - working on support for downloading palettes directly from Lospec.com into Composite #lospec #pixelart

@wearecommodore.bsky.social, any plans for a 1702 Ultimate? You know, like a Checkmate monitor but with more brown :) I'd be happy with 20", 4:3, 50/60hz

On a Mac, what are the 68k #assembler options? I.e. for #Amiga cross development. I used Asm-One back in the day.
