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 :)

Thanks for the update. Provided you had a large collection of (eg c64) pixel art available, could you extract the ramps from there?

Can we make apps for it? (In 6502 assembler?)

funny, I'm also working on a 2d game with a mole (Marvin Mole) and in that game also developing auto tiling of walls :)

Thanks man, I used Composite, a tool that I'm developing. It is available in the AppStore for Mac.

Maybe a 20” 4:3 1702-styled monitor next?

Brave move, credits for that. I hope you will be successful. Personally, it’s not for me.

#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?

Morty @morty-40.bsky.social · 05/04/2026
Good luck, AppStore can be a tough place for indie games :) Looks like fun though.

Very happy with my VW EV, and I'd rather support a european car maker. Wouldn't want a Tesla even if it was free.

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

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 ‘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 :)

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

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.
