Got movement and gravity working!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Wohoo!! sprite animation and movement in assembly! I'm taking this as a win 🙂

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

I'm setting myself small steps with 6502, my next goal is to actually animate a sprite!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Tinkering with C64 assembly. Made a step forward, managed to get a high res sprite and a multicolour sprite to show on screen.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Got VSCode working with Oscar64 to write C code for the C64 ...I just need to learn to code in C.

@pianofire.co.uk Nice to see you, hope you're well and hope you enjoy retirement! (sorry, can't pm you, it won't let me)

Just got a letter from the council, they want me to pay £2,482 council tax. Been on the phone with them and the best the can do is knock 25% off but it's still close to 2 grand. Fuck knows how I can raise that, I was told the council tax was taken out of my rent, this came totally out of the blue!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

I have suspicious now as to who deleted my channel. I have no proof but certain things seem to add up as crazy as it sounds. Have been changing my password to things like bluesky, discord, email etc tonight Still quite pissed but there's nothing I can do.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

YT just confirmed my channel is deleted permanently and isn't going to be restored. I'm so pissed off right now. waited 5 days for that reply too. No doubt if I'd had 100,000 subs they would have restored it in hours. Fuck youtube.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

Got an email, they are looking into my deleted youtube account. finger crossed!

140

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

2/2 in the wound, it said account closed by the uploader which is utter nonsense. I tried contacting support and posted for help, my post was locked and I got no support. I'm done with YT. as for Twitch, I'm not sure if I want to continue with that either, I'm so so pissed off right now.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

1/2 My youtube channel is gone, the first I knew was yesterday morning when I checked my email and I had an email saying "YouTube account was terminated due to severe or repeated violations" I've never broken a rule or even been warned. I checked and yes my entire account is gone and to rub salt

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

I am FURIOUS right now, Builders have been working on the flats here for 9+ weeks and I've just been told they are going now and wont be back until Jan 5th, but my kitchen/bathroom have NO power, can't cook or use the oven for xmas or even have a shower. I'm so effing pissed off, bastards they are!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

So.. my game actually works, no crash and you can move the guy around ..but the map is fubar and I really don't know why. hmmm!

020

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

I don't think its supposed to do that.. bugger

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Well that's more like it, yes!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Trying to make a screen up from tiles ...this didn't quite work right. oops!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Still plodding along trying to learn C64 assembly, struggling a lot but not giving up. Wifey asked "Why are you trying to learn this for the C64 when your love is the Spectrum" ..well she's not wrong! but I said "because I was told Z80 was 10x harder". she then agreed I was right to go c64. lol

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Today I'm having a change.. I'm going to have a play with Next Build Studio for the Spectrum Next.

031

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

I've been trying to set up a Spectrum Next dev via VScode and windows. Have tried several videos on setting it up but none of them have worked for me. If anyone has a text or video guide on how to get this working and it really works, please throw it my way!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

C64 Assembly Update: Got my sprite moving onscreen now! Part of me wants to push on to making an animated sprite, part of me wants to quit now and end on a high! 😊

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Yes!!! got my own sprite to appear, this was my goal when I started this, get a sprite on screen. I guess I should quit while i'm winning 😜

030

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

Actually that code didn't print all of them, it missed the last one. I moved inx down under the cpx line and now it does!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

Reading up on loops with C64 assembly. Managed to do one that lists the char set!

050

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

Well.. I can now put my name on the screen and change the border colour in assembly. thrilling stuff huh? Hoping to have a sprite on screen by late 2029 😊

@pianofire.co.uk wanted to PM you but this pissing thing won't let me PM anyone unless I do a facescan or input my credit card. they can piss right off. I just hope you're okay mate, I am thinking about you.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

I'm possibly doing the most stupid thing I've ever done.. I'm trying to learn C64 assembly. Hard enough for anyone, utterly impossible for a dumbarse like me, yet i'm trying.

040

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

Anyone using/used MPAGD - I have collectable blocks in my game, but how to stop them respawning when you've collected it and later return to the same room?

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

Working my way through the Boriel Basic book, got to page 171, 8x16 multicoloured font!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

I may do a short stream on twitch tonight to play my own Spectrum game. Hoping to get past level 9 so I can say I'm better at one game than @charliefar.bsky.social 😉

010

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Tonight I'm continuing to go through my Boriel basic book via ZX Basic Studio. Will I learn anything? probably not but I can try!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Huge thanks to the lovely @colinhoad.com for helping me with a bluesky login issue I've had.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

I just released my 2nd ZX Spectrum game. its a 20 level platform game, a kind of tribute to the Danterrifik games that I love. it's a free download if you have a Spectrum or emulator. Use 128k mode for music:- stevetyson.itch.io/boni

Working on a Spectrum game. You are a skeleton who needs to collect x amount of skulls in order to live again. The idea behind this is that white = safe and colours = death. Here is a sample level!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

I'm plugging my 2nd Youtube channel, Steves Spectrum Zone where I play (badly) new and old Spectrum games and have videos on Spectrum game creating, please have a look if you're into the Spectrum - www.youtube.com/@StevesSpect...

StevesSpectrumZone

Welcome to Steve's Spectrum Zone, this is a branch off from my main channel Steve'sGamingPart2 (Was Steve'sGaming) Here is purely ZX Spectrum content where I play Spectrum games new and old and perhap...

032

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Working on my 2nd Spectrum game but I'm undecided about the look. Colours or Black and White? tbh I rather like the 1 bit look of B&W but what do you think?

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

My Youtube channel is gone, I was deleting an unused old account '8bitsteve' last night and not only was that deleted but it also deleted my StevesGaming channel. Tried for hours to recover it but no. 3yrs of videos, almost 1000 of them all gone. I was so angry and upset.

100

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Just want to say I'm still around, got some really heavy shit going on but I'm still here for now. Hope you're all okay.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

Got Godot's autotile to work after much fannying around! :)

In memory of the late, great #DonPreistley who passed away late last year. Back in the 80s he worked mainly on the #ZXSpectrum & developed a style that was his & his alone! Here's some of his many titles. RIP Don - 1940-2024

Sad news: programmer Don Priestley, best known for his cartoon-style games like Trap Door and Popeye, passed away late last year after a short illness. One of Don’s friends shared the news on a Facebook comment. RIP Don (1940-2024), your games shine on.
