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

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

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

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

Use it as inspiration for another Spectrum classic!

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!

Hope you're feeling better soon. I feel shit myself today, I wonder if there's something going around.

Apollo 8 and 10 orbited the moon and returned without landing, they were test flights for Apollo 11, same as Artemis II is a test flight for Artemis IV.

As much as I love 2600 Superman, it would really bug me that the box side art isn't the normal font. 😄

You'd be amazed at the inventions that came from Space Exploration, for example: Memory foam, Cordless Tools, Scratch Resistant Lenses, Air Purifiers, GPS, Freeze Dried Food, Camera Phones, LEDs, Smoke Detector, Foil Blankets, Ear thermometers, Cordless headphones and many many others.

My channel 'Steves gaming part 2' was deleted by someone who had access to my computer. So begrudgingly I've started a new channel, this will be home to my gaming videos of games from the late 1970's...

ohh takeaway sounds good! You can keep the beer though. ;)

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.

I was always amazed by the amount of charm and character you got into the animations of such a tiny thing.

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
Got an email, they are looking into my deleted youtube account. finger crossed!

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.

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

Destruction is a superb episode! ...but then it's UFO so they are all good. 😀

Found out where the landlady lives, got a taxi there and I was banging on her door this morning to say this is totally unacceptable. Apparently she didn't know it was in this state (not sure I believe her) but she gave me the key to the top flat to use that kitchen. 3 flights of stairs up. oh joy!

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 23/12/2025
No idea but just can't believe they'd leave us like this, they've been working here for 9-10 weeks, they knew xmas was coming. it's just ridiculous
010
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!

The Tracy brother were named after Astronauts. What would female versions be named I wonder. Valentina, Svetlana, Sally, Judith, Kathryn? Not quite the same though is it?

Well that's more like it, yes!

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

Steve @stevesgaming.bsky.social · 07/11/2025
That is totally unacceptable imo and would put me off buying any of their games again.

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

Do it!!

Kinect was the sole reason I bought a PS4 instead of upgrading my current Xbox 360 to an Xbox One. I will not have a camera in my house, so as you couldn't at that time buy an Xbox One without the Kinect, I changed over to Sony.

are you going to treat us and show off your game?

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

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 · 25/10/2025
I think it's great (well the first series) I mean it's not as good as UFO but then imo nothing is.

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 · 24/10/2025
I'm really looking forward to this!
