I'm Paul, an indie software developer and retro machine lover; especially the C64! I also do 3d printing when I can, but my printer is in storage right now.

So DICE is a native c-compiler for hardware, not a cross compiler then?

Announcing DICE-nx dice-nx.dev, a reboot of the DICE C Compiler suite for the Commodore Amiga originally written by Matt Dillon in the 1990s and recently re-licensed as BSD. My new fork supports AmigaOS 3.2, self-hosts, fixes a number of bugs. #clanguage #amiga #retrocomputing

I've created a page for my Gameboy version of miniMIKE! Only the 9-cave demo is available as I'm figuring out publishing etc but you can try it out! It's pretty much complete now I think ☺️ It has awesome tunes by @TomcatTiptop! syntaxerrorsoftware.itch.io/minimikegb

After a lot of head scratching and debugging my Gameboy miniMIKE project, it looks like I've finally gotten 7 room high levels working including the Minimap! That means the maximum level is 56 tiles high and the game steams in the correct rows from the larger level data 💪🎉

I would kill or die for Larry
A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

#C64 #Delphian progress: minor update as I've just added the horizon curve at high altitude. Next step is to add a planet in space (and I have a circle draw ready for that). Then comes re-entering orbit, and then return to surface flight. Oh, and did I say I'm having lots of fun with this?😀🥰

#C64 #Delphian progress: not the most impressive video clip ever... but here's the WIP 3D system showing wireframe with hidden surface removal working. I still need to optimise some of the maths further... then the next step is (probably) solid polygons!🙂

#C64 #Delphian progress: still WIP and a bit rough, but solid polygons are now working.🙂 Time for a bit of optimisation... My aim is to give the player graphics options: wireframe for speed, solid for visuals (and sacrificing speed). Of course a 64Mhz C64U will have no issues with solid polys.😀

One of the more prominent titles on the #TurboGraFX / #PCE was undoubtedly "Legendary Axe" And despite the system lacking behind the other 16-bit systems, it was still a fun game And "Monster Bath Games Inc" has recently startred work on porting the game to #MegaDrive #retrogaming #homebrew #Sega

My Gameboy editor is really looking the business now...it can handle tile sizes (8x8, 8x16, 16x16, 32x32) like GBTD, and now handles the Gameboy HW palettes (1, 4, or 8 depending on the Gameboy variant palette selected; Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy, Gameboy Colour, etc)

#C64 #Delphian progress: revisited the galaxy generation, and now it's down to ~5500 stars. Feels like a better number. Also, sorted through my paperwork from the 80s version, so next step should be a complete game design.🙂 Might look at doing polygons too, but that might be a bit too much...🤔
