Welp, it’s supposed to snow the next 15 hours, somewhere in the 5 inches range. I think I’ll watch TV. HAHAHAHA, right. My 6502 Breadboard computer needs to be moved to some PCBs. Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to solder we go…
My “The64 mini” will be going into my airplane panel soon (I can’t bring myself to cannibalize one of my real machines) but for now it’s become the calculator on my desk. This 7 inch screen is also going into the plane. #commodore #c64
So far your score resets to zero if you don’t stay VFR and the fire button changes the plane color. I made a list of gameplay I’m going to add a little at a time. It even sorta looks like a Zenith which wasn’t easy with a 24×21 pixel sprite limitation.
Phone apps are cool I guess, but I’ve always been a hardware device person. These make regular rotations on my desk. Hat tip to my son for the mechanical stopwatch.
Persistence paying off
Combining several 80s programming books and magazines with 5 or 6 of @8BitShowAndTell ‘s video walkthroughs to really accelerate my Assembly skills. Zero to being able to prototype in 3 months. Backgrounds, BCD scores, sprites, joystick and keyboard inputs all at once now. #c64
