QOTD - January 202530th January 2025 For my vic 20 games, sometimes quite a bit out of necessity to achieve speed or reduction in size or both. Anything from game logic to data and structures. It can be rewarding and frustrating but ultimately I enjoy creating things in an environment that ha*snip* |

W.H.Shutdown27th January 2025 WHSmiths used to be a great shop for me. Along with John Menzies and Boots, and later HMV and Virgin Megastore, it sold everything I was into. It first began to decline when it pulled out of DVD sales, and then became very expensive. My kids were still qu*snip* |

Back to Windows24th January 2025 I've really wanted to love Linux, but I've always struggled with it and I have no patience to tinker anymore. I've got a lovely Intel mac book from 2010 which let me run osx and Windows at the same time thanks to great VM support. Used that for*snip* |

Switch 217th January 2025 Now that's a good idea. I also found it was comfortable holding at an angle on the edge, if you know what I mean. And finger on the shoulder button. The new joycons are larger which might change things. I hope they haven't done something stupid wh*snip* |

Switch 217th January 2025 Guess we'll find out. Having played a lot of my old Wii games over Christmas, I wouldn't mind a wiimote experience from the switch but that would be on TV thing. Hard to imagine how you could use that in handheld mode, certainly not pointing at the*snip* |

Switch 217th January 2025 A mouse feature, while not excitingly new, would be useful for fps and strategy. I much prefer using the mouse on no man's sky on the pc, than I do with the joysticks on the switch. I mean I manage but would have been cool to have a mouse option. Har*snip* |

UK A.I. Plans15th January 2025 Depends. I have been impressed by github copilot, yesterday I added a property to my state and went down to a section of my code and immediately a suggestion of four lines of code came up that was exactly what I was about to type. This is not uncommon an*snip* |

ST Discovery - Season Four31st May 2024 I've got to watch it this weekend. I can zone out after the first hour then! I've mostly just been watching these. I don't like the future setting at all, especially the ships. I do like the spore drive but it feels a bit too Superman and there*snip* |

Happy Birthday, BASIC3rd May 2024 Yay. Jse is a wonderful achievement. Something to be rightly proud of. I also discovered visual small basic 3 yesterday. Been playing around with it and pretty impressed. Not good for games but seems well suited for tooling and editors. |

Stuck in a Rut9th April 2024 Creating for a retro platform is a lot of fun, especially if it is one you fondly remember, from my perspective at least. It is possible to give something out for free and also to sell of a cartridge or other media. BTW, another option for TRSE is to comp*snip* |

Mark's LibSGD29th February 2024 It's kind of nice to see a return of Blitz, in some form. I miss the days when we had lots of new game-related languages and tools coming out. It's great all the stuff we have today too of course. |

Emu's Massive Hunt [Vic 20 +35K]17th February 2024 I'm making a platformer for the fully expanded Vic 20. I've had fun with making a game in the unexpanded (4k) Vic and now I want to do something without the restrictions of limited RAM. Well it's still limited to a bit under 40K but that is hug*snip* |
