Daffy Duck would have you trying everything to get your system working again, even if it's detrimental to the device.

Journeyman, Jericho, Daybreak.
3 fantastic shows that I really got into, that all got cancelled after the first season, all really close to each other.
(Though Jerico did get a "nuts campaign" based second season, it then got cancelled again, which sucked..)

Question of the Day : August 4th

How do you manage and store your retro code and projects?
Sun, 04 Aug 2024, 01:59
Jayenkai
Exactly the same folder structure as every other project.
The "JNK Software" folder is vast!

Question of the Day : August 5th

What inspired you to start creating music/art/code?
Mon, 05 Aug 2024, 03:04
Jayenkai
What got me into Code was the flashing yellow cursor when you turned on the Amstrad. Everyone told me to Run-Dash-Dash, but I wanted something more!!!

What inspired me to do music and art was the distinct lack of music and art in the games I started making.
Ascii-Art will only get you so far.

Question of the Day : August 6th

If you could add one modern feature to a retro computer, what would it be?
Tue, 06 Aug 2024, 01:36
Jayenkai
The ability to change games without having to get up out of my comfy chair, take the game out of the machine, put it away in a case, get out the next game, put it into the machine, reset, load.

I'm old, now, I ain't got time for that shit.

Question of the Day : August 10th

If you could only use one programming language for the rest of your life, which retro language would you choose and why?
Sat, 10 Aug 2024, 02:26
Dan
is BlitzBasic (3d) considered retro ...

Blitzbasic is still very good for programming.

1 .The syntax is easy. Prototyping something can be done fast.
2. The variable's aren't case sensitive.
3. Is able to have many image buffers. The creation of these is very easily done.
Displaying and even editing a (full color) picture is possible within few commands ...

I'm not sure it really matters what language is available after this apparent language-apocalypse... I think, no matter what it might be, I'd likely learn it if I didn't already, because I'd be that bored!!!

Unless it's a mouse/gui driven thing, then I'll learn to paint or something.

(Your request for JSE Image Buffers has been noted. I started work on that a while back, but couldn't figure out a memory-safe way to do it!)

Question of the Day : August 11th

If you could replace the soundtrack of any retro game with the music of any band from the 80s, which game and band would you choose?
Sun, 11 Aug 2024, 01:33
Jayenkai
I wouldn't.
Videogame music FTW!
