@feoh @lopta Richard Russell's BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0 — https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcsdl/index.html - is one of the nicest free interpreters. Runs on lots of platforms.
Richard was on the BBC's language committee, wrote the Z80 version (which was roughly contemporary with Acorn's BBC Micro version) and has been supporting it ever since
I have an overly large list of BASIC things, if people care
Finally looking good! Dealing with floats in cc65 is a pain in the butt 😩

Kleinian Seahorse (zoom) by Thomas Hooper (@tdhooper@twitter.com, 6:37 PM · May 19, 2022). Code: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/Ns2fzy. #math #mathart #fractal
@freemo Low resolutions it should be, but something else is not right...
First attempt to create a Mandelbrot set in C language on commodore 64 using a cc65 compiler.
Maybe something is not right 🤔 😜

A friend of mine here in New Zealand publishes a #retrogaming magazine called NZRetro and he's got issue 3 up for pre-order.
These are the special supporter pre-order versions, with a "regular" version to follow later.
He ships internationally.
Relaxing Saturday afternoon 😎

Look what was in the mail today!
And it's working perfectly with my #harlequin128k build - so now I have a joystock interface and decent VGA video. Much better than the composite signal!
And since it's friday, I throw in a nice photograph (taken a few minuts ago) of the "Z80" corner on my desk ... #z80 #retrocomputing #dudebuildingaspeccy #zxspectrum
Hi, I made a video on how to modify SD2IEC devices (bare bone PCB type), so they can be used on commodore plus/4, c128 and c64.

A decade+ of Blupi games have been made free, and all downloads are available at https://blupi.org. Colobot/Ceebot is not only free, but is also open source now.
@GedgeHead @janbeta @duhproject Yes, that is true! Also, I found out that hot glue works much better (for me) as a replacement for sealant for water protection, it is more durable in the sun and easier to remove later.

This is super cool. A guy called Troy Schrapel made a 6502 + TMS9918 computer called an HBC-56.
This video is the montage 12 months of development.
@notawizard Looks like a very powerful 8-bit computer. Breakout plays fluid and looks amazing.
@GedgeHead @janbeta Hot glue and duct tape solve every problem you have 🤔

I only recently got a hot glue gun and cannot understand how I lived without it.
