This is not a Commodore 64 garbled screen, this is an action maze chase game under development in a C programming language 😎 😀

We’ve been focusing on climate monitoring this month & today is the birthday of Thomas Stevenson, designer of the Stevenson screen in the 1800s
We still use Stevenson screens today to provide shade for thermometers, making sure readings are accurate & consistent

New high-res LGR! Taking a look at the awesome ViewSonic G220fb 21" CRT monitor from 2003

This is one superb flat screen display, the top of the line of ViewSonic's 'Graphics' series when it launched. 2048x1536 max resolution & up to 180Hz refresh rate! https://twitter.com/lazygamereviews/status/1550519196844441601/photo/1

@stirz @Wintermute_BBS Yes, more powerful BASIC and they do have a dedicated rs232 chip and that means higher speeds but they have locked GPIO pins on the user port for a specific application; if not for that, these would be a great retro embedded platform from the '80s :)
@stirz @Wintermute_BBS I believe that black color is coming from the ZX Spectrum because commodore TED machines (plus/4, 16) was intended to compete with ZX Spectrum machine :)

Good Morning, Everyone!
Today it is my pleasure to present to you another notable #commodore #8bit machine - the #commodore16 !!
And once more it's a low-entry system: the third model of the "264" product line (along with the C116 and the Plus/4).
It features a 7501 or 8501 CPU (depends on model), a 6510 compatible chip, 16KB of DRAM (faster than the C64 DRAM), the TED video chip (320x200 pixels with 121 colors). The ROM contains BASIC 3.5 as well as a machine monitor. Sound capabilities are quite limited: 2 "Voices", one of them can only produce square waves, but 3-bit digital sound was possible.
But let's face it, one of the most remarkable features of the C16 is the dark gray case witht the lighter gray keys! I mean, this is what the C64 should've looked like!!
@notawizard I hope that You will get better soon, we miss some new retro content on the channel :)

Have You ever used Basic compilers on C64? In this video I covered two basic compilers, Basic-Boss and Blitz!, and You will see how easy it is to use them.

@GedgeHead By default composite output is b&w. There are some pads on pcb that need to be bridged to output colour :)
