It's funny. It's only now that I've made a .gif of the old Boing Ball demo, and I see it before it animates, that I realize exactly how they did it. There's no animation of the ball. Just colour-cycle it, and let the Amiga's hardware move it around. Genius. 🤓

Not sure why it never occurred to me to try my favorite retro demo program on an 80 column PET. Universe wrong now righted. Happy Wednesday! #commodore #PET #retrocomputing

Something is in the pipes and it brought me back to the lovely big blue for a little bit. Stay tuned! #Commodore64
@Wintermute_BBS I wrote a 1-wire communication protocol (in assembly) to make it work. (the sensor)
@Wintermute_BBS Sensor works with 1-wire protocol and it is connected to single gpio pin on user port. 6526 serial (rs232) is used to send data from c64 to pc.

It may look like the #C64 version but this is in C16/Plus4 format. #CharPad Pro C16 can now automatically convert existing C64 projects.
I take back what I said about the C16 palette order, #Commodore knew what they were doing making the first 8 colours the same as the C64.

Stolen from 8 Bit YTP Productions on YT. Also a bit late for those of us in the Antipodes.

When you're so into that VIC20 synthetizer that you crash the animations and go straight into playing BASIC
