Sudocrem is a barrier cream because you have to to use it as administrator.

Gamedev Unsung Heroes

I'd like to announce I have a new(ish) Podcast! It's called GameDev Unsung Heroes, and it's basically interviewing all the names in games you don't know about what they do, their career path, a few stories along the way. All free.

Here's the link gamedevunsungheroes.com

I could use re-posting :)

Archimedes Live! - Online Acorn Archimedes emulator

You can play the very first ARM processor based game in your browser.

David Braben created Lander in 1987 for the Acorn Archimedes. It later became Zarch (Virus on other platforms)

It all started here folks!

TONIGHT 8pm GMT at twitch.tv/NAG_Graham - more lovely #Amiga games from the not-so-lovely year of 1995. It's not exactly peak Amiga at this point after all, but there's still plenty of interesting and occasionally even good titles to check out...

Among the features I packed into the 100% of program memory being used, I added tracking of room clearance -- once you kill all the enemies in a room, it will remember the last six rooms you cleared and not respawn enemies in them.

App update: Added 8088 and 65c02 opcodes and lowered minimum iOS requirement to 18.

Wondering if this app is actually useful? What would make it useful-er?

Or is it more of a comfort thing to have The Sacred Knowledge close to hand?

Try it and let me know!

To answer a question I was asked, of course I'll also do the 15% discount directly to save you having to go through Tindie. I don't have the offers live on my 2014.samcoupe.com website so please just private message or email me and I can send a PayPal invoice with the discount. #RC2014 #Computing

BOY DO I HAVE A STORY ABOUT THIS. STRAP IN, FOLKS.

A few years back, my retired father replaced all the light switches in his house with smart switches that he could activate by talking to Alexa. It was a useful accommodation for an elderly man who gets dizzy when he stands up.

That is, until...

I found Oscar64 to be good that way, at least on VIC20. FWIW.

Cool. How does the compiler compare to others targeting 6502/C64 like cc65 or Oscar64?
