I finally did it and moved to a more appropriate "home realm" for a #FreeBSD enthusiast. Thanks @stefano for offering this!
Moving followers worked flawlessly, restoring all my settings was pretty quick, but of course all my old toots are left on https://techhub.social/@zirias 🙈
So I guess I'll introduce myself here by writing a little thread, adding a few of my works that someone might find interesting. But first a bit of "who am I":
I'm a "professional" software architect/developer (mostly #dotnet platform in the day job), FreeBSD hobby-admin and ports committer, #C64 fan (and occassionally coder and even musician), and apart from computers also interested in music (playing a few instruments myself), traveling, cooking, sometimes sports, sometimes politics ... but probably won't toot about any non-technical stuff (or, very very rarely).
Unfortunately this project is stalled, I hope to find the time to continue it. Here's a #C64 conversion of an old #Amiga type-in game found in some german magazine (AmigaBASIC). It's pure #mos6502#assembly and actually adds lots of features to the original (like a score, like music, like fast scrolling and fast movements ... btw the sound/music code is also hand-written, no tracker used).
And of course we also need a new 6502... well, 65C02 for that matter. It doesn't have the illegal opcodes, but it'll have to do! #retrocomputing#mos6502
@RogerBidon serious question, assuming you have to write mostly "targeted" code anyways (because a #mos6502 just won't reasonably run 98% of today's existing C code), what's the edge of a #GCC targeting this platform over e.g. #cc65?
If there's a real advantage, I might be tempted to bring this to #FreeBSD...
I've never seen this #asm optimisation trick shown before: if you're identifying a word/token by the first letter, check for the numbers first. Whether the ASCII code falls above or below the numbers already limits the potential characters to check! #z80#mos6502#programming
Next summer term there will be another #MOS6502#assembly#programming workshop for #GameDesign students at the SRH in Heidelberg. The hardware for it arrived today:
Nechápu, proč velká část schopných programátorů stále používá Windows.
Zde krásný příklad, jak je ve Windows vše kolem vývoje programů složitější, instalace assembleru CC65 a emulátoru FCEUX, několik nutných kroků včetně navštívení obou homepage.
V Linuxu (Debian, Ubuntu a deriváty) stačí jen v terminálu: apt install cc65 fceux
a hotovo 😎 Protože tučňák má rád programátory. #NES#MOS6502#retrocomputing#assembler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtY5FV5TrIU
I’ve realised that I don’t have a good #offline#Z80 / #mos6502 reference. Does anybody have any recommendations for ebooks — must be epub, NOT PDF, or a simple ‘personal wiki’ tool for writing offline-first documentation?
Another very cool #mos6502#SBC! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf-mvyL70bc Interesting use of #PiPico to do the hardware interfacing; regardless of your stance on strapping a 10x MHz 32-bit microcontroller to a 6502, this is a well designed system
