I put Deluxe Paint II on my FreeDOS retro EeePC. Did some pixelart next to the fireplace.
It shows what we got in the garden.

Nice article => https://www.datagubbe.se/dpaint/

BTW: this setup uses so little computing power (relative to the EeePC power) that it still works hours on battery!

User: Make simple python application using pygame. Let it opens in the center of the screen, be 512x512 in size and have a hearth icon/shape inside that changes size in hearthbeat fashion.

It works! Looks like Sci-Fi when it does each step just as any other junior programmer. Runs code, checks errors, adds graphics (almost hearth) and in the end even creates venv for this project.

I'm using OpenAI API for this.

I made a paper backup of the code. Four A4 pages per game (single side).

Works perfectly smooth on EeePC class CPU.

Next game (3) will be something cyberpunk themed. This cover will fit perfectly!

For anyone intrested in boot sector programming this is the best tool out there!

I was searching so long for anything close to this for days. And bum! I don't even remember where I found it.

=> https://www.bootsector.games/

• x86 BIOS Emulator
• Assembly IDE (bad error handling)
• Compiler, Debugger, Stepper
• Live memory map! <- this is HUGE for me
• Web only (Good and bad)

My first boot-sector game is done!

Your goal is to fall into the moving boat at the bottom. Do not touch red platforms or fall into the ocean.

It has four levels.

All 512 bytes used!

Removed super nice animated sprite of the player for more space.... This enables me to implement:

• restart game
• exit platform to go to next level
• dying restart to first level
• 4 levels (last 2 empty in video).

504 bytes

State of the game.

• The dude has 3 frames to save space
• Simple gravity added
• Key-press changes his movement direction
• Dude cant go outside the screen

359 bytes used of 512b limit.

Testing best setting to print from LibreOffice to the dot-matrix printer.

Liberation Mono 7pt looks nice.

Fun fact: rescently I found out that I only use Mastodon app on my phone for social/media/news. I almost forgot about reddit and twitter.

And I get the best content ever thanks to our FOSSTodon place! :)

I got few more screens done for my BBS! :)

It starts to look professional now :P The basic functionality is considered good enough.

Now I want to deep my toes in to the MPL - Mystic Programing Language. Sneak peek (mockups) are in the ansi gallery (in min menu: !).

Put port 23 open and you will have a lot of new "friends" from all over the world ;)

I feel like I opened some honeypot :P But the server is still alive and working normally :P

@tripplehelix I just saw you website - I love it!

And props for CC0, too!

BTW: I was there with bunch of PI's but now I have a big IBM rack that make authentic ASMR noise :P ...and a drawer full of :raspberrypi: :P

I'm also preparing for digital apocalypse and want to have it all off-line.

Started from scrach.
Figured out how to move login/pass prompts.

Works on win2k telnet. Now I can try to make it longer and more epic :p

I'm back to the ANSI stuff. I'm making few screens for a new BBS server.

Here's the WIP of the intro. There will be a big P1X in the center :)

Also my trusty little Wacom Intuos M is suprasingly useful here!
