An #oldcomputerchallenge would be to go through the process of writing a program/game for an 8-bit micro without any other tools.
It would probably look like--
- a reference manual
- the micro setup itself
- paper and pens
I think that would be a lot of fun!

Have you ever wondered how big the full landscape is in The Sentinel?
It's 1856 pixels high and 2048 pixels wide.
Here's the first level. The initial 192x160 screen is in red. Panning jumps the view to different grid points.
It's a big old world!
So the game screen shows shows 1/9.7 of the full height and 1/12.8 of the full width of the landscape.
The weird figures are because the screen is a different shape to the full view.
Also visible is the point carée equirectangular projection used in the game. This is taken straight from Revs.
For those who don't know, The Sentinel is a classic game from 1986, written by Geoff Crammond and published by Firebird.
It was originally released on the BBC Micro, and was converted to lots of other home computers, including the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum.
See https://thesentinel.bbcelite.com/ for more.
I am delighted to announce the release of my latest project:
Fully documented source code for The Sentinel, Geoff Crammond’s 1986 masterpiece.
Here’s the repository; deep dives coming soon.
See thread for details.

Ok, I’m going in. Another present I just haven’t had time to explore yet. Now things have calmed down I’ll be putting this in the office and getting stuck in to projects very soon. #C64U #C64 #commodore #xp

There it is: The new C64 Ultimate. I'm pretty impressed by the build quality, everything feels solid and like a premium thingy, even has a nice weight to it. Much attention was put into details. What I don't like is that you can't swap disks via a shortcut or button press, but have to go into the menu every time. When watching demos, that really is a bit annoying. Especially since the 1541U carts with a real C64 can do it better. So ... that's a pity. But other than that: loads from tape just fine, runs everything C64 related I threw at it, has stereo SID support and if I wanted, I could add two real SIDs just for fun. Might do that at some point.

L'uscita della versione C64 di Lupo Alberto the Vidoegame fu ritardata dai tempi di attesa necessari alla duplicazione delle cassette.
In quel periodo infatti tutte le società che si occupavano di duplicazione industriale dei nastri lavoravano ai massimi regimi per le case discografiche, in uscita con le loro compilation natalizie.
Tra quelle che andavano per la maggiore vi erano le sigle cantate da Cristina D'Avena.
