Got the first alpha of BomberTalk working - a networked Bomberman clone for Classic Mac.

Played a game across a Mac SE (1987), a Performa 6200 (1994), and a Performa 6400 (1995). One C89 codebase, three builds, three machines on the same LAN.

No sprites yet, just coloured blocks. But the networking works - all three find each other and play in sync.

#Macstodon now runs in the latest bleeding-edge build of the Snow emulator! And if you use Snow's built-in HTTPS stripping, then you don't have to configure WebOne or another proxy, just install Macstodon and start using it 😎

Thanks @twvd for the FPU fixes and all the other hard work you put into Snow! This is the kick-in-the-pants I need to get the next version of Macstodon out the door 🙂
