Boris KretzingerToday I enjoyed the sun by going on a nice trip some 130 kilometers away. If you have not been to the Maulbronn monastery and it's within your reach: do it. It is awesome. Also, I brought some stuff from nearby via small ads: An #Atari Mega ST (which I will keep), a 1040 STFM, two SM124 monitors and other stuff (all of which I will clean and sell on).

Salem OKI let Claude analyse the code of my remake of the Atari ST port of Super Sprint in Python to optimize it. Result: increased FPS by 400%. The changes make a lot of sense, and the result is impressive. But I feel no sense of accomplishment from it. https://github.com/salem-ok/PySprint #atari #pygame #ai

François GaleaToday Zeme/ @sandor showcased his #zeST at Atari Invasion, a meeting of #Atari enthousiasts in Maarssen, the Netherlands. He played some demos including Closure, a demo that pushes the ST to its farthest limits, and the Synergy Megademo, in which he participated as Vulture/Odyssey, coder of the Symbiosis demo.
Thanks to him for his support! And if you missed his blog and are interested in Atari ST demoscene tricks and stories, you really should read it: https://blog.subspace.nl/

Here's a short demo.
btw, the "app" is even smaller than the animated GIF here. :D
