Colin McMillenAn in-depth write-up about how I made Shufflepuck Cafe run at 60 fps on an 1MHz computer - including two-player network games.
Two other pictures from yesterday's Insert Coin 3 retrogaming event. In these pictures it's easy to guess who just scored a point against their opponent!

Two-players #Shufflepuck news: I've cleaned up and abstracted the serial code from the two-players code, and put an effort into describing things, so I've opened issues to point out that if someone were to implement it, Shufflepuck could get #Uthernet and/or #Fujinet support.
It's just a matter of four callbacks (and the actual driver).
See https://github.com/colinleroy/a2tools/issues/7 for details.
In this blog post is a teaser video of the first ever two-player Shufflepuck game. (It's in french because it's been muuuuch too long since I posted in french on my blog)

I'm happy with the Cafe. Here's how it will feel starting #shufflepuck on the #Apple2.
Another insomnia put to good use this morning with the scoreboard ! (Commit: https://github.com/colinleroy/a2tools/commit/f87b515c44e5910e9610edc99cff41af406ae727)
And with that, I played my first full #Shufflepuck game after lunch.
Next project? I'm still at the "I'll never manage it" phase.
