One fascinating thing about #Starflight on the #Commodore64 is that when you are saving the game, it seems that in fact the whole RAM content is dumped to disk, 236 blocks all together.

Same when loading a saved game - last thing you see before restore is finished is how the screen and the charset are being restored.

It`s a grey, rainy day today and so I decided to get on with my #Starflight career. It's such a nice game, even if the #Commodore64 version lacks a few details.

However, I wouldn't want to play this game without a proper #fastloader such as #JiffyDos or #SpeedDOS etc. - and even then loading times are ... demanding.

But I won't let myself get annoyed by that.

As a Space person, I will digest this all at my leisure later. But I must address the reason why this competition has been brought to my attention, and that is once again you have not given Women pockets!
There are Women on that design team too, so I can only imagine the guys just shouted over them, or its some internalised Misogyny?

Project Hyperion | interstellar generation ship design competition

Project Hyperion explores the feasibility of crewed interstellar travel via generation ships, using current and near-future technologies. A generation ship is a hypothetical spacecraft designed for long-duration interstellar travel, where the journey may take centuries to complete. The objective of the competition is to design the habitat of the generation ship, including its architecture and society.

But old game manuals? So fucking cool. Wish I could do technical writing in the style of the Starflight manual sometimes.

Spheres of Influence. The stars to coreward have an inconvenient habit of exploding.

“Floppies! Which actually flop! 256K RAM!” (Been regaling friends with #Starflight, a 1987 release.)

⚮⚮⚮The fancy picture frame was a bit too small for the #Starflight map, but I'm glad I got it.
⚮⚮⚮Dusted the Computer Suite and set up Computer the Elder now that it's cooler. It's happily running #BOINC mathematical and astronomical projects.
⚮⚮⚮Also set up #Linxdot for old time's sake.

#Starflight has a speed run. Can an #AI better it?
