Here are the latest news regading my #TMSnake #game for #rc2014 and #TMS9918a #graphics.
The video below shows the current state of affairs, and I've just added some limited #sfx to the game - however the recording below did not capture the beepy beeps for some reason.
There is one last tweak I need to add in terms of gameplay but the final release is "coming soon" ™️ 😏
@feoh thank you! still needs that little extra though.
but it's fun working out how those old chips are working.
as for soldering: you don't have to - @etchedpixels has written a very good #rc2014 #emulator which also emulates the #tms9928a - I use it on my @VoidLinux laptop while abroad.
Maybe that is an option for you to get some taste of rc2014?!
you can find it here:
@Wintermute_BBS @etchedpixels @VoidLinux Hey that's positively brilliant, thank you very much I hadn't heard of the emulator!
I got excited for a while when people mentioned a breadboarded version, but it became clear very quickly that actually accomplishing such a construction project would be decidedly non trivial and "off the rails" which means my meager electronics-fu is not up to the task.
An emulator sounds just right. Looking forward!
