I just wrote word number 100,000 of my deep dives into the epic game The Sentinel.

I know quantity <> quality, but milestones are important in projects this long. I started this project in September! Seems like a lifetime ago.

Here's my progress chart. Nearly there…

#retrocomputing #c64 #bbcmicro

@markmoxon Of course now I'd love to know what is this tool you use for the chart (I really hope the answer is "manual with this vim/emacs setup").

@massimolauria Well, it's not emacs or vim, but it is just a text editor. It's Textastic on my iPad with a custom 6502 syntax colouring.

It's very handy when coding and writing on the sofa. 🙂

On desktop I flip between VSCode and BBEdit, though I disable almost every modern feature, especially anything that tries to be helpful. I can't be doing with any of that auto-complete popup nonsense!

The only feature that is absolutely essential to my work is regex search and replace. I like it old school (though not quite emacs or vim!).

Textastic – Text and Code Editor for iPad and iPhone

Textastic is a text and code editor for iPad and iPhone. It supports syntax highlighting, SSH/SFTP, and remote file transfer.

@markmoxon Ah, now I see why 'and' was highlighted.
