Just dug a Mac G4 Cube computer out of the depths of our basement, cleaned it up (was kinda gross), and got it set up. I really like the early-Mac OS X skeuomorphic UI. It’s just really neat and I like to look at it. I don’t know if I’d rather live inside it or eat it.

Posting my favorite computer in my collection: the red Sony HB-101 MSX. It’s utterly underpowered but just look at it! The color! The 80s futurism! The little joystick! The handle!
Good news, turns out skipping tiles that didn’t change dramatically improved the scrolling speed, it might end up being playable!
I’ve got the ability to load in map data and scroll through slowly. Maybe I can optimize it by skipping tiles that don’t need updating. Also due to the size of the levels, I gotta use the extra 2kb of on-cart ram, can’t just rely on the internal 64 bytes worth of registers. Since the map data only takes up 1kb, I’m practically swimming in extra ram now! #retroGaming #channelF #homebrewGame #gameDev

Right now I’m porting one of my older #pico8 games to the Fairchild channel f, the first console with rom carts. Right now no gameplay yet, only just the code for drawing the screen. Since it isn’t real-time it just might be playable despite the low draw speed

Maybe I'll post on here more than I did on twitter. Should probably get in the habit of talking about my games more
