so this animation went mildly viral on twitter (yes, yes, I know. The pixel artists all still hang out there though). So of course I noticed a bug in the animation (most noticeable with the cow's tail). Here's the fixed version.
(the bug was when setting up the first two pages of the animation I drew to page1 when I meant to draw to page2)
Easter is approaching, so time to make some home-made pasta (my wife's family's tradition)
and as per tradition since we moved to the bitter north, this often happens mid-snowstorm
Another hi-res Apple II animation. This one is based on an animation by gentfish over on twitter
Meant to have music too, but couldn't find any chiptines that fit the scene
last class before spring break so afterward I fired up the Atari 2600 for anyone who had time to stick around
it's fun on the big screen, though the retrotink+projector struggled to sync on some of them
there's something oddly satisfying about graphcis glitches on 1980s hardware
in the end it was a combination of an out-of-date lookup table and an off-by-one error
for those curious, the dialog box is the wrong size because I forgot to init a variable to 0 and I am spoiled by modern compilers which warn you of that.
the weird glitches in the text are because I use chars above 128 to substitute common words (to save space) and I haven't gotten around to implementing that properly in the print routine yet
