M4 FORTH is a #forth compiler for the #Z80 and the ZX Spectrum. It generates Z80 assembler code from #M4 macros.
https://github.com/DW0RKiN/M4_FORTH

The developer claims that M4 FORTH produces a shorter code and 2-4 times faster code than zd88k, "probably the best compiler for the Z80"

You don't have to believe him however, the developer is keeping himself honest with this extensive set of benchmarking tests:

[This is a remarkable piece of software. it would be interesting to see how it can be ported to other #neoretro / #retrofuture #Z80 - based machines ]

Amazing re-creation (work in progress) of Bruce Lee on the #pico8 virtual platform, by pahammond.

Paul has also re-created a number of other classics on the Pico8, such as Moon Patrol, Bubble Bobble, Pengo, Frogger, Phoenix, and more!

Some people keep creating cool stuff, which is amazing, but on the other hand they keep donating their content to Elon Musk.

Here's some of the great #ZxSpectrum and #retrocomputing stuff , just so you don't miss out on it.

If people are keen on it, I may start an account exclusively for the purpose of cross-posting this kind of great stuff, along with relevant non-Twitter links when available.

Let me know if you think that's a good idea.
