  1. Well, its a start. Literally. This is the first tutorial room for my 8bit side-project. #CommanderX16 #ScreenshotSaturday

  5. My little 8bit side-project has reached an important milestone. Its an Ultima-V-like RPG-engine, in case I haven't mentioned that yet.
    It is still far from being complete (maybe at 30%). But I have reached a point where I feel the need to start making an actual game with this. Hopefully the game design process will also inform and guide the remaining development of the engine.

  8. Been a while since a made an 8-bit font. Didn't turn out too bad. #CommanderX16

  11. Finally finished porting my WIP #CommanderX16 project to the GS. Despite adding a few minor enhancements the new code is about 13KB shorter than the old one.
    Seems the 65816 can actually deliver higher code density than the 65C02, even though many instructions are one byte longer.
    Being able to do 16 bit operations with a single instruction is certainly a factor. But I suspect that the larger address space had an even bigger impact (less costly banking and paging in/out code).

  14. Writing a complex text formatting algorithm in 65816 assembly is interesting. For some definition of interesting.

  17. Dealing with a non-deterministic bug in 65816 assembly is incredibly hard. But it is also intensely satisfying when you manage to fix such a bug.
