#kim1 — Public Fediverse posts

Broadband is down, but my backup is decent enough to allow me to upload this!

I made some progress with #MOStermind, a mastermind port for the #KIM1, using the teletype interface. This was born more or less as a joke with a work colleague.

You can see the current version running under #MAME here (but I have tested it on my KIM-1 clone already.

There's plenty of optimization still to do, but the game is currently fitting in 1342 bytes, including both logic and text.

This is impressive.
What you see in photo is a #sd2iec identical to the one I assembled for my C64 and C128.

And it's listing files.
From the #KIM1.

And probably an 1541 would work just as well.

As I work on my #Kim1 emulation project rabbit holes, I am having a lot of fun with various LED 7 segment displays, or rather the #Arduino library code for the driver chips!

I already have a library for a Gotek 3 digit display that uses a #TM1651. I wrote this 6 months ago while in a rabbit hole as I upgraded my Gotek.

I am adapting it for a 6 digit display that uses a #TM1637, and for an 8 digit display that uses a #TM1638.

And I am also playing with an 8 digit display that uses a #MAX7219.
