Oh, because nothing screams cutting-edge #technology like #programming a #1980s relic with .NET! 🚀 Let's drag our IDEs back to the stone age and call it "retro development reimagined." Who needs modern gaming engines when you can emit PRGD64 like it’s 1984 all over again? 😂

You are bored and don't know how to spend your time #RetroCoding?

Well, now you are lucky, as I'd love some contributions to my #MSDOS #RetroComputing projects!

Feel free to help me out with code, documentation or finally a "real" website for #DOjS, #DOStodon, #jSH, #DosView, #lib16 and more 😊

Today I started integrating @benhencke|s MicroModSynth into #DOjS.

So far you can dynamically create synthesizers with a given number of voices and nodes and it plays the example from the GitHub repo fine on DOSBox.

Next step: come up with a nice #JavaScript interface to create voices and nodes and play some notes...

Expanded the list of #MSDOS development resources with suggestions from the community...

I added more compiler and a treasure trove of documentation for #MSDOS programming!

The #SMS Power! Competition 2025 has finally started! 😍 Let's check together each entry to this year's Coding category! 🧵

(full list here: https://www.smspower.org/Competitions/Coding-2025 )

I was messing about with designing isometric tilesets for the C64 earlier. I think 4x1 is probably the most efficient tile size. Absolutely fascinating people managed to make iso games on this system.

#c64 #gamedevelopment #retrodevelopment

There's still almost two weeks to enter the SMS Power! Competition. Create music, an hack, or code something that runs on the #SEGA #MasterSystem or the #GameGear (or the #SG1000 and #SC3000 if you're brave!) 😄

Here's a nice video of all the Coding competition entries we had last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhgg4rPAJvA

I did work on #DOjS today, too.

I found libsmacker which can decode Smacker Video files produced by RAD Game Tools.

https://libsmacker.sourceforge.net/

I got it working as a plugin, video and audio decoding works with the test files I could find.
