I'm getting closer to a working thingie

A quick and dirty 555 oscillator. The math didn't land quite where I wanted, but we've got signal!

I've finished cleaning up the jam box. Installed modern speakers, sprayed down the pots and switches with contact cleaner and fader lube. Because it's going to live in the garage, I packed the battery compartment with desiccant packets.

Cracked open this bad chicken. New speakers are on their way and currently researching new belts for the tape deck. But now I'm gonna give the chassis the soap and water treatment.

I've been silly productive tonight. Successfully, albeit poorly, fixed the mangled tail of my skateboard. The fake gold flake i used must have included some poor quality copper. Things turned a little green.

you rang?

Hey, all! I'm getting closer to having an actual thing!

I made a big step today and decided to get out of my own way. I created for the first time in a while. Just made the thing. Didn't care if it was good or if it even worked. Just make the thing. I can't make it better if it doesn't exist to begin with.

I made some progress on the Gansfield goggs last night. The battery and switch housing fit. Just gotta cut some bulk and figure out mounting

I might buy more 3D printer than I need. It will be really nice not to have to glue pieces together, though.

Also, AUDIO!!! I'm gonna make so many sounds

I'm on to the Audio chapter and it seems like a lot to take in. Maybe i'll work on the artwork a little and see if I can't get something together that's all me...

window toggling has been remedied!

"By definition, a key is never pressed and released at the same time." I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

couldn't sleep so i worked on button polling. up, down, left, right all working. the window trigger has some issues but i'm really happy with this!

planning on a short session this evening. progress would be nice but learning is better. we'll see just how far i get.

It's alright to leave a hobby that you no longer enjoy. Someone would be glad to take that pre-assembled starter kit off your hands. That's not to say things shouldn't challenge you, but if you're not enjoying the process, is it for you?

understanding and implementing DMG button polling is not something i can study this morning. it's cartoon time with the kiddos before i tackle this

The best thing about having an alt account is being able to tap that little heart icon twice for things you really appreciate

i can also do this #gbdev

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!

neither the art nor the code i've been posting is mine. i am using a tutorial (the best i've used, and ive slogged through a few). i am hand keying this in assembly and learning so dang much. The early access PDF has been a joy to work through and i can't wait for this book to release!

WOOOOAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!! Broken on purpose... i can fix it.

ok, not learning about frame pacing tonight. I got my makefile figured out, learned how to display a background and manipulate the field of view. I'm gonna take a break. progress is hard work. I should probably learn some relevant hashtags for this adventure...

FRAME PACING!!!

"fucking nerds" is meant as a term of endearment. i get a little excitable sometimes

yes!!! take a look, you fucking nerds! got dang, i did a thing!!! next, scrolling and wrapping!

this is my chosen coding music. it's fucking perfect

I hijacked the 3D printer at work and made this caddy thing for my soldering station. Decluttering is cool.

This is why I'm not getting as much done as I would like. A small price to pay, though.

I once more call upon the power of the great JobCat! Please, do your thing!

remaining positive throughout it all. you're not stuck- you're in the process of moving forward. take breaks as needed. stay motivated.

holy snap, folks. am theoried out and in no way ready to start a chapter entitled "GRAPHICS ASSETS MANAGEMENT" this sounds like a mission for tomorrow me

just some light theory on a friday night

Coming soon! #gameboy #homebrew

Unable to find a suitable tutorial, I have decided to purchase ✨a book✨ (actually I preordered said book but I got an early access pdf). Not only does it explain things clearly bit it walks me through without a copy/paste format. I may actually be ✨learning✨

I have a nonfunctional Gameboy Pocket to fix up. What color shell should it get? No wrong answers. Most liked reply gets chosen.

fun new HUZZAH! Cornelia Hooker merch on my fourthwall. cj-wheelwright-shop.fourthwall.com

it looks like I'll be building an ASCII to tile map source file because the boiler plate code has undefined macros. make it mine, make it work

Define your palettes! ld a, %11100100 ldh [rBGP], a it's just that simple

I found my Bit depth!!! now how do i stack em up in the right order?

like, really bad at this. if i were making any progress ii could at least say that i'm learning. i've tried so much and the only thing that seems to work (a little) is doing things the long way. uuuughhhh... im gonna go make a bagel

better. closer. warmer.
