Come on people.. give me YOUR fave tracker tunes.

Yay! Let's start a new #MODtober fest thread and share your love for tracked music, one track a day! Old and new stuff, and yes, not just .MOD: SID, SND, XM, and so on as long as it's tracked music

Another reminder that the #ChunkyFringe teletext editing system is online for anyone to have a go at creating real teletext pages: blockparty.zxnet.co.uk Channel your inner @mrbiffo.bsky.social* and come and admire your creations in all their chunky glory on CRT tellies in Harrow this Saturday!

Well my other posts don't seem to have worked, so I've decided to try superliminal advertising to get people to create some #TeletextArt for Chunky Fringe. blockparty.zxnet.co.uk

New #demoscene platform just dropped?!

I'm looking for your art work to feature on a section of my stream backed by @h0ffman.bsky.social and Ram Bank 2 Tony Hart style Gallery. Using ZX Spectrum art, Amiga art done with Deluxe Paint and more, all based on the love for Retro Computers with your name, Artwork and of course, AGE! Fancy it?

Happy birthday to the MOS 6502! It was 50 years ago today that people were able to buy their first samples of the chip from a jar in a hotel room at WESCON. Here's my oldest 6502 from the 52nd week of 1975. Still works perfectly!

Made a nice page for all my demoscene favorites. mrdoob.com/demoscene/

My ACCU talk is now up! I put a lot of work into this one: writing 2 versions (well...maybe more) of a ZX Spectrum emulator in C++. I had a blast: I hope you will too, following my journey of self-discovery: can this old dog and learn some new (C++) tricks? Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlt_...

Finally got my own "final version" ABI mug! Really happy with how they came out! Fancy one yourself? Get yours at shop.compiler-explorer.com ! All proceeds go to keeping the site running.

Chat to Mark about all his Elite projects at the next ROUGOL meeting on Monday 18th August rougol.jellybaby.net/meetings/ind...

this is a typically fascinating piece from mic, about how a tall member of staff at M&S asking a customer if they need help turned into “a man pretending to be a woman attempted to assault a child!!!” based on… pretty much nothing?

= 32 bits after 32 years = We're incredibly proud to announce that Second Reality has now been finally ported to a modern operating system, and you can watch it tear up your system: no video, no emulation, just code - as it should be. conspiracy.hu/files/w32nd_... github.com/ConspiracyHu...

I spent painstaking months on this, and without a doubt this is one of the proudest I've been of everything I've ever worked on. SR is a demo without which a lot of us wouldn't be doing what we're doing, so to make it run natively on my machine was very emotional. (❤️ to @oldskool.org for his help)

It's done! I have just released the Compendium version of #Elite for the #Acorn #Electron. This massively enhanced version of the original game contains pretty much every feature of #BBCMicro Elite, but on the Electron. Just add 16K of sideways RAM. Links in thread. #retrocomputing #retrogaming

The Compendium version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite now has missions - three of them, in fact. Here's the briefing for the Constrictor mission, backported from the #BBCMicro; I've also ported the Thargoid plans mission, and the Trumbles from the #C64 and #NES. 🫡 #retrocomputing #retrogaming #8bit

It's #Thargoids Thursday in the enhanced version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite. Here's me misjumping into witchspace and being ambushed by Thargoid motherships and their Thargon drones. Electron commanders can now join in the bug-hunt - at last! #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcmicro #8bit

Last weekend was the Nova 2025 demoparty in the UK. I worked on a couple of the productions released there. I made a 4Kb Executable Graphics picture "void main". www.pouet.net/prod.php?whi... Since then I've also put a variation of the code up on #shadertoy www.shadertoy.com/view/3fySDR

The other production I had a hand in at Nova 2025 was the Allstar Megademo for the Acorn Archimedes. www.pouet.net/prod.php?whi... www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_cY... For which I made all the graphics and lookup table effects for the "Space Trip" section in #shadertoy.

It's been a while since I've written about the innards of @compiler-explorer.com. xania.org/202506/how-c... has the details, some statistics and some fun war stories.

I have just published a new GitHub repository entitled 'ExileArchives'. This contains 9 pre-release versions of the BBC Mico game Exile. I recently re-archived these from the original disks that were sent to Superior Software BITD. Read more about their history here:- github.com/KevEdwards/E...

Survival Tips For Women in Tech.

Since apparently being a nice person is illegal in the US now, it’s time to pull out my most popular blog post ever. It’s called “survival tips for women in tech”, but I’m told it works for all genders and in countless industries. patricia.no/2018/09/06/s...

Live on twitch right now.. but I ain't coding today... oohhh... twitch.tv/djh0ffman

Curious what our t-shirts will look like this year, are you? We are graced this year by @suule.bsky.social 's incredible design (and print-engineering knowhow), bringing you song thrushes from their local fauna!

It is with much sadness that we had to say goodbye to Dexter a few days ago, after he developed a complication of old age that compromised his quality of life. He was a skinny old man but the finest boi. He’s been with us through life’s ups & downs for the last 18+ years and will be very missed. ❤️

Haven't done a #bandcamp discount or #BandcampFrday in a bit. Here's a discount off #PrettyEightMachine, my #NineInchNails tribute, on #vinyl. If you're into #NIN and #chiptune, you'll dig it. I want them to find good homes; proceeds go to my moving fund. Use code V8M2025 at prettyeightmachine.com

Believe it or not, but #lovebyte is almost around the corner. Only one week left, until your favourite #sizecoding demoparty will start. #tic80 #bytejam #pico8

This Monday we will be jamming at the early hour of 19:00 GMT on www.twitch.tv/FieldFxDemo. From 18:00-19:00 there will be a @lovebyteparty.bsky.social test stream on www.twitch.tv/lovebytedemo... so we're going to sync our stream with them. #livecoding #sizecoding #tic80 #glsl #demoscene

Last week I released fully documented source code for #Elite on the #Apple II. I've now added it to my Elite site, where it's syntax-coloured, cross-referenced, indexed and categorised. So that's every 6502 Elite - done! elite.bbcelite.com/apple/ #retrocomputing #retrogaming #8bit #c64 #bbcmicro

"RetroSpectrum - Reloaded" Final version A tribute to that wonderful little 8 bit micro from the 1980s

Some very important disks arrived today. Early, pre-release builds of the game 'Exile' for the BBC Micro. There were updates sent to Superior Software during the development to show progress. They were recovered from a skip many years ago! I shall atttempt to archive them once they have been cleaned
