Here are the latest news regading my #TMSnake #game for #rc2014 and #TMS9918a #graphics.

The video below shows the current state of affairs, and I've just added some limited #sfx to the game - however the recording below did not caputre the beepy beeps for some reason.

There is one last tweak I need to add in terms of gameplay but the final release is "coming soon" ™️ 😏

MakerTubeJan BetaHi I'm Jan. I tinker with electronics and enjoy vintage tech, mostly computers and consoles from the 80s and 90s. I also love to tinker with elderly hifi equipment and musical instruments from time...

I'm working on a talk on DRAM compression. Some of the earliest consumer products in this area were SoftRAM for Windows 95 (a fake which didn't compress at all!) and Connectix RAM Doubler for classic MacOS (which did actually work).

Did anyone ever try to reverse engineer RAM Doubler (and write about it) – or is there perhaps source code for RAM Doubler available somewhere?

À propos of nothing, here's the inlay design of a _word processor_ app for the ZX Spectrum.

I never had a ZX Spectrum and don't have a need for an 8-bit word processor at the moment, but this design — as they say — goes hard.

Notice the word "PUNISHMENT" that's included in the design — for seemingly no reason at all.

I yearn for the alternate reality in which COMPACT OFFICE is what we use instead of boring MS Word and Google Docs.
