For #TRS80CoCo #FujiNet users running 1.5.1 Firmware
1. Edit EC.TNFS.IO into a host slot
2. mount /coco/lobby.dsk
3. RUNM"LOBBY"
The next firmware release will integrate it into CONFIG like all other platforms.
Enjoy!

Taking a break from casting rays. Spent some time getting my old "Mega Driving" examples to compile with #SGDK 2.11.
Also tried to improve my previous attempt at dual pseudo3d chessboards. Still not quite fast enough for real hardware. I have to get better at optimizing.

Very old Caligari #trueSpace images from a very old hard drive.
I donated to Internet Archive today and (instead of trying to speed up my render loop) I decided to see if I could find myself in the Wayback Machine.
I found a few old images I made with trueSpace. Which I really miss using. Also, I'm so old that I had my actual name for my Yahoo e-mail account.

Experts hail ‘remarkable’ success of electronic implant in restoring sight
Sight of 84% of people with form of age-related macular degeneration restored after being fitted with device
An electronic eye implant half the thickness of a human hair has helped people with incurable sight loss to see again, opening up a potential “new era” in tackling blindness.
Doctors who implanted the sim card-shaped prosthetic device say it has helped many of the 38 elderly patients in the trial regain their ability to read letters, numbers and words. Continue reading...

Fixed some graphical glitches and squeezed a few more LUTs in. I can still add some optimization to the sprite code and delay rendering to maybe make the clears and wall drawing faster in some situations. If that goes well, I'll add some network code for multiplayer DM or CTF #sgdk #segagenesis
