Because I'm really good at not doing what I set out to do, I've now ported Black Hole over to gopher 😆 Works well enough, although probably janky as hell.

I'm Sandy, but some might know me as Yoshin. I'm a pixel artist obsessed with retro stuff, dabbling in Python and 6502/68k Assembly. Also working on a CPS1 SDK so that's hype! Open for commissions too so feel free to DM!

#GameBoy limitations meant recreating Henning’s amazing Amiga Sprites would be a real challenge.
I ended up using two Sprites layered over each other and added 1% cute. (more detail in reply)

So I watched Starfleet Academy, and yeah I don’t think it’s aimed at me. Which is fine.
I’m not a big fan of the 32nd century setting generally, but I’ll probably continue to watch and see how it develops. Cool to see a Jem’Hadar on screen again though.

I'm genuinely trying to get my head around this because, like, you don't actually ever need to know how many people are ordering? If ten people want to share three pizzas, you order three pizzas. If they want one each, you order ten. It's no one's business how many people are in the room.
at last we will be free from the backbreaking drudgery of ordering pizza from a menu and even counting how many people the pizza is for www.theverge.com/tech/863365/...

Back in the early 90s at Software Creations I designed a Portable Assembly Language ( PAL ) with the intention of using it to develop games for 32/64 bit consoles. The ideal being that this pseudo assembly would generate native code for multiple processors. You only needed to write the game once 1/2
