Took a small break from the #Dreamcast to setup a public AOL Instant Messenger server. I wrote a sign up, download, configure wizard and put it up on aimserver.io. The backend is powered by the incredible RAS server (github.com/mk6i/retro-a...) project. I wrote the form in Vue/Node. #retrocomputing

Draw a cube, convert the cube to vertex data, get all fucked up with projection matrices for an hour, read docs, find that KOS will do the hard part, and finally have a 30 second demo to show for your 4.5 hours of effort.

...still better than my last desk job. ☺️

hey look at me go

I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing and have no business doing it. #gamedev #indiedev #dreamcast

For something a little different, here's a shot of the Smokies (Overlooking Cedar Bluff) taken from my drone this afternoon. #knoxville

I started this project without an idea, etc. I'm just learning what I can make the #Dreamcast do. So far, I have a controllable, stationary camera in 3D space that loads an asteroid field, bkgrnd music, fonts, menu, and networking (BBA) that loads a msg from a server (XML).
