How, are NONE of the 20+ year old keyboards I have are PS\2 compatible? Am I REALLY going to have to buy a specific keyboard just to use the agonlight2? I know it's prob period accurate for it to be a pia to use but COME ON. I just wanna mess around with an 8bit computer. -_-

The code for this example is in my Agon Light 2 development repo where I keep some stand along examples to refer to and for newbies to try and look at concepts in isolation.

In attempt to finish my Pac-Man clone I've been researching sprite collision and bounding in #Z80 #assembly on the #AgonLight2 and I've finally managed to get it working.
I can now move this code into the main game and maybe start looking at getting some actual game play working 😀

I got a late Xmas present of an AgonLight2. Tried to set it up only to find that my keyboard doesn't work. It's definitely PS/2 but I think my PS/2 to USB adapter must not be PS/2 friendly. I threw out all my old passive adapters years ago so I have to wait a few days for a new one.

One of the Agon Discord members has written some code using my assets to assist with the Pac-Mac re-write to the Agon Light 2... and it's bloody brilliant!
I need to take the PoC code and re-write it for my project. This will really speed things up.

I'm excited about this particular release because I raised a PR that was accepted. Admittedly, it was a *really* small change but it still feels good to contribute to something people use 😀
