I need some mental exercise. Something easy like porting Toledo Atomchess to Intellivision 😁 It has passed some time since I drew "fat" chess pieces.

I don't want to disappoint the 3 Body Problem series fans, but in episode 4 where an old IBM PC shows alien messages, the screen resolution is wrong and outside of the capabilities of the CGA and Hercules video cards available in 1984. #DOS #IBMPC

@root42 It is PC Interno 5. Marcombo. A pretty good book, it helped me a lot with Windows 95 GUI progarmming. I found a picture online https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-883567997-pc-interno-5-programacion-de-sistemas-_JM

@reidrac @root42 Incredibly heavy and the code has very tiny letters.

The current stupid saying of these days: AI will replace programmers. AI doesn't think, it only cites code from real programmers that it scrapped from Github. Don't be fooled, current AI is a search engine that can derive data based on probability, but cannot create new things.

No one visits Facebook stories. Facebook's solution: Insert stories in the user's TL 🤣. Now, I scroll down even faster 😂

Nothing like having a coffee on Sunday morning, and coding a Z80 assembler because it is needed to bundle with CVBasic and having a Mac/Linux version.

I just made a Ray Tracer in 506 bytes of x86 machine code (a boot sector) based on the amazing Atari 8-bit BASIC program by D. Scott Williamson. Source code available in the description https://youtu.be/AZdzECF2Huw

I must be rich, I've no one but TWO NES 🤪 six original cartridges (TMNT was brought by Santa) one @krikzz Everdrive N8, and lost 3 hours discovering the cartridge ports were giving trouble, but both NES work just fine 😁✌🏻

I've made the 240p Test Suite for Sega SG-1000 compatible with the SC-3000 computer, it was a matter of two port output instructions to map the joystick in the port. Latest binary here https://github.com/nanochess/240pTestSuite_colecovision/
