Well, apart from some minor tweaks, this bad boy is done I reckon.

Mistigram: the spooky new MIST1026 artpack features eerie creations in vintage computing formats, from #ANSIart to #ASCIIart to #teletext to #BBCMicro hirez graphics. These specimens demonstrate the range of its charmingly pixelated horrors. You can check it out today at the 16colo.rs web gallery!

< The #BBCMicro version of this was first seen by us as little (very little) infant scool kids, perhaps we were 6 or 7. It was utterly, utterly terrifying. And brilliant. We LOVED it. Our first introduction to computers CIRCA 1983-4 and who knew that machine would birth a genuine classic: ELITE..? >

I made another Claude assisted thing. It was still a good 6+ weeks of work and probably not possible without it. Squeezing 210K of arcade ROM, with hardware tiles and sprites, down into my beloved BBC Master. 1942! bitshifters.github.io/posts/prods/...

I have just released Lander for the ARM Evaluation System.
So that's the first ever ARM game running on the first ever ARM chip.

Added Econet support to my BBC emulator MacBeeb - along with a "Network Studio" for visualising a network and the ability to join BBCs together, using Econet, over the Internet.
Wrapped it up in this nice distributed Mandelbrot generator.

Been working on porting Eye of the Beholder (the classic 90s D&D dungeon crawler) to run on the #bbcmicro
It needs a Master 128 and even then is a squeeze using all the sideways RAM, some of the screen RAM, and the shadow RAM for code and data. Emulator is my new MacBeeb.

Created a Mac native BBC Micro emulator in Swift. Really a port from a combination of BeebEm, b2 and jsBeeb - they did the hard work. Adds a debugger, MCP and hopefully feels like a modern Mac app, auto-updating. GPLv3 and you can get it here: github.com/JamesRandall...
