It is 2026. A kid coded this superbasic program for hours for father's day, on a Wildbits/K2 (6502/816 based wedge computers) The father is the owner of the #Wildbits line. It's think it's fair to call this wholesome!

Finally some MIDI pitch bending added to my Firejam (own C coded app), for all platforms: #macintosh, #wildbits K2.

I'll make it work for SID, PSG and OPL3 and the Mac sound Driver output as well in their respective ways.

someone (thanks, furan) did this pixel animation on a LED matrix wall which looked so cool I had to reverse engineer it on my #wildbits K2 using 2 layers of smooth scrolling tiles. I added a fm synth menu music from System Shock, I felt it fit the vibes.

Mike C wrote a superbasic for a #wildbits computer (fmr. known as foenix retro) that's very easy to learn from, using connectivity with the wifi chip, fetching data from NASA and displaying the ISS coordinates in real time. I've let it run for about 30+ hours
map of the world with a black background and green outline of the continents. Many curves made by blue dots are representing the passages of the ISS over the map. The words "S.P.O.T. Satellite Position and Orbital Tracking" is at the top and the latitude and longitude of the current position of the ISS is on the bottom.
