OSDK 1.23 is now available at osdk.org/index.php?pa...
There's been quite a few changes, so more testing by other users than me are probably required.
The focus was mostly fixing annoying stuff that have been there for years, and adding support for more complex projects.⤵️
I've read all answers here and on X and all are right as "just personal opinions". The PRO answer is: It doesn't matter! 😁
You can use any distro to install any Window Manager and adjust the look and feel to your preferences. If you are serious to switch to Linux - remember Linux is not the UI... 😉
Thanks for showing off PIVIC folks :D
Great! I'm working on something like this too. Let's discuss at DF-forum?

It's this time of the year again, the game will be at 33% off on both Itch and Steam until the 26th.
There's been quite a few improvements since it launched in December 2024!
Thanks to anyone who gave feedback that helped make the game better 🤗
Version 1.3.0 of Encounter is out on itch.io.
I'll get it on Steam in a couple days, but I'd like to make sure everything is working as expecting because that's a new launcher, new language🇳🇴, new loader, room for new bugs and crashes!⤵️

Creepy Crawlies WIP (Acorn Electron). Look at the poor little guy completely lost in this infested maze. If only there was a way to defend himself against the onslaught of creepy crawlies 🤔 (Also, I am trying self-imposed chunky pixel art 🫣 )
Version 1.22 of the Oric SDK (OSDK) is now available for download.

Can my homebrew computer on breadboard control a real-world device? Yes it can!😎
This is 1980s style computing with some basic transistor interfacing to allow a pin on the homebrew's AY-3-8910 chip to control a fan!🤓

Happy Valentines fellow nerds - here are some more blinkenlights to brighten your already great day😍

Blinkenlights are back - computers seem more 'alive' when they're flickering lights at you, and if you know what to look for it can even give an idea of what the machine is doing!

The threads and discussions around calling it floppy vs diskette got me pondering on a related question - when and where did these terms come from? The rabbit hole is calling! :D
Thanks for this amazing research! 👍
<joke>Use #LOCI instead floppy/diskette</joke> 🤣
#Oricutron 1.2.12 binaries @DefenceForceOrg's analog joystick updates available at raxiss.com: 👇raxiss.com/article/id/25-Oricutron-...
Well, one couple more thing to add to the list of things done in 2025, with my very first code change to Oricutron (hopefully did not break anything), which was also my very first "pull request".
Guess the next step is to update Encounter to use this new version of the emulator!
Merry Christmas with our new release #Columix and #Columixmas-special for #Oric by [#raxiss]!

Yesterday I posted my post mortem article (blog.defence-force.org/index.php?pa...) but I had reports that on some browsers or devices the text was rescaled all wrong.
I did a CSS change that seemed to have at least fixed the issue in Firefox when screen scaling was larger than 100%.
"Encounter" was launched exactly one year ago, so here is my post mortem for the game. It's very long, so you can skip at the very end if all you want to know is to get the core numbers (sales, time spent, ...)

The Winter Sale are on on both Steam and Itch.
I only need 15 more sales to reach 300 units sold, that would be a nice round number for the one year anniversary of the game 😇
