Have fun! I’m busy with my #NabuPC Z80 #NthPongWars game level loader and meta language (besides loading, setting victory conditions, and such stuff, it can decide on the next level).

Had fun adding the first power-ups to #NthPongWars, a game for the Z80 #NabuPC. Of course, got many more ideas. The challenge is fitting them in 64K of memory, and making overall game-play coherent.

I spent more time on #NthPongWars today, looking into sound effects on the #NabuPC using the AY-3-8910 sound chip. I also converted some old assembler Pac-man sound code to C to get the hang of it, and found an abandoned sound experiment in the wacka-wacka code.

Just a #introduction, I'm a games programmer from Ottawa Canada, between jobs, currently doing #NthPongWars for the circa 1982 Z80 #NabuPC. Also working on a modern Ruby on Rails less evil social media site (has a forget and forgive feature) and totally outside the box #StoryPointsEC ethics system.

I love my NABU Personal Computer. It was ahead of its time in terms of the design and the goals. Thanks to the alps switches, the keyboard is also a dream to type on. Props to everyone who works to keep them online and functional!
