@vidak … You know in most cases they've been scanned or typed in and are on Internet Archive or machine-specific site? Search by magazine, article title will usually find it.
Looking for a #kbin or #lemmy instance to join. Something #socialist, #trans or #autistic leaning. If anyone has any #FediRecs #findAnInstance
been slaving away over here trying to properly process all the magazine BASIC listings
i have many, many issues of this publication, luckily they have semi-regular page numbers for each of their magazine sections
@vidak
How about VGA? Ben Eater made a VGA Output with discrete ICs and a ROM (which could be a RAM instead)

i don't fully understand it, but it's very cool
the main thing i always end up endlessly stressing over with my retro computer designs is video display
does anyone know of any good designs for composite out video for say, a 6502 or 68k CPU based micro?
many thanks in advance.
Python got loop-assignment (a while ago), great!
while p:=nextPC(): stuff
still fails because p might be 0, which is false. End up doing:
while (p:=nextPC()) is not None: stuff
Uugh. Still need to do more design on the toy impl before I start rewriting in something fast.
But, got named subroutines with local variables now. Just 436 LOC.

GOTY, if the year is 1981 and you have a CoCo.

(Zelda's shooting is erratic and almost completely disconnected from your keypresses. But I like the aesthetic.)
wow these OCR tools are atrocious
you're probably better off doing it all by hand, these supposed tools are so obtuse
good news is i now possess an enormous amount of BASIC listings! i will be lovingly curating a zine with these listings 😎
I wonder why so much of hobby osdev is just making Linux (and sometimes Windows) again. Cause like, Linux already exists, it's right there, wouldn't it be cooler to make something new?
