@mdhughes i dunno i kind of enjoy the experience of typing in things and checking it, it feels like meditation to me, a little.
@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

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.

(Zelda's shooting is erratic and almost completely disconnected from your keypresses. But I like the aesthetic.)
