I've just released my first Playdate project, a little experimental Space Invaders clone called Retro Invaders. If you have a Playdate, and want some simple shooty fun then download it for free from bitglint.itch.io 😎

Why am I suddenly getting a spate of crypto and NFT followers?
I've got nothing against crypto or NFTs, but I have less than zero interest in either.

Decided to leave X/Twitter completely, until such time as someone else takes over from the fascist manchild owner.
My main social media platforms will be Bluesky & Facebook. And yes, I know FB isn't exactly the nicest place in the world but it's nowhere near as much of a cesspit as X has become.

New #Elite deep dive: Just how big is 8-bit Elite?
How big are the ships, planets, stars and galaxies? How fast can we fly? How far can we jump? And can we fall off the edge?
This one was fun to write!

This is astonishing - it’s #Elite on the VIC 20! Aleksi Eeben has taken the #Commodore64 source and has ported it to the C64’s predecessor.
It’s looking pretty amazing! Huge kudos to Aleksi, this is a really impressive feat. 🫡

Do you often find yourself wondering why the ZX Spectrum's best game ever was never released on history's greatest console?
Well, after literally minutes of work I have righted this wrong! And I hope you enjoy this little bit of Speccy on the SMS.

I've extended my Elite feature comparison table to cover all eight official versions on the 6502.
It makes for a pretty wide table - if you're on a phone, you might want to go landscape!

Last week I released fully documented source code for #Elite on the #Commodore64.
I've now added it to elite.bbcelite.com, where it's syntax-coloured, cross-referenced, indexed and categorised.
It fits in nicely with the seven other Elite sources on there!

One thing I noticed about bluesky is that the less you interact with people, the longer it will take for your account to grow. The algorithm, or should I say lack of it, is very different to twitter, be active, and enjoy the community. It's called "Social media" for a reason.
