I'm Paul, an indie software developer and retro machine lover; especially the C64! I also do 3d printing when I can, but my printer is in storage right now.

c64 prototyping...some scrolling with split screen HUD at the bottom. It only works in PAL right now, NTSC flickers (not enough raster time??), but is a milestone for me still! :)

Spectrum Next #Delphian progress: working on the 3D engine. unclipped triangles are now working. It's using DMA to fill lines, and just CPU on short lines. Some more optimisations to be done, but at least it's working. Next comes all the clipped polygons!🙂 No problemo!😉

Super Sunny World (my upcoming NES platformer) will have a number of hidden items required to reach 100% completion.
To make this more manageable, I've included a stats page with a breakdown per level of what you are missing!

If you always thought that the #c128 is just a #c64 with a bunch of useless bits bolted on, maybe it's time to reconsider. I just released a version of Stunt Car Racer adapted to take advantage of these additional features, and the performance boost is quite significant. See for yourself!

Does 3D printing making the impossible... Possible??
I'm so excited to have this interactive cast silver necklace with me next weekend at @hackadayofficial.bsky.social Supercon 2025. I'll be wearing it around, talking about how I did it, and giving live demos of the functionality!
