Another cool Sonic update. Mostly. Spends a lot of time discussing the physics of other games, too.
If you don't like hearing negativity about the upcoming X16 GS, you might want to skip the last part. I respect his opinion but don't agree with it.

I figure I'll ask everybody, what's the best game or piece of software to get folks "into" the Commander X16 space? I'll tag @commanderx16.bsky.social in case they have any thoughts on this one too. 😃

Prog8 is a nice cross-compiled language for the X16 a lot of devs seem to like. It's pretty low-level but easier than assembly.
There's more but it depends what a person is into.

Related to that, there's a strong effort to make on-system BASIC development more productive than the typical Commodore experience. The built-in file editor combined with BASLOAD adds a lot of features and convenience.
The Blitz BASIC compiler is also impressive but (I think) is not totally 'done'.

The most polished games are probably Planet X16 and Attack of the PETSCII Robots. Vault of the Vindicator is a roguelike game that's 3D (impressive on an 8-bit).
Melodius is good for showing off the music capabilities of the platform, and Dream Tracker can be used on-system to make music.

If it's making extensive use of the Kernal ROMs, yeah it's probably better to use that version.
