I made Bo. Bo is a Digital pet fly on Commodore 64 and in this video, I put Bo in several different situations and adventures.
The idea behind this video is to show how small tweaks of the same #code result in a different output.

Sweet dreams of rhythm and dancing
Sweet dreams of passion through the night
Sweet dreams are taking over

There are some days for #c64 developers when you just want to POKE 1,0. Today is that day for me...

Good morning Fediverse! Here is your #vintagecomputer picture for today: my Issue Two 48k ZX Spectrum, kindly sent to me by @GedgeHead (we actually did a trade and I sent him some floppy drives in exchange -- that was fun!)
The machine included a large number of tapes, so I dug out my wife's old Panasonic tape player to load some games. Took a few tries, but I got it going. It was fun loading from tape again after 30 years (on my Atari 400, back then). Gedge did a composite mod on it before he sent it to me so I can run it easily on my PAL monitors here in the States.
Later, I sent some photos of the innards to "ZX Wife" (hmm...wonder if she's on Fedi...) who said it was probably originally a 16k Speccy that had been upgraded to 48k.
Hope everyone has a great day. Keep it retro 😎

If you think people complaining about "too many distros" in #Linux is a new thing, here's a 1985 "Computer Chronicles" episode where Stewart Cheift asked, "Why are there so many versions of #UNIX?"

Guess I better jump on this bandwagon while it's still Friday here...

This is Bo -> "
It is my pet fly and he lives inside the #commodore64. In my next video, I will put Bo in different situations and we can see how he behaves. #c65 #basic #retrocomputing #programming
I have used up all my data plan for this month, so my speed is capped at 64 Kbps.
This is a friendly reminder to all web developers: Keep your bundle sizes small, only ship what you need, compress your images, YOU DON'T NEED REACT IN YOUR F-ING BLOG, test your sites on slow connections and slow phones.
You using a Galaxy S22 Ultra with an unlimited 5G plan doesn't mean everyone else does too.
Working on Conway's Game of Life implementation in C language for Commodore 64, still trying to speed it up.

For my next video, I had a plan to show a relatively easy way how to improve the #commodore 64 power supply. This is the current state of power supply. Looking good so far 😂
