I have added flicker-free planets to the #Apple II version of #Elite. Flicker-free on the left, original version on the right. That's every 6502 version done now. No-one left behind! Info and downloads: elite.bbcelite.com/hacks/flicke... #bbcmicro #c64 #apple2 #retrogaming #retrocomputing #8bit

Two-player #BBCMicro #Elite is coming along nicely. It now supports two pilots in two ships with two controllers and a split-view screen Here are some work-in-progress videos - see the thread for an explanation There’s lots to fix, but at least we have a proof-of-concept… (1/6) #retrocomputing

The less good news is that it isn’t accurate enough yet, so player 1’s ship jumps around a bit This is because I’ve used Elite’s own dot product code, which was designed for visibility checks, so only the sign bit is accurate I’m writing a double-precision version that I hope will fix this (4/6)

Today's addition to #Acorn #Electron #Elite is the energy bomb animation from the Apple II, BBC Master and NES. In the original Electron version, the energy bomb did little more than beep gently. Now it rages with lightning bolts! That's much better. #retrogaming #retrocomputing #8bit #bbcmicro

The Compendium version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite now has missions - three of them, in fact. Here's the briefing for the Constrictor mission, backported from the #BBCMicro; I've also ported the Thargoid plans mission, and the Trumbles from the #C64 and #NES. 🫡 #retrocomputing #retrogaming #8bit

Enhanced #Elite on the #Acorn #Electron now has 31 different ship types (compared to just 11 in the original). Here's a little clip showing an encounter with a Krait and a Mamba on the way to the sun. Coming soon... Thargoids! #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcmicro #8bit

I've managed to build the recently released source code for Elite II on the BBC Micro. It does... something! Though I have absolutely no idea what is going on. Still, here it is: Elite II from 1985. I think they're in trouble, whoever they are... #retrocomputing #retrogaming #8bit #elite #bbcmicro

My new project is a version of BBC Master Elite, but with a twist. Sure, it’s pretty niche, but this has never been done before, which is always fun. Can you tell what it is yet? The clue's in the clip... #retrocomputing #retrogaming #bbcmicro #8bit #elite

#Elite on the #Acorn #Electron is slow - way slower than on the #Commodore64, for example. But how does the enhanced 16K SRAM version cope? Turns out enhanced Electron Elite is faster than the #C64! Sure, it can't compare on colour or music. But... result! 🚀 #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcelite

This is my first time using a memory heatmap to analyse #BBCMicro code Here's The Sentinel calculating landscape visibility (b-em emulator) Look: ray-casting radar patterns matching the landscape layout, right there in memory! The algorithm revealed! I love this #retrocomputing meta-level stuff 🤯

Comcast News-MSNOW donated to both proven racist felon Trump's Ballroom, Triumphal Arch, and Duffy's Road Trip. What does Comcast News-NBC, MSNOW get in return? What is the mindset of the person writing the checks? Why do the anchors keep it on 'the down low?' Tax loopholes, media megamergers?

Use our cities as "military training grounds" and this is "a war from within." Trump told top military leaders that they will have to mobilize soldiers on American citizens on American soil... #wakeupamerica

From start to finish, this shutdown — and all of the airport lines — is the fault of the Republicans. Senate Republicans agreed to end the shutdown but House Republicans rejected them. Fix your own damn mess.

Told @AJEnglish that both Iran and the US believe that another round of fighting will give them an edge in subsequent talks. But when both sides believe this, the gravitational pull toward conflict becomes dangerously strong — however irrational it may be.

SGA has 33 assists through 3 WCF games. The substance of those assists are making a tremendous difference for OKC. - 25/33 have created made 3s. - 28/33 were reverses or kick-outs beyond the 3 point line. Shai is creating 30.3 (!!!) ppg off the pass in the WCF. #NBASky #SkyHoops #NBAPlayoffs 1/2

They fired the referees. Trump fired all 22 members of the National Science Board, which oversees the NSF, the body that funds climate research protecting your community. One email. No explanation. Big Oil bought the team. #ClimateScience #BigOil #TrumpScience #Science

Kristi Noem has been fired. Good riddance. But the problems at DHS go much deeper than any one person. The President must rein in ICE and end the violence.

Tense scenes this evening in Southampton. Tommy Ten Names & Nigel Farage both addressed the murder of Henry Nowark, after police bodycam footage was released last night. They called for action - this is the result. Nazi salute/riot/criminal damage/threat to life & even some 'friendly fire'.
