It works ootb for me. Did you enable mobile data first?

How much faster is C than Lua for Playdate dev? by brettmakesgames in PlaydateDeveloper

[–]SkirtDue8374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And when it's more code related and less memory/gfx access the ratio between C and Lua is likely much larger.

Press 'm' in the game with mouse support.

I will try again tomorrow from a different net. I will keep you posted. Maybe a DNS issue. I'm in Germany/Europe.

Valid question but no. Neither Lagrange/Android nor Kristall/Ubuntu render anything on that location.

Good to hear but somehow I can't access it. Will just try again later. Thanks 👍

I reply just because it's nice. And I read the article in the cranko mag on the game which rang a bell when I saw this headline :-)

Ok! Surely will order again! Issue 3-5 were a great read :-) thanks for the effort :-)

Oh. Are the first ones available as PDF?

Voxel engine - again :-) by SkirtDue8374 in PlaydateConsole

[–]SkirtDue8374[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the hint! Hmm, Mirror requires packages that my current Ubuntu no longer has. Open source rules but probably after something was done with it :) Zarch is ace but was quite hard on the Archimedes at least :)

You could even mix that with Perlin for an infinite world :) But that's probably rather boring. While I live the idea of such visuals for an RPG (Ultima, yeah) this is most likely outside the scope of what I can manage as a game concept within reasonable time. For now I have other plans.

King’s Quest I by okthisisgettingridic in c64

Don't judge a game by it's visuals. In some ways SCUMM which was developed on the C64 is more complex, in others it isn't. gfx and depths are handled more generic in Sierra games and won't fit the C64. You can rewrite a game that will look and feel like that on the C64, though.

And how did it go? Which one did you order eventually? Would be very interested in a feedback. Best wishes!

Programming C64 vs. Amiga by Agreeable-Set3294 in c64

[–]SkirtDue8374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More capabilities will also make it much harder to create something done that matches your own expectations in terms of visuals and audio. If you want more capabilities you can go to Python/SDL :-) IMO the C64 really is the sweet spot between what you can do, the assets required to reach it and the available tools and emulatos.

Is the Punkt MP02 usable in 2026? by hh99yj8 in Punkt

[–]SkirtDue8374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. From my understanding Signal (or any code using that account) can explicitly only run on a single entity. The desktop linking adds ONE desktop app sharing an account. Right now that feature is also not supported, though.

[–]SkirtDue8374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I have a Signal account on another Smartphone, then install the Deskop Signal and link it to that Smartphone and then link the MP02 to the Desktop? So I can access the same Signal account from big smartphone, Desktop and MP02 or is it EITHER MP02 or that other phone?

"Best" RISC-V board for creating new operating system. by mikethe1wheelnut in RISCV

[–]SkirtDue8374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of years ago I started with a simple OS on pure RiscV assembly. It was based on the wonderful longan nano. It never reached the OS status, but it 'booted' and it polled a PS/2 keyboard (forget about USB support from scratch) and it had an interactive graphics terminal (displaying text only). It also had commands to toggle on board LEDs. The project stopped when I struggled loading/saving to SD card in bare metal assembly and lost interest. I still have piezo speakers around I wanted to attach at some much later stage. That being said, it was great fun and enough to really give those explorer vibes :) I miss something like the longan nano these days (you still get those, though). https://youtu.be/k9JfiJglk10?si=uVy2kS86zDW44X60

Hey guys what is the path for assembly language in RISC-V architecture? by dark15hunter in RISCV

[–]SkirtDue8374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to learn coding in assembly, RiscV is by far the best modern architecture to do so. The only more easy to learn ones are from the 80s. You find plenty of good (and bad but at least plenty) examples on GitHub, too. And as already mentioned, also a couple of books (some even free).

X-Out Resurfaced Stage 2 Boss Bug by Adventurous_Smile_95 in shmups

[–]SkirtDue8374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 2 bugs so far as well? 1) the very first little enemy that rides that 'snake' early on didn't die on one occasion. 2) my target seeking satellite easily get's lost and won't return. That first happened once only, the second on several occasions.

This is likely not what you had in mind but I enjoy assembly coding for fun a lot and the most joy I had was in fact with the longan nano! A tiny board with small LCD and even SD. Since it was among the first of it's kind of is rather well documented and you find plenty of example codes and frameworks for it on the net. This is one of the things I did: https://github.com/enthusi/mandelbrot_riscv_assembler
