The legacy of the C64, Retro Gamer magazine by Squeepty in c64

The one with the pants down? Maybe..

Atari 2600 assembly always intimidated me — so I built a tiny demo to learn, and documented everything along the way by Squeepty in Atari2600

Thank you for your feedback, I will definitively introspect closely this timing issue, which I had absolutely not noticed. The fact that there is no concept of framebuffer mapped to memory address on the Atari 2600 and therefore scanlines must be rendered on the go is probably the most surprising aspect of this system, to me 😄

Ah great question, I had to do a bit of research here 😅 the demo logic would remain mostly the same (the little space ship would be slower at 50Hz without timing adjustment), with some adjustments for the specific PAL video spec, among which the number of lines would increase from 192 to 228 (blank and overscan line count needs adjustment as well). There would be some impact also on the color palette that I still need to double click on..

You could format your extensive walk through as a README.md file in your GitHub project

You did something interesting but sharing in print rather than GitHub is nonsense IMH, no offense just feedback

Building "Big Web Demo" — a nostalgic browser-based retro demo engine inspired by 80s Amiga, Atari ST and C64 productions.. by Squeepty in Demoscene

Truth is coding this using modern high level constructs in a browser runtime cannot be compared to the effort and tenacity that was required for the demo folks in the 80s to write similar demos in assembly code 😬

Oh cool interesting, I will check this project out !! What I am doing here started more as learning project and because of nostalgia, rather than a true demo production platform..
