@hkz Wrong platform, but we love to use IdeaList for exactly this purpose.

zweidraht.de/idealist/pix/ilsn

for Atari ST and compatibles. Great for efficient, flexible source code printing:

zweidraht.de/idealist/ilindex.

Written in ST Pascal, one of the few “modern“ TOS applications that are crafted in this rather early Pascal implementation for the ST. Christoph certainly kept on going with the tools he had!

I've been working on this #Sega #Dreamcast #book for over 10 years now. It's currently just a hair below 300 pages long now. Most of the hardest part, documenting the PVR, is done.

in 1 month, it'll be the 26th anniversary of 9/9/99. No matter what, even if not complete, I will release all of this on september 9th. Includes full #tutorial text plus the associated lessons and #sourcecode / #assets.

Red sections are less than 50%, blue more than 50%, green 100%:

In the Tetris variant "A100" new blocks are placed by the player on a square playing field; the falling blocks of the original game are omitted. Once all positions in a column or row are filled, that column or row is cleared.

In version 1.03, the short delay when repeatedly pressing the same key has been eliminated. In addition, the source code for the game is now available.

Warum wächst die Zahl von entdeckten #Sicherheitslücken nicht linear mit den Zeilen von entwickeltem #Sourcecode?

Bei einem Vergleich von Codebasis und gemeldeten Sicherheitslücken wurde festgestellt, dass die Zahl der entdeckten Schwachstellen exponentiell zunimmt, während die Basis des Sourcecodes nur linear wächst.

Naheliegend ist einerseits die abnehmende Qualität von Sourcecode. Hinzu tritt mutmaßlich jedoch ebenso, dass Sicherheitslücken immer interessanter sind:

@metin Atkinson Dithering is my favourite! I still use it for transferring art my kid draws on modern tools to Commodore 64!

I put my tools for doing ”to palette” dithering online on github, use freely for your retro needs!
