8bitworkshop VS Piskel

I wish 8bitworkshop got more love. It is amazing. From the homepage "Write 8-bit code in your browser. Ever wanted to be an old-school game programmer? Learn how classic game hardware worked. Write code and see it run instantly." It lets you get your feet wet in Verilog without buying the hardware first. This description doesn't do it justice at all so check it out. https://8bitworkshop.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

I have actually recently picked up Atari 2600 homebrew development as a hobby. My reasons are: 1. The hardware is simple enough that you can completely understand everything that is going on. And you absolutely need to understand it, if you want to make good games. Just a great feeling of power and control. 2. You need to use assembly. Even with 8-bit era computers you don't really need to use assembly. Sure, for... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Always happy to see more documentation out there. I have a bigger document posted on my website, which includes setting up X11 with XFCE4, but it includes everything else needed to do Intellivision indie game development.

Each NFT is 1/50 and were created live on stream at twitch.tv/Jomigloy. These were created using a combination of piskelapp.com and Aseprite. Each NFT is 132 frames and I had a blast making them. With this project I'm trying to evoke feelings of nostalgia with the machine base, and the screen allows me to convey a message. In this case, I'm spreading Loopring hype on these screens. The last few weeks collecting L2... Source: about 2 years ago

Ooh, what website? I know piskelapp.com (I love that site) lets you save to keep working on it later or export to create a video file, but if you're using another one I'd love to check it out! Source: about 2 years ago
