#FujiNet is a network adapter for #retrocomputing and #retrogaming systems. It has a gaming lobby to connect users of different platforms, together.
Shown: #Atari8bit, #Apple2 and #TRS80CoCo playing FujitZee!
Registration is now open for INIT HELLO, the new Apple II conference to be held at the System Source Computer Museum in the Baltimore, MD area.
I'll be there - just registered. I hope you're there too!
the ending to Zodiac Castle, where I outwit the parser (mostly) via an absolutely absurd observation about the exact character length of nouns
also, more tiny dragon antics and an endgame involving death by black magic

At All the Adventures, Zodiac Castle continues, with ornery secrets being hidden by an even more ornery parser.
Also, killing tiny dragons.

All the Adventures reaches what might be its last "traditional" adventure of 1982 with the North Star / Apple II game Zodiac Castle.
Includes a single-path labyrinth and an omnipresent dragon that can visit any dark room.
Second Apple II Shufflepuck beta released: https://www.colino.net/wordpress/en/archives/2025/04/19/first-beta-release-of-shufflepuck-for-apple-ii/
It contains three fixes, a few animations improvements, and a Pause feature.
The first beta version of Shufflepuck Cafe for the Apple II is... published!
The Hand is in!!
And I have a full 1024 bytes left in the CODE segment.
Big commit, I had to move lots of init code to the ONCE segment, but this had to be done at some point, and I *think* I have everything I want in ??
This week-end is probably be beta-release week-end!
Not only has the Frob #Atari2600 #Gamedev System for #Apple2 been #reveng, Golden Child from #MAMEDEV has emulated it in MAME!

Splash screen!
Working on my data loader so I can add a splash screen. Shit's gonna be cleaner the second time!
I have searched for a way to have a splash screen instead of LOADING... text, but didn't find one yet. So instead I made a few cute animations !
The #Frob PCB rev-eng is done. Now we make some test boards.
Now this rare PCB is preserved for any1 who wants one.
Available on Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/retroabandon/apple2-re/-/tree/main/frob?ref_type=heads
(The #Frob was an #Atari2600 #GameDev system for #Apple2)
Biff is done. It's basically Eneg but harder. I've started on DC3, the robot bartender, and will finish tomorrow because he's supposed to be configurable and making text UIs in assembly is tedious!
Trouvé sur eBay : un livre sur le CP/M "adaptation du BIOS et compléments" et une carte "Z80 plus" de Applied Engineering qui permet de faire tourner CP/M (via le #Z80 qui est sur la carte) sur un #apple2 (qui est lui équipé d'un processeur 6502) !
Pour tester ça il faut encore que je trouve les disquettes qui vont avec
#retrocomputing
Oooooh, FUUUUCK. I had to test Biff on my Apple IIgs, which is a US Apple IIgs at 60Hz, to *finally* think of the fact that the puck and opponents are faster at 60Hz than at 50.
Either I patched EVERY delta to account for the 20% difference (and it fucked up A LOT of cases where rounding errors made an opponent too easy or too hard), or ....
I went the easy way, and I drop 1 frame out of 6 at 60Hz.

Look at this shameless cheater.
