Eniko Fox<p>surprise! i put a fantasy console in kitsune tails! not only can you use the free and open source tiled map editor to create custom levels, but you can create your own games in lua using the same simple framework we used ourselves for all the minigames in the game. this gif is me making a sample game i call "ghostzilla" from scratch</p><p>oh right, and we've prepared an arcade and over half a dozen minigames for you in the game. one's even 3D! check out the full trailer here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EQkhejCoRs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=0EQkhejCoR</span><span class="invisible">s</span></a></p><p>wishlist & more info at <a href="https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/KitsuneTails" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KitsuneTails</span></a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameDev</span></a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/PixelArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PixelArt</span></a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/FantasyConsole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FantasyConsole</span></a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/QueerGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerGames</span></a></p>

Karsten Schmidt<p>Fantasy console update: Just added & polished some more of these examples from last year and you can play with them here:</p><p><a href="https://demo.thi.ng/umbrella/fantasy-console/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">demo.thi.ng/umbrella/fantasy-c</span><span class="invisible">onsole/</span></a></p><p>Instructions:</p><p>- Press `1` - `6` to select/launch/reset any of the examples<br>- Press `Space` to download screenshot<br>- Apart from the raster bars and lissajous curve all other demos can be interacted with via mouse<br>- Open the browser console to see the (already transpiled) source code of all examples</p><p>Example #1: Scribble & color cycling<br>Hold down left mouse button to cycle the colors (the current palette is also always shown in bottom-left corner). Nice, powerful oldskool effect, which is actually easier to do with these indexed, non-RGB pixel buffers[1]</p><p>Example #2: Lissajous bobs<br>The spheres are actually 2x2 tiles of 8x8 pixel sprites with one color slot chosen as transparency. Drawing 100 spheres here, but could be a lot more...</p><p>Example #3: Raster bars<br>This oldskool effect is achieved via HSYNC interrupts only, i.e. no lines are being drawn — for every single pixel row we simply change the color value of the first palette entry. The text is also only being drawn once, at startup...</p><p>Example #4: Particle system<br>Simple particle system (2k particles) with the emitter position linked to the mouse. 6% probability for larger particles.</p><p>Example #5: Random pattern<br>Classic oldskool generative art, here by defining 4 custom bitmap font characters and then drawing a single randomly chosen char per frame</p><p>Example #6: Bitmap font editor<br>Select a character on the RHS to edit in the left box. Left click to set a pixel, right click to clear it. Press `Delete` to clear the char entirely. The system supports proportional width fonts and the little red triangle can be moved horizontally to adjust the width of each char... Clicking on the `Save` button will download a JSON file of the font's binary data (9 bytes per char: width + 8 data bytes)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ThingUmbrella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThingUmbrella</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Workshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Workshop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/VM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VM</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/FantasyConsole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FantasyConsole</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/TIC80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TIC80</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/LowLevel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LowLevel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/CreativeCoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CreativeCoding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Augsburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Augsburg</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/TypeScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TypeScript</span></a></p>
Karsten Schmidt<p>In preparation for teaching a 3-day "Computing within limits" workshop @ University of Applied Sciences in Augsburg, almost exactly a year ago (next week) I created a little fantasy console (heavily inspirered by TIC80) to introduce students to:</p><p>- the idea of virtual machines / computing environments<br>- the freedom to design & control any aspect of that environment (and how this relates to the overall idea of personal computing these days)<br>- designing & building a small (virtual) env from the bottom up (incl. defining opcodes, memory limits, maps/regions, device control registers, interrupts (hsync/vsync), device I/O, comms & multi-tasking possibilities, various retro-computing inspired graphics techniques)<br>- defining a small low-level API/language for creative coding<br>- learning about binary/hex and how that knowledge translates visually</p><p>The short video gives an overview of five small examples & tools (incl. a bitmap font editor) I had prepared for the workshop — the entire system was built within a couple of days with <a href="http://thi.ng/umbrella" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="">thi.ng/umbrella</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> and incl. examples is only 12KB (gzipped). In the workshop we later ended up mostly using the TIC80 instead, since we covered quite a few other wider perma- & retro-computing related topics too... The 3 days were barely enough to provide an overview and have some exploration time...</p><p>If anyone is interested in a similar workshop, please do let me know, I'm keen to repeat it/extend it...</p><p>(Ps. I will post a link to the interactive version later too)</p><p>[1] <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/@toxi/110298576315429647" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.thi.ng/@toxi/11029857</span><span class="invisible">6315429647</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ThingUmbrella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThingUmbrella</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Workshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Workshop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/VM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VM</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/FantasyConsole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FantasyConsole</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/TIC80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TIC80</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/LowLevel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LowLevel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/CreativeCoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CreativeCoding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Augsburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Augsburg</span></a></p><p>cc <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@danielrothaug" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>danielrothaug</span></a></span> :)</p>

Eniko Fox<p>I should probably explain what the <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/Mega68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mega68k</span></a> is. The short version is that it's what I call a bare metal fantasy console. What that means is that instead of running on a scripting language, the Mega68k runs on an actual emulated Motorola 68000 CPU, which was used in stuff like the Mega Drive and Amiga. It's basically a new 16-bit console</p><p>You can code for it using any language that makes ELF binaries that target the 68k CPU, though the intended method is using C using GCC</p><p>The system itself has a 240x135 pixel resolution, 4 megs of ROM, 256k of RAM, and a video processing unit with 2 tile layers and a framebuffer you can write to directly from the CPU. It also has an audio chip that has OPL3/Adlib music and 64k of RAM for sound effects. It only has a 64 color global palette but supports full per-color and layer alpha blending</p><p>Finally here's a video I made much earlier when I got OPL3 music support fully working</p><p><a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameDev</span></a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/FantasyConsole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FantasyConsole</span></a></p>
