tweaking my mono LCD theme to look nice and gay in color hell yeah now we're writing code #retrocomputing #MSDOS

been meaning to write CGA code, why not do it on a CGA machine going to attempt to use the IDE, finding the T1000 LCD does tend to be unusable with most default color schemes, even the "mono LCD" options and you gotta tweak every one peak MS-DOS we're in the era of a config program PATCHING THE IDE BINARY!!! thar that looks good #retrocomputing #MSDOS

@LilPecan@mastodon.social @haubles@hachyderm.io shitposting is life 🙏

we're demoscene up in here so lets hit that hardware directly cribbing from my djgpp VGA code, lets get us a plotpixel can we port munching squares welp 4 colors just isn't enough for the xor pattern to be interesting we gotta get clevererer

now we're just doing CGA artifact colors really 🤔 #retrocomputing #MSDOS #demoscene

true plotpixel is way slow we can't be read-modify-writing all the time we gotta unroll okay what if we just blast four or two pixels pairs like some kind of dither pattern oh yeah now we're getting somewhere nelfs are bewildered by my code #retrocomputing #MSDOS #demoscene

@orci why isn't there a full custom ROM for these? i don't even want the kindle firmware i just want to view fucking PDFs for gods sake

@whitequark @thephd this is the way

@SpindleyQ@gamemaking.social can do 🫡

@theirongiant @torbar @kraptv holy crap its march? i have an excuse to fix my quadra :blobcheer: anyway i was an ADHD idiot and let my domain expire LITERALLY YESTERDAY so im currently in a battle to transfer it away from squarespace and get it up again 🙏

@thephd@pony.social all my makefiles output an assembly listing and i like to look for instructions that look awkward or stuff that isn't being held in registers and find ways to help the compiler do better maximizing those generous register files is critical for fast 68000 code and modern RISC code as well inline all the things

@moshboy@mastodon.social is that packet radio?
