Two years ago I released Elite 3D - the #BBCMicro classic, in anaglyph 3D (for red-and-cyan glasses) But I failed to give the project a repository, so here it is, only 22 months late: github.com/markmoxon/el... So you now can see every change I made to Elite to drag it into the third dimension 🚀

Two-player #BBCMicro Elite has just become the first game ever to support all the buttons on twin Delta 14B joysticks So two players can dogfight in Elite without either of them needing the keyboard For some of us, this is a dream come true! And it justifies all this hardware I keep buying... 😀

Ever wanted to play Commodore 64 SID tunes on a BBC Micro without needing additional hardware? Having seen similar attempts on the VIC-20, Atari 800 and ZX Spectrum I thought I'd give it a go. Early days, unstable, and sound fidelity needs to be improved, but it works! (sort of...). SoftSID v0.01 🔊

Following on from our initial look at the ARM Evaluation System, we have gone further and wanted to share with you it running some test programs and graphic demos. See how much faster it can run! #ARM1 #bbcmicro #computinghistory #ARMEvaluationSystem

Did you know we have in our collection an Acorn ARM Evaluation System for the BBC Micro!? 💻 We featured it on our weekly #throwbackthursday over on the 'gram and FB. Check it out here - tinyurl.com/4j3vad5s

Raiden was one of the biggest arcade shooters of the 1990s. But did you know planned Amiga and Atari Falcon conversions never made it to release? Today we take a look at both surviving versions and what happened to them.

Two-player #BBCMicro Elite will be a deep-space dogfight game The rest of Elite wouldn’t be that exciting with two players, so I’m sticking to the core combat experience When you fire it up, you can choose what kind of contest you want Here's the all-new config screen 🚀 Game on! #retrocomputing

New blog article: Debugging a Tiny LLM to Understand What Happens Between a Prompt and a Response. A practical, beginner-friendly look at how LLMs work internally, using debugging-style examples. No maths, I promise. ;) paolozaino.wordpress.com/2026/06/13/a... #AI #LLM #GenerativeAI #AIExplained

AI: Debugging a Tiny LLM to Understand What Happens Between a Prompt and a Response

In this article we’ll explore how LLM (Large Language Model) actually work internally, with practical examples so everyone can understand how they work and behave.

A tribute to the artist David Hockney, a #teletext recreation of his 1967 work "A Bigger Splash". I find it so odd that it's a teletext artwork with palm trees, that is *not* advertising a holiday.

A Level 2.5 teletext recreation of "A Bigger Splash" by David Hockney. A swimming pool with a diving board on the right. Water is splashing from the pool as if someone has just dived in. In the background is a single storey house with a flat roof and large sliding glass doors, in front of which is a director's chair. To the right of the house are two tall palm trees.A Level 1 teletext recreation of "A Bigger Splash" by David Hockney. A swimming pool with a diving board on the right.
