256 bytes is enough for everyone? Naww. But it might be enough to get a stupid idea out of your system. 🙂 heckmeck.de/demoscene/fi... #amiga #demoscene
CATALOG.EXE by Hackers is the perfect demo to help me test new Coppenheimer visualization ideas. And motivating, cause it's so awesome! www.pouet.net/prod.php?whi... coppenheimer.heckmeck.de (old version, planning a public beta of the rewrite)
Ah, thanks AI! So the electrons aren’t actually moving from one lightbulb socket to the other
Richard Dawkins could have had his “Claudia” epiphany in 1987 already, just with a gal called “Amiga” instead…
Alexander Grupe@losso3000.bsky.social · 6mo agoPoking fun at “Whoah, that LLM trained on natural language talks like a person!” is nice and all, but that meme could me more niche and retro! 😅 #sca #amiga
Cookin’ up Coppenheimer ideas: Displaying all memory words as RGB values adds a new layer of interesting! 🙂 Lookup tables suddenly become more observable, too
The new iridescent window films remind me: I should watch “Annihilation” again…
Thirty years later I’m convinced: Flicker fixers are great! heckmeck.de/blog/flicker... #amiga #retro #rustyscrewdriver

I look at #Amiga "Cecconoid" published in 2024 by Thalamus. It uses a dual playfield mode, with CPU updating particles, the blitter modifies particle code, and hardware sprite multiplex with the copper. youtu.be/7OVBSs_Rl60

Awesome: Coppenheimer being used in Martin Piper’s latest behind-the-scene tech videos! www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1AP... Weird: I was checking where my comment went in a anonymous browser tab (it’s gone), and auto-translated audio is the default now on YouTube?!

Why are there so few snow flakes in the mouse pointer archive? You can draw one yourself with the editor (hint hint), but I have a hunch that there are many disks I still need to dig out… Time to take a closer look at .lha, .adz, and .rar files 🤔

The new project is nearly ready, but it doesn’t scale down nicely on the 1st gen iPhone SE. 😢 That’s a no-go. That device is barely ten years old! (Which is, by chance, the very thing sane people would say to dismiss the issue… 😅)

Handling strings and blobs in the browser is hard – you don’t only need JavaScript, but also *checks notes* Go, SCSS, C#, VBnet, and… Delphi! 🤓
Ooooh! There it is! Twinkle, twinkle, little… retro sizecoding Christmas star! :)

Amiga mouse pointers are weird. Did you know that you can set the hot spot way outside of the actual cursor? heckmeck.de/blog/the-imp...
