Hello, everyone! I am a young Romanian fella' that has sadly missed the old

days of computing. (The oldest computer to me is an i7-3770!)



The reason why I am interested in this project, is because of the limitations.

The screen resolution, color amount, sound etc. The Commander X16 seems to me

one of the best combinations and I am now learning how to make programs for

it!



Another reason is that I LOVE low-level programming, I find the whole subject

fascinating, and after quite some time on x86, I decided I needed something

new. A CPU designed to have assembly written by humans, making the whole

process even more entertaining.



I am really glad to finally be part of such an awesome community of

retro-like tech enthusiasts!

Welcome. I hope that your X16 experience is enjoyable.

I agree that the whole x86 assembly stuff is inhuman. ?  Just 69 instructions, 64 K address space, 8 bit data and 3 registers - what more does one really need?

Hello and welcome, @Slendi! ?

I'm relatively new here, myself, and excited for the possibilities of X16 and it's future generations!

Happy programming, and stay well!
