Hello, from Japan (but American)

Come in and say hi. Let us know a little about you and where you heard about the Commander X16 or this forum.

Hardware Hello, from Japan (but American)

Post by YuzuDrink »

Hey there! I'm a 40-year old developer working in VR and graphics, and sometimes I just need a nice, simpler system to work with where the stack isn't a mile wide and just as deep.

I've been watching this project happily for a while, but recently when 8BG mentioned wanting a 3D project like DOOM or something, it reminded me that yes, I have worked with most of those algorithms and processes at some point or other. So I've popped in now to see what it's like actually making something with assembly and see if I can't get a bit of 3D rendering to work for myself on the 65c02. :D

(Obviously there were older Commodore-era programs which did this, so I'm not questioning the capabilities of the system so much as my own.)

Anyway, I just started the Commander X16 Assembly Language Tutorial video series I found here and figured I may as well poke my head in to say hi and see if anyone wanted to flood me with information I might otherwise struggle to find -- existing projects, guides, techniques, offers of projects we can collaborate on instead of me bootstrapping my own, etc...

Cheers!

EDIT: Oh, right! I'm originally from Colorado, but have been living in Tokyo for 8 and a half years, working at startups and then most recently NVIDIA. I usually work in C++ and Python, so you may understand my excitement to poke around in assembly instead. Something that just makes sense and does what you tell it. 8-)

Can't speak for C++, but Python makes sense to me, and does what I tell it. ;)

It does what you tell it as long as someone else hasn't gone in and injected weird behaviors while you weren't looking. :cry:
