I'm from Australia. I have been excitedly following David Murray's project since his first "Building My Dream Computer" video.
I find the concept of the system very satisfying with its lack of bloatware (found on modern systems) and the community engagement. Most interesting is the ability to code at the hardware level, and create working code using the powers of my imagination.
I've taken it upon myself the challenge of self-learning 65C02 assembly - why oh why put myself through the torture?!
There's great resources around the obscure or forgotten parts of the web. A shoutout to the great tutorial by Matt Heffernan that put me on the right track.
But it's been very fun, learning assembly is challenging and rewarding. At the moment I'm working on a puzzle game, with plans to finish it in the coming year, and then I'll be planning to cook up something more grand. I look forward to see what else the community has come up with
and look forward to chatting to you all.
