Hope everyone is keeping well
It must be at least a couple of years since I last posted on the forums, various real life distractions ended up with me drifting away from VIC stuff in general.
During that time I did nothing whatsoever on the VIC front, but now I've found myself with time to get back on the horse (so to say)
Over the last few days I've dug out my old VIC source code, setup a new Cross-Dev environment on my PC and got stuck in.
I must admit at first it was a bit of a shock to the system trying to see what my code was doing, obviously due to the long time away and also that even back then I was still a novice in all things VIC related.
I'm getting there slowly, I even managed to revamp my 40 column code a bit and get it drawing a full 40x24 screen with 24 Locates in approx 0.26 secs (it used take more than a second).
So I thought I'd start on something new (nothing spectacular/exciting) to help me move forward and get back to where I was previously.
It's about 80% done so keep your eye on the "Programming / Games" forums over the next couple of days for an announcement / screenshots / beta download.
Sadly I'm still unable to test these things on the real thing, I do still have my VIC here on the shelf above me but never got around to getting one of those wonderful cartridges that has an SD card built in for easy PC --> VIC transfers.
Hopefully they are still being manufactured so I can make an investment in the near future.
Well that's all for now.
