Beard Barber - my #OneHourGameJam entry (OHGJ #558, theme: Dwarves) made with oscar64 for C64.
Cut dwarves' beards - but they grow really fast! Makes zero biological sense, but at least avoids the "dwarf gathers gold" clichΓ©.

Tried my hand at a 10 minute game development challenge with my Commodore 128D with a 1084S monitor, coding everything live! Check out the video here: youtu.be/nYKU1ChDhoA #gamdev #retro #commodore

I've implemented another minigame for the #C64 in Assembler. This time, we are going to Paris to relive the Olympic swimming competition on the Seine! Find the game here: github.com/demesos/retr... #gamedev #retro #C64

Believe it or not - a word wrapping routine in Assembler supporting customized text windows, handling words longer than a line and #C64 logical double lines is really tricky to code. This is what I’ve done so far github.com/demesos/LAMA...
Now I need to get rid of the space at the end of a line

Create a PETSCII frame designed for displaying text or other content within a game. The frame can be any width, but remember that less is moreβ€”there should be sufficient space to display content. Avoid adding text or logos, as these might conflict with a game's theme.

What's the difference between a VC1541-I floppy drive and a toaster?
The toaster is faster, but the floppy drive gets hotter!
