Well, I'm happy to report that I've been thinking increasingly about getting back to my retro projects lately. I've been motivated by a number of diverse factors, and (dangerously) a hankering to start a new project but I've promised myself that I need to finish off a few others before going down that path.
Tonight I actually took preliminary steps towards playing around with FPGA implementations again; not directly Retro Ports but at least in the sphere of retro computing. The impetus for that particular exercise was the fact that I'm back doing FPGA designs for work again. That said, I didn't get far before deciding that what I was researching wasn't feasible at this point.
Nevertheless, I'm still motivated to do something and am intending on redirecting that motivation to finishing off the CoCo3 implementation of Asteroids. It will take me a session or two to ramp up again, but from memory I was about to optimise the graphics rendering, which required some C code to generate the hand-compiled sprites. I would also like to complete the C implementation, which would allow me to port it relatively easily to the Neo Geo.
And I have further plans for Asteroids, but at this point undecided what aspect I'll work on next.
But hopefully I'll be back to regular updates soon.
Cool!
