Delighted to have received first place in the @evoke@abraum.social Alternative Platforms compo and lots of lovely audience feedback for my TIC-80 demo, "The one that got away"!

Watch online: https://tic80.com/play?cart=4808

It's inspired by a real occurrence at the inaugural Evoke drone show last year, which I was reminded of a month or so back via @Violet@chitter.xyz 's summer 2025 travel thread: @travelracc@chitter.xyz . It came together mostly within the last week (with special appreciation to @zool@icosahedron.website for enduring my last-minute party-coding-and-composing efforts...)

Just released Reverie, a browser-based chiptune tracker: https://github.com/reverietracker/reverie/ https://reverietracker.github.io/ It recently made its first public appearance at the #emfcamp Variety Night, where I demonstrated writing a Spectrum chiptune cover of Call Me Maybe in 10 minutes, and now it's time to unleash it on the world. Currently it's a clone of ZX Soundtracker (with the one enhancement of supporting dual AY chip Turbosound music) - hopefully it will become a lot more than that. Including absorbing the somewhat-related work I've been doing for the TIC-80... (Full disclosure, as I realise it's a showstopper for some: some use of Claude here, mostly for debugging and Node package wrangling rather than actual coding.)

still can't believe they cut the final verse of YMCA, which reveals that the narrator is a time traveller addressing his former self to fulfil a stable time loop

Does covering your tent with a space blanket actually work to keep it cool in the mornings? I've never tried it before, and most websites say yes but I've found one (https://tentexplorer.com/how-to-keep-a-tent-cool/) that seems quite insistent that it makes it worse by conducting heat instead of reflecting it, unless you rig up a contraption to suspend the blanket above the tent. #emfcamp

@evoke@abraum.social @gilesgoat@toot.wales Hi! I tend to keep things pretty oldschool with tooling myself - no real integration with VSCode, just a Makefile that I run to assemble the code and launch the emulator (Fuse). There's also https://bazematic.demozoo.org/ which I built primarily for live-coding events, but some people have had success using it as a mini dev environment for small projects. It doesn't have any code export options so you'll need to copy/paste it into a "real" assembler for the final build, but it might fit the bill!
