A Rather Productive Day™, and fun at that!.

I’ve been horribly busy with various things as of recently, and have not updated my diary in quite a spell. None the less, I’ve actually had a bit of time to play today, as well as learn.

I’m growing to love SDL, it’s nearly entirely trivial to port things written for it, and it is amazingly fast, not to mention spiffy! If that wasn’t enough, Sam even ported Maelstrom to it, made his own OSX port.

Sadly, this was not to be released...

My mind is a bit fried from a bit of CP-1600 decompilation in my mind, everythings just fiddly nibbles and bits at the moment. I’m quite impressed with how simple Joe’s work was to port, really, given the oddities of this system. That SDL has managed to stay as stable as it is has really won me over.

Maybe I’ll play some prototyped games for a bit this evening to relax. ;)
