I want Arcadia to include some of my retro gaming mini-projects. I do post a lot of this stuff over on my other blog, and I thought - well, its all about gaming - why am I not linking that stuff back here!
For those interested, I've written a few articles and tutorials... Taking old-school games from the 80's and recreating them in python is a load of fun and challenge. Here's a list of my articles right here:
Learning about programming by doing it how it was done in the 80s
Recreating an old Atari 2600 game in Python
Data converting for future projects
I do have a lot more in the pipeline, and I'll post those here as I go... But for that nostalgiac fix, or just because you're historically curious do check those out. Also check out some of my other non-coding retro posts. A variety of hardware fixes, reviews and 3D imagery!
