I am a long time Windows user who just set up a new computer on Saturday, a Mac Mini running on OS X Leopard. I didn't get the Mac to replace my PC, and I plan to use both for a long time to come. In fact, they share the same keyboard, monitor, and mouse. I haven't even used it for 12 hours yet, so here are my first impressions....
Zach's Projects
It has been over a year since I've posted anything to my blog. Unfortunately I do not have much time for homebrewing these days, but I still hope someday to get back to some of my unfinished projects.

If you haven't seen it in the homebrew forum yet, I have posted a demo of a well-known Russian block game. The kernel manages 10 independently colored blocks at 8 pixels wide. (Well, 9 pixels for the far right one.)
Although there...

I've been busy making an applet of Catacombs of Mu. Since it's an original game, I thought it would be a good idea to try out the gameplay before doing any 6502 coding.

OK, I changed the colours in Four-Play for those of you who live across the Atlantic, (or the Pacific, for you Aussies and Kiwis.) 
The colours look good in z26 to me. Anyone care to try on hardware?

Today I built a bike light out of a prototype board, a 9V battery connector, a resistor, and an LED. It won't win any beauty contests, but it works. I have new respect for the people around here would build their own hardware, because I've now dealt with wires slipping out of holes heat them, getting plastic insulation too close to the...
Unfortunately this won't be done in time for the Four-Play release.

If the design is really as simple as shown below, and if it could actually work, this could be a good electronics project for a beginner like myself. It seems to be just a matter of attaching wires.
If the dumper is safe, I can think of a certain undumped Charlie Brown prototype that resides here in Northern California. It was batari who first...

[attachment=1237:attachment](new binary with bug fixes and new puzzle #1)

Overall, I thought the comments from the 2006 1K compo were fair. The addition of new puzzles should significantly improve gameplay.

Here's another kernel that I would have not thought possible earlier. It draws up to 17 objects that can independently be any of 5 colors. I'll give you all a chance to guess how this works before explaining it.
Here are some details. Are they useful as hints?[list]
