My recent obsessions wouldn’t have translated to a HOPE talk this time around, so I’ll be partying it up late “Saturday” night at HOPE after my friend d3nt and before my new friend dj-spock #digitalhardcore #hopeconf

I'm crazy! 🤪 After @dosnostalgic talked about DOS versions of Wordle, I had to write Bootle: A wordle clone in a boot sector. I could fit only 57 words but c'mon it's the game in 512 bytes!!! github.com/nanochess/bootle #gamedev #retro #retrogaming #wordle cc @XlogicX

The world needs more people that think like this, tragically, we now have one less. He was nothing but good vibes every time our paths crossed. May his inspiration continue to spread, he will be missed.
I'm increasingly thinking that every functioning system has two forms: The abstraction that outsiders are led to believe, and the reality that insiders actually and carefully operate. You don't incrementally learn a system. You eventually unlearn its necessary lies.

MatchUp is a boot sector game by nullvalue1 from Indiana, USA. It is a memory card game where you select the card with the arrows, and the push Enter to reveal. Very fun game. #gamedev #retro #retrogaming cc @XlogicX github.com/nullvalue1/MatchU…

This book by @XlogicX explains @nanochess's boot sector Rogue game, with one full page per 32-bit word of the original binary! Does any other reverse engineering book approach that ratio?

For those that want a physical copy &&|| to support the work that went into it. However...if you'd just like a free pdf, DM me for the details. This is a guide based on a game @nanochess made. lulu.com/en/us/shop/eric-dav…

BTW, the free internet stream of HOPE (starting tomorrow) is livestream.com/internetsocie…. As a reminder, my talk is tomorrow at 5pm, right after the keynote from Cory Doctorow
For those into boot sector gaming or want to see gdb used in really stupid ways, my HOPE 2020 talk is scheduled at 5pm on the first day of @hopeconf (Saturday Jul, 25th). I have a special guest as well! (@nanochess, creator of bootRogue, 2 books dedicated to MBR gaming, and more)

Looking for a book found this boot sector game, a remake of DONKEY.BAS, wasn't going to click because the title looked like computer-generated snafu #gamedev #retro #retrogaming #bootsector #gwbasic youtube.com/watch?v=Axg77wPD… pouet.net/prod.php?which=679… cc @XlogicX
