In 2006 I was off work for 6 weeks recovering from an injury. Just before my surgery I learned about the Atari 2600 homebrew scene - and was fascinated by the tricks you had to do to get something game-looking on the screen (I mean, the scanlines on the TV directly map to code cycles: so if you use too many instructions while the beam is in the visible section of the television, the whole game goes skewed!) My recovery time was completely lost in following the AtariAge forums and tutorials, and I ended up with this "game": https://github.com/mrspeaker/plops https://github.com/mrspeaker/plops - you can test it out by grabbing the .bin file and dropping in the online emulator. Not the most polished game ever, but was such a learning experience!
