Yeah, back in the days I was in the demoscene, coding for fun. 25 years later, I started coding demos, on Apple 2 (yep, that old machine I had when I was kind). You can call it nostalgia, but hey, that's coding for fun, pushing the machine to the limit, taking time to optimize for speed or memory instead of customer's satisfaction. Plus you get to meet other passionnated people, like before.
So yeah, it's somewhat "going back", but at least, I can express creativity in some unbounded ways. Plus, I code my dream, not the dream of the company which is paying me :-)
- forgotmypw17 6y agoNice! I decided to go back to the old Web days and write something which really does work in ANY browser. So far, I've reached back to Netscape 2.x and Mosaic :)

- register 6y agoI am going trough the same stage and started developing the game that I wanted to develop as a kid on my first home computer: a Commodore 16. At the time I learnt to program in 7501 ASM ( a 6502 derived CPU ) but the endeavour was too much for a kid given the tools of the time. Nowadays is way easier: I have a sort of IDE built over emacs, can easily design ( and rip ) sprites and charsets, can mix code in macro ASM and a C-like language and can easily debug on an emulator. It's really a joy!
