VR will be like the web. Eventually it will belong to all of us. Once it gets off the ground, no single company will be able to ruin it. Just like touchscreen smartphones, initially we had the iPhone which is relatively locked down and cont

If you're interesting but perhaps never got the chance to use the original 1984 Mac OS, then you might want to check out this in-browser emulator port I put together: http://jamesfriend.com.au/pce-js/ In some ways

You could have linked directly to the file containing the tutorial[1], it's quite readable. I quite like this sort of 'code prose' style, which reminds me of Learn Lua in 15 Minutes [2]. Light Table particularly lends itsel

If you want to try this out without building it yourself, I've put together a quick Emscripten port, including the two demos: http://jamesfriend.com.au/x6502

It's already built from two open source projects: PCE[0] and Emscripten[1]. It patches Emscripten a little, and PCE a lot, so I'll need to separate those patches out and add them into the build process. Basically the code is not r

Yeah, I'll put it up on GitHub once I've had time to clean up the build process to separate the new code from the dependencies (which I've had to hack extensively). In the meantime here's a dump of the source: http:&#x2

Potentially, but I feel that the historical significance of these systems and the value of making them available to a newer generation of creators outweighs the technical infringement of copyright. It's basically abandonware, after all
