Haunting Amstrad CPC

Amstrad CPC, or in fact its German incarnation Schneider CPC, was the very first computer I ever laid my hands on. It was around 1988, last class of the elementary school in Poland. Already few years after it was a thing in the Western world. Sometimes it haunts me. Like the rest – Atari XE, […]

Is it moving?

Only future will tell, however… It’s always interesting to learn new-old platforms (Z80, oh man), plus Amstrad CPC was in fact the first computer I touched. Even though I did not own one back then, together with Atari XE, Atari ST and Amiga it’s a huge part of my life I spent in the cyberspace. […]

Making dots.

Like Lemmings used to say “Oh no!”. It’s mid-February, and I haven’t came up with anything new for this a <coming back> blog… This is embarrassing. I did not bury the idea though. I have been continuously reading code, trying to understand code and practice. The steps are tiny however and progress is hardly visible. […]

Auto zoom hurts…

Auto zoom hurts. At least in FS-UAE. The story is short, but actually it took me (it hurts…) a week or so to find the guilty. I was playing with totally basic Copper stuff. Two bars moving up and down, up and down. And up and down. Until you press LMB. That simple code worked […]

Amiga assembler setup.

Aside from other projects I’ve been trying to move forward, back to Amiga coding is one of the most important ones. You may ask why… It is hard to explain (since English is not my 1st language as you might have noticed ;) but in short, this is simply something I want to push beyond […]

Riding a lambda.

Lambda is a vicious horse. It is very hard to keep riding. Time after time I’ve been suddenly bucked off by knottiness of its constructions and complexity. I feel like not moving forward at all… After I went through several sections of pure, systematic theory in great “Learn You a Haskell”, I switched to something […]

To be functional.

The previous post was about a free book on Scala language. Book that introduces Scala and its ecosystem to an impatient person. I have made few attempts to make myself familiar with that language, but… Java language is something I intentionally left behind some time ago. I am no longer a Java developer and won’t […]
