ABUG Dev night #47, Thursday 11th August 2022, 7pm - 10pm (BST)

[BigEd]

On Thursday there will be an ABUG Dev night, at 7, on zoom. (Dev Nights run on Thursdays, every three weeks.)

Come and discuss your Acorn-related dev projects, whether they be creating things, breaking things, or digging into things. Or even if your project is stuck... and if you haven't got a project, come along to hear about what's going on. Because somewhere, surely, someone has been doing something mighty interesting.

Hardware, software, tooling, emulators, games - all kinds of development, debugging, reverse engineering and investigation are on topic.

For a flavour of a typical meeting, see this previous thread.

For a bit of a heads-up nearer the time, subscribe to this thread using the spanner gadget below. I'll bump this thread the day before and on the day, if I remember.

(We're no longer sending out calendar invitations, so be sure to manage your own calendar!)

Bump! Tonight at 7, on zoom, usual coords, PM for details.

I'm not sure if I'll be back in time, but was wondering if anyone was interested in some rendering code.
I've been looking at drawing masked sprites on a tile based background.
What I have so far will update 5 16x16 sprites at 50fps from one copy of the sprite data doing the shifting and making on the fly.
It will do 8-10 at 25fps without flickering and can do more but depending on alignment, some sprites will flicker.

Sounds like a good one to bring to the session - hope you can join.

We're on!

Edit: a small group this time, eight I think, probably because of the heat wave.
