Weeknight 'Virtual' Dev session #8, Thursday 10th December 2020, 7pm - 10pm

[Arcadian]

As the new games and demo coding sections of the forum are currently very active, we are now hosting weeknight "Dev sessions" on Zoom, that are primarily focused on the development of new games and graphics/music demos for Acorn computers as well as development tools, emulators and debuggers.

They take place the week in-between the 2 x Tuesday night 'general' sessions on the Thursday evening, between 7pm and 10pm.

The sessions are intended for developers to share progress updates and request/offer help and feedback. We hope that these sessions will help motivate and encourage developers to see projects through to completion.

Just to be clear - these sessions are open to everyone: programmers, graphics artists and musicians, even if you've just got an interest/appreciation of - or ideas for - new games and demos, please come along for moral support - there may be opportunities to beta-test new versions of upcoming projects . There really isn't a limit to the number of places available - well, the maximum we can host in a Zoom meeting is 100 but it's unlikely we'll ever get anywhere near that figure!

If there are any issues you'd like help with - or would like to demonstrate something - please leave details in the thread and we'll add them to the lists of items to be covered.

If you are new to Zoom, forum member JudgeBeeb has written a handy guide to getting set up and logged in.

I've already sent invites out to most of the Dev Night regulars, but should anybody else want to attend - or if you haven't received the Zoom logins - please post in this thread and I will send them to you.

Hi Kees, yes you were sent the invite with Zoom details on 27th November, along with all the other 'regulars'. I'll send you the info again separately.

Zoom info also pm'd to markoceans and chrissawer.

I may not be about for all of it, but I'll make sure the meeting is launched on time.

The only person to ask for a slot is JIM (James Watson) who demonstrated his Pac-ton engine at the last one. Tonight he'll be talking about the other projects he's worked on/is working on. 9:00pm - 9.30pm.

I think there have been some interesting developments in the land of 65816 - not only beeb816, but also Dominic's Blitter, and a new model (by Dave hoglet) for PiTubeDirect of John Kortink's second processor. With three new platforms, and one old one, there are new possibilities for 65816 applications on the Beeb. So, I can speak informally about that sort of thing, if there's interest.

If it's not too late, can I get an invite please?
