Getting in to game boy development a bit. Finna purchase https://maxoakland.itch.io/oh-im-a-cat-now - might be a fun one to demo 8-bit gaming. Hoping it'll be much simpler than a AAA game.

It's cute, I like how the sprites tend to alternate between 2 frames so the things that are "alive" stand out from the rest. Nice background music too. This one scene where you walk across a bridge reminds me of the scene in Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time where you cross the bridge to leave Kokiri village

I like the aesthetic of https://www.mesen.ca/ but I couldn't get dotnet to compile. For some reason I have dotnet 1.0.0-preview2-1-003177 on my mac - why? And I link it from my ~/.profile, so removing it should be as easy as taking the folder out or even just removing it from my path. Then maybe I can get dotnet compiled from source, without using the brew method. Another data point for this mac slowly turning into gentoo.

I blocked youtube to try to be more intentional about watching videos, too many hourlong+ videos that keep my attention ... algorithm too good ....

Cool website https://gbdev.io/

I got this working https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install/source

it has commands like

rgbasm -o hello-world.o hello-world.asm

I ended up with this paper open, could be cool to dip back into algorithms https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.00558

Cool https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Static_random-access_memory#History

Cool name but I still don't get it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener_diode

Weird https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer

Did a search for "sharp 35902 asm repl" but didn't find it. Could make it with the various primities
