retrovulcano🕹️<p>¡Por fin es viernes! Hora de desconectar del mundo y sumergirse en los clásicos del ZX Spectrum y el Commodore 64. Píxeles, chiptunes y nostalgia a tope. 🎮🕹️ <a href="https://tkz.one/tags/Retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://tkz.one/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ZXSpectrum</span></a> <a href="https://tkz.one/tags/Commodore64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Commodore64</span></a> <a href="https://tkz.one/tags/ViernesRetro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ViernesRetro</span></a></p>

@haitchfive<p>This is another prototype where I'm putting together some of the earliest optimised canvas drawing I had written for the first Deluxe Draw version (last month), I replaced the bespoke hardcoded GUI elements with Deluxe UI widgets (newly written, in the last couple of weeks), and re-implemented parts of (last week's) ZX Draw code example I had written for Deluxe UI. </p><p>In theory, if this experiment succeeds, I should be able to deliver a Deluxe Draw that is able to work with both, modern layered pixmap painting, and with old ZX Spectrum mode painting. And with Deluxe UI running unmodified on Mac, Linux, and Windows!</p><p>So far, so good!</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ZXSpectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ZXSpectrum</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Spectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spectrum</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Speccy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Speccy</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/DeluxeDraw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeluxeDraw</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/DeluxeUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeluxeUI</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/pixelart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pixelart</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/golang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>golang</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a></p>

Nacho<p>Ya he recibido la nueva <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/MicroHobby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MicroHobby</span></a> y aunque sólo he leído por ahora la mitad puedo confirmar que esto no es un sacacuartos sin alma para señores nostálgicos de mediana edad. Es un producto hecho con un cariño infinito y un profundo respeto al original (no solo mantiene la numeración sino que incluso tienen el mismo ISBN), sorprendentemente lleno de contenido para tratarse de un nicho dentro de una afición de nicho. La única pega que le puedo poner es que las demos son solo para la versión en digital con lo cual en papel pierdes una parte de la experiencia. Encantado estoy, no solo seguiré suscrito sino que posiblemente me pase a papel más digital para tener nuevos viejos juegos para el Spectrum :flan_hearts: </p><p><a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/zxspectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zxspectrum</span></a> <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/spectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spectrum</span></a> <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/sinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sinclair</span></a></p>
