Re: Yak Shaving - Physical bound copy of the X16 Documentation PDF

..... wheel of time.. in 1 volume? WHY HOW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bioxZa950vo Martina is a little weird... in a good way.

Re: Yak Shaving - Physical bound copy of the X16 Documentation PDF

This thread made me go look up a bunch of videos on book binding; I had no idea it was something regular people could do with regular stuff and not fancy equipment. :P Yeah! It’s weirdly normal! Thread, glue… that’s mostly it. You can use thick cardboard from cereal boxes for the covers, and any ki...

Re: Yak Shaving - Physical bound copy of the X16 Documentation PDF

Yak shaving? :? It’s a term for activities you do to “prepare for” the thing you actually want to do. :lol: In this case, I want to be playing with writing software for the X16; but I felt like I needed a physical manual. So I did that first. But also I wasn’t actually doing the main thing the whol...

Re: Yak Shaving - Physical bound copy of the X16 Documentation PDF

This is black art to me :D Can you post a photo of the finished book? Or doesn't it have a proper cover yet For now, the main cover is the Nightmare Before Christmas fabric I had. I’m considering glueing a cutout of the cx16 logo to the front so it’s easier to tell which side that is :lol: Hand bou...

Re: Yak Shaving - Physical bound copy of the X16 Documentation PDF

And the finished product! (Sorry, only 5 attachments, so I put the 4 in-progress on the top)...

Yak Shaving - Physical bound copy of the X16 Documentation PDF

Story time: So I was sat down last night to start going through learning how to program (using the emulator), and I opened the documentation PDF that comes with the emulator release package, and immediately my mind started wishing I could have a physical copy instead. I'm young enough to have grown ...

Re: Hello, from Japan (but American)

usually work in C++ and Python, so you may understand my excitement to poke around in assembly instead. Something that just makes sense and does what you tell it. 8-) Can't speak for C++, but Python makes sense to me, and does what I tell it. ;) It does what you tell it as long as someone else hasn...

Hello, from Japan (but American)

Hey there! I'm a 40-year old developer working in VR and graphics, and sometimes I just need a nice, simpler system to work with where the stack isn't a mile wide and just as deep. I've been watching this project happily for a while, but recently when 8BG mentioned wanting a 3D project like DOOM or ...
