Commander X16

My name is Matt Heffernan, and if you've been following the Commander X16 Facebook group or activity on YouTube, you have probably come across some of my demos, games, and videos. My main projects (both in beta release) right now are a game called Chase Vault (a Zelda-like spin on Pac-Man) and the eXtremely Compact Interpreter, or XCI, an adventure game engine for the X16 inspired by past engines such as SCI and SCUMM, but designed to maximize the potential of the 8-Bit X16 to create the types of games that previously only existed on 16+ bit platforms in the late 1980s and 1990s.

All of my projects are free and open source, and you can check them out on GitHub: https://github.com/SlithyMatt

Also, my progress can be tracked on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/slithymatt

I love 8-bit computers, and I am very excited to witness the rebirth of interest in the more immediate platforms of that bygone era.

Great to see you (and everyone) coming in. If you haven't please upload your creations to the software library at this site. Thanks!

A quick status update on on a bunch of my projects, including upcoming X16 content:

 

Your YouTube tutorials are great Matt! I've always wanted to learn assembly, and this has been a really fun way to get started. I can't wait to run my creations on the real hardware.

I subscribed.  Just doing my part!
