If you look closely, I also held a very very small flamingo too happy
I gave away some of them to the unfortunate flamingo-less guys happy

My simple setup with a LEGO Flamingo, built by my daughter.
There were so many great wild compo entries I did not start the Flamingo there, though it is Commodore related as you can see happy

I followed the live stream, it was nice to watch all the new releases for the C264 series. Congrats to all the winners in the gamedev- as well as in the demo and wild compo. TCFS rocked it all with Donkey Kong - fabulous as always.!! Cheers!!!

Hey Guys, I just wake up an hour ago!
As usual the Arok was a huge positive influence on my mood, it was a great party and fantastic chat with a lot of very cool guys and friends.

We could share with each other some latest developments and our future plans.
It was very nice to test some latest hardwares on our machines, like:
-the latest USB Mouse (and touchpad and mouse in joy mode), with iocon based "starter application" from BSZGGG. Next steps? Possible applications, games?
-We discussed the future potentials of it's Wifi module and checked out the latest developments the C64 guys did with their WIFI card.
-The Memory Expansion Expander Init (MEEI - first of it's kind) handed over to BSZGG! I promised I will do some more in the future, when all the components will be available.
-Listening to the Adlib+ MIDI card from Sukkopera and test it with Siz and his Roland sound module (my Yamaha missed some audio cables I will buy soon, so we can test the cause of our findings)
-Sharing with the team the other sound cards from Sukkopera.Still DigiMoooz mising some components hard to get here, but the almost Amiga quality music (I mean chipmusic) could give us an extra boost potential in demos (even if only in wild).
BTW why noone really uses the NST"s Digiblaster 8 bit DAC? (same as SuppoPera's covox like cards working on the same register). Because it is a legit demo pletform, and the 8bit DAC can be used with trackers.
-Checking out the most awaited FPGA TED picture quality in real life. It was great!
-We could share our Plus/4 controlled LEGO Interface A card by Andras (next time we will build something more impressive and BIGGER happy
Unfortunately right we miss some key parts (in delay) to finish our planned "big robots")

And those fantastic new software releases will give us a lot of joyful hours (again). Thank you all!

Some really talented members of our scene could again prove, that despite the known limitations Plus/4 platform is still one of the best 8bit gaming platform (in really skillfull hands happy ).
Seeings the face of the C64 guys when listening to a fullBass music from Csabo with 3 channels was priceless grin

The C64 version and the very recent Spectrum version were both covered on prominent sites, and they have been left alone. Our guess/hope is that they don't "protect" all their characters the same way.

Hi Marco Polo, awesome to see you around on the forum happy

I think these are the one we should watch for:

21:00 GFX compo (nothing was announced, but there might be a Plus/4 entry from the usual suspects)
22:00 Game dev compo (3 games expected!)
22:30 Wild compo (no news)
23:00 Demo compo (no news, but we can always hope, and should be a fun watch)

@TCFS right. So it could be time for a perfectly working conversion of Flipper Environment Editor to do justice about it. Apropos, do you like the screenshot I've fixed up for that game's entry here? wink

Ok, guys, just to increase the confusion, games using vectors are not necessarily drawing lines on the screen. For example a flipper game implements physics simulation using speed vectors.

@Luca: I usually not bother with trying to find the link on the party page, but go directly to twitch and search there for the party stream.

Based on the fact that the source code has vectors, who wants to guess what the rumoured TCFS game might be?

Hey, it's a little offtopic, but are there any memorable game heroes in the Plus/4 game world?
Like Mario or Zelda for Nintendo.

@MMS: Ez úgy működik, hogy elkezded év elején piszkálni Poison-t, hogy tud-e már időpontot. És amint tud, abban a pillanatban foglalsz helyet Ajkán. Ilyenkor már régen lekésted.
De ha végleg kifogysz a lehetőségekből, írj nekem és talán lesz rá megoldás, de nem ígérek semmit sem.

a) we will sleep there in the hostel
