I just deactivated my Twitter account, not a moment too early. I haven't really used it since Space Karen took over, but his recent actions was the final straw.

I am no longer with Windows.

Had not booted into it more than a handful of times the last year anyway, but when the SSD with my Linux installation started to warn about imminent failure, I took the executive decision to wipe my Windows disk and replace with a new Linux install.

There's only a few games I'll be missing out on, but that's a small sacrifice. I just wish there was a really good replacement for VSCode, and I could go MS free.

The (relatively new) power supply for my Atari 600 gave up yesterday. Quite annoying, but I pulled out my C64 instead for the first time in ages.

Maybe Smol Snek 2 should be a C64 game. 🤔

As an exercise (in patience) I'm implementing a TNFS server in Rust.

Today I reached the point where I can mount a disk image (Read only) in #fujinet and boot from it on my 600XL. Now I just need to add write support before I start the refactoring. 😅

I got my CosmosEx up and running again after a couple of years of not working. This could mean that my Atari ST activities will resume. Yay!

The progress on my smol snek game ground to a halt after the christmas holidays, but the last week has been quite productive.

A new secret special level is added and working as intended.

At this pace it might be ready for release some time in May. No promises!

Tested with $31 and 1 instead, with the same result. Those values happens to be the ones left there after booting the disk so maybe I just leave them there and don't touch them.

Adding high score table to Smol Snek Game with FujiNet support!
I can read/write the disk sector with the high score table, but struggle to understand the DCB setup (like why I have to set DUNIT to 2 when disk is mounted as D1). And how do I know what device the disk is mounted as? I don't want to accidentally write a sector on the wrong disk.
Any pointers on where to find good documentation would be appreciated.

A few weeks back I watched a stream from @goz where he coded on a snake game in basic for the Atari 8 bit. I got inspired to make my own version of snake, but in assembly.
Here is a smol snek peek.
