I’ve been waiting for the Godot game engine release of 3.1. Now that it has been released, I can start to play with it and create a few projects. Some of my older ‘unfinished’ projects and ideas, such as AdventureWorld and MovieMonster, have been neglected. It might be a nice idea to convert them over … Continue reading Waiting for godot →

After trying different z80 assemblers and simulators, I have found a z80 development workflow that works well for me on my mac . There are quite a few open source tools to use, and finding the right combination has really improved my z80 assembly learning. The z80 development workflow I have come up with the … Continue reading z80 development workflow on mac osx →

Documentation is hard. Today I’ve released into the wild the start of the documentation for the Whizz80 project hosted on its own site. I originally had posts here, as well as on hack-a-day, photos on instagram, facebook,  but I needed a central location to store all my files and documentation. So I registered the domain ‘whizz80.com‘ … Continue reading Documentation is Hard →

The system backplane for the Whizz80 has been redesigned and refined. I’ve been using Eagle to design the schematic for the Whizz-80 computer. I originally started to hand wire parts of the circuits on prototyping PCB board but found that point to point wiring was just too hard, so I’ve now decided to get PCBs … Continue reading System Backplane for the Whizz80 →

I may have been a little quiet on my blog about the Whizz-80 computer I’m building, but I have been spending lots of time reading and learning more about the z80, and its inner workings. I’ve also decided to put the day-to-day progress on the hackaday.io website as it can reach out to a target audience … Continue reading Whizz-80 →
