My computer classes were out of school timetable so I couldn’t swap anything but still I was looking forward to those days every week! There are lots of old computer magazines & books archived and scanned over the net by nostalgic people. I have a few bookmarked:

they aren’t c64 books exclusive but they will give you a good nostalgia dope anyway :)

By the way we are still surprised that
a) there’s a vj meeting (and its associated community) in London
b) someone is using neon and never told us!

If you’re going to try and compile it, or have any issue or question, please tell us in the forum.

I already tried to make the core engine work with opengl but failed a little bit miserably, but I’m pretty sure there are better programmers than me out there that can manage to do it :D

thanks for the being the bearer of exciting news. I’ve only had a brief look at your site, but I think I would like to meet you.

I remember using logo at primary school. The computer room was decked out with Commodore 64’s, networked somehow, I think, to a floppy drive. Wow! “Computer” class was once every second Wednesday; the other Wednesdays were “Craft”. I remember switching once to get an extra week of the former, and started to get books from the library teaching BASIC. They had little cartoon drawings of robots explaining things like an array. I wonder if they are still around – I think I’d like to acquire acquire some. I have no idea who they are by, though. Maybe they are still hiding out in the shelves at my old school!

From such humble beginnings… perhaps the next level is to pop the hood on this DirectX beast and get that skipping craft to play with comptuer graphics buzz back again.

Cheers,
