    Here goes nothing; my newly updated (work in progress) website. Lots of modern and retro game development goodness, with new goodies being added weekly. After three decades of game coding, I thought I'd start giving a little back. Be gentle!

    Just reminiscing about graphical breakthroughs in games. I remember sitting at a friend's house playing Bug Byte's Spectres, a PacMan clone, on the 16K Spectrum circa '82, and my mate's amazement at the ghosts being, like, properly "see through" (aka XORed over each other!) 🤪

    Anybody been getting Linked In requests from "International Researchers" recently? It seems to be a new strapline for "I'm a recruiter, but I don't want you to notice that in the short form version of my profile"... Sigh...
