I'm dereferencing one of its members to copy its Rect bounds, and I don't need to lock it while that's happening?

Mini-vMac: System 4.2 is too ancient for this I guess (my go to small boot disk for small programs usually). Mini-vMac: System 6.0.3 yields this: edit - and I'm gettting a Mac bomb on my real Plus (memory management error) SIGH

ok, launching under System 7.5.3 Opening Superpaint v2 copying from Resedit to superpaint copying it back to Resedit under PICT id=129 it now properly gets compiled and seen under mini-vMac, but now this (no text. ignore the slightly vertically displaced copy of the pict, that's normal)

Incredibly strange behavior. I only see a blank PICT resource under system 6 or earlier. shows up fine in system 7. Shows as 866 bytes, so I doubt it's a colored PICT.

Behavior under System 7 mini-vMac: PICT won't show but FillRect and printf do Behavior under Finder 4.1 mini-vMac: System error 3 Behavior under System 7.5.3 Basilisk II: everything works Behavior under a real Mac Plus (system 6.0.8):

Doing timing benchmarks on graphical operations (DrawPicture, CopyBits, MoveBlock, etc) is stumping me right now. I don't particularly like converting long values to Str255 and moving about the pen to DrawString all my result information across zillions of tiny Str255 fragments, alternating...

What's the model of your floppyEMU? What files did you copy onto the SD card? Remember that you can always contact Steve of BMOW for support https://www.bigmessowires.com/contact/

In my new video, I explain why MOOF files are useful for the vintage Mac community and how to use them in emulation and with your hardware.

I'd be interested. For me, the ultimate step would be whatever idea would let you print the game diploma after you beat uninvited/shadowgate/déjà Vu while you're in-game, but you can screenshot those screens with cmd-alt-shift 3 iirc and then you could maybe print off that MacPaint screen cap...

Welcome! You are among fellow enthusiasts. I have a YT channel called 1Bit Fever Dreams where I walk on the line between hardware and software. Right now, the swing of the pendulum is on the software side as I try to push out a series on THINK C for b&W macs. I like them both, sometimes by...

It's definitely easier to find DOS games than productivity software...until archive.org grew into a powerhouse of archiving goodness. It should be your first reflex for old computer anything: https://archive.org/details/word-perfect-5.1-for-dos-5.1-1990-12-3.5-720-kb-english

I recently updated my F256K's fpga to get the latest and greatest, with the hopes to squash a bug I was encountering in superbasic programs and it worked! I documented the process in a video:

Come watch superbasic generate a fractal LIVE on my #F256K (it might bug!) RIGHT NOW https://www.youtube.com/live/6KaZXBu3Beo?feature=share

F256K just got some attention from none other than Jan Beta, who got a demo system. Here's part 1 of him checking out mostly the hardware, but a bit of basic and kernel functions:

Artist: Mark Ferrari (of Secret of Monkey Island, LOOM, etc. fame) Coder: HaydenKale (aka clandrew) Source and github: https://github.com/clandrew/livingworlds

2nd video goes RIGHT into game making. By the end, these are functional: -Whole screen GrafPort -Immediate keyboard input response with GetKeys -Bad graphics that allow gameplay design -A simple winning condition -Code organizing and guidelines to keep it simple Included is a .ZIP...

I started this video series back in March of this year. I'm finally committed to share some of the stuff I've learned since I started on this Mac C journey back in 2004. Here's the first entry that explains the Hows and Whys and Whats: It's my most successful video to date on my channel. I...
