Hey All

[matt.lacey]

Been around Ataris for pretty much my whole life thanks to my old man, and still have the STE we had as a kid. On top of that I've got a Falcon that I bought around 7 years ago, a Jaguar I bought almost 20 years ago, a Lynx II that I won from a Kellogg's competition as a kid (really!) and a few Atari 8-bit machines.

Reckon my Falcon is due some hardware loving as I've not done anything aside from the RTC chip a few years back and I'd say it's definitely well past the time where I should sort out the PSU. Been around Atari Forums and FB groups for a while but reasonably quiet due to kids & work. I was working on an STE game last year but it got waylaid and I'd like to get back to it. I did write a columns clone in 68k ASM for the Falcon a few years back using the DHS Demo System as a base. The source code is on GitHub if anyone wants it (https://github.com/mattlacey/columns).

@rpineau Did a nice version I remember playing back in the day as well :)

That's awesome @rpineau :) I didn't really look to see if there were any existing ones, I just wanted to make a game of some sort and was just idly writing graphics routines etc. and realised that I needed a well defined scope or I'd never get it finished. I'd just been playing Columns on a megadrive so figured that was a good choice!
