Work on my projects has been sporadic due to real life, but there is some news. I'm going to be releasing a quick 6502 assembly to BennuGD port of the 1977 Atari game Starship 1 for both the Dreamcast and original Xbox in the very near future. This was an interesting experiment, using X's (formerly Twitter) AI assistant Grok 3 to do the code conversion; using the VCS/2600 code for the basic gameplay framework. I changed up the gameplay, graphics, and UI elements somewhat, but the port is still pretty faithful to the original. I utilized some of the scaling algorithms from my F-Project 3D sprite scaling engine in the port, and added/learned a few new elements, with the help from Grok. I need to add sound and clean up a few things, and I'll put it out with full BennuGD source code and project files available for those who are interested. Stay tuned.

Screenshots of "F-Project", a scaling sprite 3D engine experimental project, which is still in the beginning stages. I will turn this into a game, once I reach every milestone I've set. The name itself is inspired by the experimental stage of UGA/Tetsuya Mizuguchi's Dreamcast/PS2 game Rez ("K-Project") and the videos documenting the various stages of that game's design. It's one of my favorite games of all time, and my game Primitive Nightmare has taken some inspiration and a few elements from that game.
