Info for Presenters
Intended audience:
Anyone presently within the MEGA65 community or interested in the machine
Could be a mix of folks on discord, or from facebook c65/mega65 group, or http://forum64.de
Duration:
Happy for presenters to give me an estimate of how much time they need for their presentation
I'm thinking a maximum of 10 minutes would be good, so that a few extra minutes after can be for questions.(but open to negotiation if you feel your topic is worthy of more time)
Level of Detail:
Up to the presenter, they can try gage what the audience might take an interest in, some possibilities:
The journey that got you to where you are
The toolchain that aided you in getting there
Insights gained, gotchyas to look out for, anything worth highlighting for anyone interested in following a similar journey to you
Technical Rehearsal
Presently, we're aiming for a technical rehearsal on the Sunday 25th June - 7PM UTC.
Main aim was for Retrocombs, Lydon and myself to iron out the MC duties, moderator duties and Zoom/Youtube streaming arrangemnts.
But if any presenters would like to use it as a chance to practise their presentation, message Gurce on discord and we can keep you in the loop on this
Zoom call / Youtube streaming arrangements
...
Zoom meeting will be for organisers, presenters and trusted known people within the Discord community that asked to join in on the Zoom call.
This group will have the Zoom chat window if needed
The youtube stream will be for the general public
...
think there's a 30 second delay in the stream here

9) JUST PIXEL tool / Graphics on the MEGA65 / Blockz
mteufel (prerecorded Video) - Video Link
Link to JustPixel online: https://pixels.mega65.org/
My Twitter to follow the development of JUST PIXEL and the game BLOCKZ: https://twitter.com/marcteufel
Source for JUST PIXEL: https://github.com/mteufel/just-pixel
Development is happening in the master branch
Key shortcutreference: https://github.com/mteufel/just-pixel/blob/master/src/util/keys.ts
FCM mode can be selected and pixelled but a lot of features are missing. After BLOCKZ I will make a MEGA65 project and then the FCM features in JUST PIXEL will be improved massively (because I need it).
At the moment most features of JUST PIXEL are available in multicolor mode - because my actual game project BLOCKZ is using this format.
