mteufel - wants full 15 minutes
(so no live q/a - ask folks to ask questions on discord #megavision channel instead)

JUST PIXEL tool

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

    !!! A reference of all key strokes can be found the key.ts file

• 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

  .

• Graphics on the MEGA65

• Blockz
  

• muse
  POSTPONED FOR NEXT TIME

  • Progress on Galaga core port via Mister2MEGA65 framework

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

Powerpoint Template

Mteufel has kindly shared his powerpoint template, if you’d like a MEGA65/C64-colour scheme template for your presentation

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

  • This group will have youtube comments

• Discord server is another location we’re planning for chat/comments/questions
