My Journey: From 8-Bit to Modern Web
Welcome! I’m a hobbyist developer with roots deep in the golden era of home computing. My passion for making games started on the Atari 800 XL, where I first learned to breathe life into pixels using BASIC.
The Path of a Coder
- Atari 800 XL: Where it all began—playing, experimenting, and writing my first lines of code.
- Amiga Era: Stepping up to the legendary Amiga, diving into AMOS Basic and later tackling Amiga Assembler to squeeze every bit of power out of the hardware.
- Modern Web: Today, I’ve returned to my roots of "pure" coding. No bloated engines, no huge downloads. Just Native JavaScript and Web Technologies.
My Philosophy: Native & Instant
I build my games—like Codebreaker—with a clear focus:
- Zero Overhead: No frameworks, just Vanilla JS and HTML5 Canvas.
- Instant Play: No installation, no download. Click and play directly in your browser.
- Retro Heart: Simple pixel art and logical challenges, inspired by the games that defined my childhood.
For me, game dev is about the joy of the craft. It’s about taking that 80s and 90s spirit and bringing it into the modern browser.
Thanks for stopping by and keeping the retro flame alive!
