I am not sure if I posted this already but here's a screenshot of my weather reporting Raspberry Pi device. it's a 4in touch screen that goes and gets current weather information off the internet displays it. very cool little device.

Been watching this weird Russian movie on Amazon Prime called Attraction. The most interesting thing so far is this driving game. Anyone know what it is?

Who was the fastest sprinter in 1988? Canada's Ben Johnson. At the Sumer Olympics in Seoul he ran 100m in 9.79 seconds, breaking the previous record. Sadly for Johnson and Canada he was later found guilty of cheating via steroids and was stripped of his records. Further investigation found that ...

What do you do after you spend 9 years criss crossing Canada and the USA to attend arcade and pinball events? You go through all your photos and publish a book!I have been thinking about doing this for several years, but needed a little extra kick in the pants to get started. Steve Grunberger -- ...

Has anyone else noticed that form time to time typing in a text window gets very slow on Twin Galaxies? Sometimes I have to only type three words at a time, and let whatever is watching me catch up before I can continue. It is not always of course, as right now things are going smoothly. But 5 ...

Is it a console, or a staple gun? I am willing to bet this is just a concept being floated around to gauge reaction. Is it a V for 5? Or just some wacky kids playing pranks?I just got a PS3, so I am in no hurry.

Did Ecco the Dolphin exist as an Activision title on the 2600??

Hello @admin staff @SincerelyFranny @JaceHallI I attempted to open a dispute on an Atari 2600 Commando score by Rudy Ferretti, and I clicked on the "undisputed" link, but it opened the dispute for somebody else.https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/210507-Dispute-WILLIAM-MCEVOY-Atari-2600-VCS-Commando-NTSC-Game-1-(Points)-Player-Alan-Hewston-Score-274-700?p=1057583&posted=1#post1057583 ...

Here is the Submission Queue live counter. Recorded live in front of a studio audience.

Be amazed mortals! Be amazed at my mighty programming prowess.I introduce to you the Twin Galaxies submission queue live update display. This display uses the Pimoroni Rainbow Hat and some custom python code I used to determine the submission ...

There is a dispute that I believe was handled incorrectly by Dave Hawksett, and I would like it to be revisted by @Jace Hall I was banned from the dispute (unfairly in my opinion) so I cannot comment on the dispute itself.SNES SFC Contra III - Triforce proven and admitted to leechinghttps://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/188840-Dispute-william-rosa-SNES-SFC-Contra-III-The-Alien-Wars-NTSC-Points-Player-TriForce-Johnson-Score-9-999-999/page36?fbclid=IwAR31VWZS3i0l4BhEdNGJjyfoS6J3j_gzL9 %20%20TwEqqksZ4gsknZNEiv6JTrpP8 ...

here is a much longer demo video of the arcade retro clock in action. The video shows the ubercorn 16 by 16 and the regular unicorn 16 by 16. they both run the same code on equivalent hardware but one is much bigger than the other.

Back in the early days of video game streams!!

Going through some old digital magazines. Anyone remember these?

Today I would like to focus on OutBreak! which is game #8 on the Arcade Retro Clock. Since this is the most recent game, it is the most advanced in terms of game mechanics.I don't have any professional video game programming experience, so everything you see here was from my own designs. ...

Thank you so much!!! yours will be in the mail as soon as i can get above ground. been working 7x24 for past 20 days!!

Here is another little video, showing the progress of my PacDot ghost hunting algorithm. At normal speed, I did not know what was causing a strange issue, but after putting pacdot at high speed I could see what was going on.To the observer, it would seem like every now and then extra ghost dots ...

@Jace Hall I don't think ANYONE is happy with TGSAP at the moment. Yes we love the results, but the process takes far too long.Here is my idea. Current system as is, with a minor modification:After X days votes are counted and a winner decided. If new votes come in, the clock is reset. ...

This might seem a little silly, but I wrote some code to save the PacDot high score to a file. That way the game can play all day long, and at the end of the day I get to see what the best run was. High Score is displayed after every game. 1162 is only after 2 games. The highest I have seen ...

I finalized the follow/flee algorithm fir Pacdot. It is quite mesmerizing.
