@regenerat sounds chill.
@darkghost awesome, how and where did you manage that? That's some serious retro computing :)

@darkghost -- don't tell me you have a real PDP-12 with a vector display!
👻 darkghost · 2025-09-20 at 21:36:
@drh3xx @stack I do not own it. I went to a museum. And they let me touch it! Sitting at that machine really makes you feel like a computer user.
I also was able to use a MITS Altair 8800 and loaded BASIC. I wrote a hello world via teletype.
There were many other systems you can touch and use. Pretty cool place!

@darkghost that sounds like a great museum. I hope they can keep the PDP-12 and the other exhibits in good working order for many years to come.

@stack that's good to hear; it's pretty rare I don't play your others daily.

I pretty much finished writing my gemini game Eleven (a 2048 clone). Preview is here:

@stack thanks, had a look when you first announced it. I sucked at it but it's nice to have some different types of games on the protocol.
