Colin McMillen<p>In this blog post is a teaser video of the first ever two-player Shufflepuck game. (It's in french because it's been muuuuch too long since I posted in french on my blog)</p><p><a href="https://www.colino.net/wordpress/archives/2025/05/18/shufflepuck-a-deux-joueurs/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">colino.net/wordpress/archives/</span><span class="invisible">2025/05/18/shufflepuck-a-deux-joueurs/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/AppleII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleII</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/Shufflepuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Shufflepuck</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GameDev</span></a></p>

Colin McMillen<p>Biff is done. It's basically Eneg but harder. I've started on DC3, the robot bartender, and will finish tomorrow because he's supposed to be configurable and making text UIs in assembly is tedious! </p><p><a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GameDev</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/Apple2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Apple2</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/shufflepuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shufflepuck</span></a></p>
