Due to interest, I have decided to create a thread consisting of projects I've been doing on my own time. This can range from different programming languages to even different environments. Heck, possibly with other tools.
Here are the current projects I have been working on:
ClassicVCom HD:
A C++ project that has started since April 2015. This project came about due to having a thought of what it would be like to have retro-styled gaming (ranging from 1-bit to 4-bit, which now can go to 6-bit colors) @ 1080p. As a matter of fact, you could make something akin to games made in the 80s within a much higher resolution. It currently even has it's own DOS-like environment. IDE I used for this project was Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, but early on was upgraded to 2015 due to binary notation support. It even utilizes SDL 2.0 (at the time of earlier releases, 2.0.3). Many plans include 8-bit Audio with 5.1 support, resolutions that can range from 320x240 (One of the nostalgic MS-DOS Resolutions) to 1920x1080. No plans for a 4K model yet. Virtual hard drive will be about 256MB.
Here is a link to one of the Emscripten-produced releases: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/24250760/Test Releases/ClassicVCom_HD/ClassicVCom_HD.html (Might be slightly outdated though.)
Here are a current list of commands for this test release:
CD - Changes directories. Only one at a time at present. 8 character max.
Clear - Clears the screen.
Dir - Displays the current directory.
Format - Supposed to format the virtual hard drive. Does not work yet.
Mem - Displays the amount of memory available.
Mkdir - Makes a directory inside the current directory.
Rmdir - Removes a directory inside the current directory.
Run - Runs a program. Doesn't work fully yet.
Shutdown - Shuts down the system.
WebGL Support Library
A BYOND project that is basically being designed to enable convenient use of WebGL with DM-based projects. Not much to say on this one at the moment.
I got more to list as I either get back to work on other projects or bring forth some new and interesting projects.
