Codeaholics Dec Meetup

Talk#1: Bad Code Can Make Great Games Too!
Speaker: Johnson S.

Learn why terrible programming skills shouldn't stop you from making games and how even some of the greatest games are held together by hope and duck tape.

Talk#2: RetroJIT: 6502 Lisp
Speaker: Jonas S Karlsson HK/BKK

In 1975, the first affordable CPU 6502 started the home computer revolution. Today, 40 years later - new impressive games are released - a renaissance enabled by new efficient cross-compilers like cc65, vbcc, kickc. We implement the Lisp-language, on an 1MHz 6502 Oric Atmos - the most beautiful home computer ever created! Experiments show space-time tradeoffs using a) interpretation b). compile/run bytecode c) generate machine code *on the machine* that sometimes is faster than the C-compiler! We'll combine it in Just-In-Time compilation.

We will need to submit the attendees list for the venue access. So please ensure your meetup name is correct and also provide the names of your guests if you invite any.
