Oh very cool, I come from developing on some of those platform you mention so there is a lot of nostalgia.

Glad you like it! I started my programming career using BASIC on an 8-bit machine (the MSX), so for me there's also a lot of nostalgia in developing this project and that's my main inspiration

I had a Spectravideo 328. Eventually also. ZX Spectrum. Was all z80a assembly or gwbasic on spectravideo.

Good memories.

Great project, very ambitious, well documented and really makes you want to dive in !

Developer( 1)

Thanks! Although I'm sure it lacks proper documentation related to the syntax of a few specific commands, I'll try to update the docs with more detailed info soon

Oh, this is insane!
I can imagine, how scope of work you put in - I trying to make something like this for online...
You proof me, that anything can be made.

Thanks!
I've also tried making this same project in Javascript so it could work on the web, but performance was too poor and the browser environment is too restrictive for what I wanted to achieve so I just gave up lol... most likely someone with better skills at web development could do it though

Holy hell, this thing is awesome! You have officially blown my mind. How did you go about building it? I wouldn’t even know where to start.

Thanks!
I have published the source code on GitHub so if you want to see how it was made, just search for PTM in my GitHub repositories.
