#Commodore64 hackers: would you like a challenge? #FujiNet needs a complete 1541 emulation that can run on an #ESP32 (written in C or C++). #retrocomputing

For anyone who can code a simple turn-based network game server:The #FujiNet project needs one example game server:* Game of Poker (start with 5 card stud)* 8 Players max* Connect over HTTPS* GET game status in JSON* POST your move in JSON* Have logic to enter and exit game.* All game logic handled on server, client is just display.* Post a chat msgDoesn't matter the language, #nodejs, #python, whatever. Ping back, if you can do it. #retrogaming #retrocomputing

@GossiTheDog *ahem* *cough* some of us were running WorldWideWeb on our NeXTs for a year and a half, before Mosaic was released. ;)

To my #Commodore friends: does anyone have an extra working #vic20 they can sell me for #FujiNet software development and firmware testing? I am asking to buy, because I will need to hold onto the system for further development and regression testing.

Things #Commodore peripheral designers have to deal with, that no-one else has to deal with #32953240: @idolpx is in the middle of debugging IEC protocol sendByte timings, in order to make DOS wedge @ command work. It's proving to be hell. #Fujinet #Meatloaf. #retrocomputing

PETSCIIterm is an example #C64 #FujiNet terminal program, which uses the fact that the network device asserts the SRQ pin to indicate when network traffic is available, making it possible to use the IEC port for interactive network sessions. #retrocomputing https://youtu.be/vr78jFNVVBw

On April 15, 2023 I gave a talk on the past, present, and future of the #FujiNet WiFi Adapter project; a state of the union speech. For anyone who wants to see a good high-level view of what we've accomplished. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InQn_0nZ3Jo #retrocomputing #atari #commodore #apple2 #ColecoAdam #AtariLynx #retrogaming

Built the #Commodore #VIC20 weather cartridge to show at #VCFSW 2023 from Jun 23rd to the 25th. Special thanks to my wife Svetlana Cherryhomes Kozlova for being my hands; soldering the PCB. It works great, and shows that #FujiNet works everywhere, even on memory constrained systems like the 5K #VIC20.

#Atari8bit #FujiNet users can test the new Game Lobby by:(1) putting ec.tnfs.io into a host slot, and selecting it.(2) selecting and booting lobby.xex from the /atari/ directory.Once in, you can select a 5 card stud game to join. :) #retrocomputing #RETROGAMING

For #Atari8bit #FujiNet users, the Homesoft collection has been updated on TNFS host apps.irata.online, so you can enjoy the latest releases of 2023, such as International Karate RCX! Here's a video to show you how:

I have posted an example #FujiNet server explicitly for two player games, to #GitHub. It is written in C, and is designed to handle exactly two players, and is designed as an example. https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/servers/tree/main/two-players #retrocomputing #retrogaming.

TL:DR #FujiNet needs your help as maintainers.This is a hard post to write, mostly because I am needing to balance being straight to the point, while providing enough context on a very complex subject.FujiNet has grown into a larger project, with an increasing number of platforms being brought up. This project comprises not only the firmware that runs on #ESP32 hardware itself, but also the configuration program, and various application libraries and programs.While I have a hand in all of these things, I can't have my hands in every bit of it, all at once, so I am asking for people in each respective #retrocomputing community to step up; help maintain their respective ports. I will take the time to teach whatever is needed.We need people who can help with: Adding unit testing to both firmware and applications, maintaining CONFIG for each platform (#Atari8bit, #Apple2, #ColecoAdam, #Commodore, #CoCo, etc.), making sure that as we change the code things still work.

#FujiNet #ESP32 #retrocomputing #Atari8bit #Apple2 #ColecoAdam #Commodore #CoCo The HTTP adapter is leaking, so we implemented a fix that would give us some breathing room, allow people to play and use the lobby on Atari, while we find the leak. But we also had to check Apple2, and Adam. Apple2 required a small code change, and Adam needs work on config.But we would never have seen this, if we hadn't pulled out and tested all these systems, and this issue will escalate geometrically as more platforms are brought up. We can't just have people saying, "Are we going to have FujiNet for platform X?"The availability of FujiNet on your favorite platform wholly depends on the eagerness of people who are willing to help not only bring it up, but to keep it running.So if you're interested, drop me a comment, drop me a message, drop me an email, contact us via the website (http://fujinet.online/), whichever you prefer.

#FujiNet #ESP32 #retrocomputing #Atari8bit #Apple2 #ColecoAdam #Commodore #CoCo Our focus is wholly dependent on the engagement from each and every single platform, not just for bring-up, but for ongoing maintenance. Do you want to help? -Thom
