I used to love playing JetPac, so I made this little tribute that runs on Windows and Mac. Watch 'jet men' fly around and collect treasure right on your desktop. Hope you like it! github.com/deanthecoder/ZXJe… #ZXSpectrum #retro #indiedev

Q: How many 'jet men' can you have? A: 'Yes.'

Watching tiny Jetpac-inspired spacemen wandering around my desktop is now my no. 1 passtime. ZXJetMen is a fun cross-platform #AvaloniaUI project, available in #github. github.com/deanthecoder/ZXJe… #ZXSpectrum #retro #CSharp #indiedev

G33kST is my free cross-platform #AtariST emulator in C#. Built-in cool #CRT effects for maximum nostalgia. 👾 github.com/deanthecoder/G33k… #CSharp #DotNet #AvaloniaUI #Emulation

ReviewG33k just got a command-line path, making it easier to plug into codex prompts and other scripted review flows. Practical code reviews on C#/.NET repos, with support for Bitbucket PRs and local changes. github.com/deanthecoder/Revi… #dotnet #csharp #avaloniaui #codereview

Sharing my GitHub projects was getting repetitive, so I made a small app to help. It scans local repos, pulls README info, finds screenshot candidates, and drafts editable social copy using AI. github.com/deanthecoder/Prom… #CSharp #dotnet #AvaloniaUI #GitHub #OpenAI

I wanted a nostalgic UI option for Avalonia, so I created a theme to replace the default look. DTC.AsciiTheme gives Avalonia controls a retro DOS-style treatment — with #Commodore64 and #ZXSpectrum themes too. github.com/deanthecoder/DTC.… #AvaloniaUI #DotNet #UIDesign

I built ReviewG33k, a lightweight desktop app for fast, practical code reviews. It’s aimed mainly at C#/.NET projects, with some support for generic source files and checks from a Bitbucket PR or local repo. github.com/deanthecoder/Revi… #CSharp #DotNet #CodeReview #GitHub

I made a screensaver where two balls bounce under gravity. Every collision spawns another ball. At first it looks calm. Then chaos, the floor drops out, and the whole thing resets. Very normal use of a terminal. 😎 #RetroComputing #TerminalArt #PhysicsSim #CreativeCoding #CSharp

I built an ant colony simulator in C#. Cool to watch the complex behaviour evolve from a few simple rules. 🐜 Watch here: youtu.be/wGD0uD28COw?si=cbYM… #ArtificialLife #AvaloniaUI #DotNet #IndieDev

My #AvaloniaUI theme now has a #ZXSpectrum progress control! Who wants a boring progress bar when 'data' load bars are clearly better? I think I've out-nerded myself. 🤣 Free download: github.com/deanthecoder/DTC.… #CSharp #indiedev

Made a little walkthrough of DTC.AsciiTheme in action. It’s a retro UI theme for Avalonia with old-school menus, tabs, progress bars, tree views, dialogs, and file pickers, but still built on normal modern controls underneath. github.com/deanthecoder/DTC.… #AvaloniaUI #dotnet #ui

Revisiting my snake #NeuralNetwork implementation. Now much faster to train, and giving higher scores. Scary to think how much time I've spent trying to teach this little guy how to 'survive'. 😄 github.com/deanthecoder/G33k…

Add one line to your #AvaloniaUI markup, and theme your app into a #Commodore64 🤓

Built a retro ASCII-inspired theme for @AvaloniaUI that makes modern desktop apps feel like old #DOS software. It works with normal #Avalonia controls, so the learning curve is low, but the result is gloriously old-school. (1/2) github.com/deanthecoder/DTC.… #dotnet #opensource

I've included a few different styles (including #ZXSpectrum !), and a demo app showing them off. (2/2)

Toying with the idea of a #ZXSpectrum theme for #Avalonia. It'll need a few tweaks, but can be added to an Avalonia app with just one line. 🤔 github.com/deanthecoder/DTC.…

Writing myself an #ASCII theme #Avalonia style! It's fun mixing a #retro look with a hint of modern tweaks. On my #github repo soon! github.com/deanthecoder
