Did he stutter? SBK2 is #1 and it a'int close.

You good bro?

I'm a 6502 guy myself, but the Z80 instruction set is also easily holdable in one's memory.

As others said, a 4MHz Z80 is clearly capable of outperforming a 1MHz 6502 as is evidenced by the many ZX Spectrum demos that show off 3D/plotting effects.

Also, sites like Pixeljoint used to (or still do? I haven't really kept up) collaborations. This would be a mammoth one, but the result would be much more impressive. This is a cool concept, but it's definitely not pixel art by any definition.

Early on in my programming life, I had very limited access to a computer. I did much of my coding in my head while walking around. In some cases, I'd literally write code in my head and dump it out when I had computer access, but abstract and creative problem solving were especially natural in a detached setting. I truly believe this time was more valuable than the time at the keyboard.

If anything, I want to do more of that: get away from the device to let my mind wander. "Doom" coding sounds apt.
