Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

On CMM2, I am a late adopter. Few weeks ago received my unit, I actually ordered it to be able to compete next year in the competition. Last weekend spend some time with the welcome tape and some games on CMM2.

First of all:
I take my hat of for the thwill: the welcome tape is a very nice initiative. Also thwill's "game of life" is an example for newcomers (and old chaps like me) how to bring structure in a program.

The content of the welcome tape was well balanced and examplatory for many fields of interest.

I played some games (i.e. Chemichaos, Wolfenstein) and I am impressed what is possible with this single chip basic computer. And the language has so many commands and options, it will take time to master them.

I want to express my deep respect to all those who made this possible. Especially to Peter for his never-ending energy to improve to perfection.

Thank you all

I guess we're obligated now @bigmik

Thank you.

For the record the "Game of Life" implementation on "The Welcome Tape" was initially written by @Turbo46 before @TassyJim and I had a good mess about with it:
