Open Apple #72 (June 2017) – Peter Neubauer, KansasFest, Last Jedi




Open Apple show

Summary: This month on Open Apple, we sit down with KansasFest committee member and lifelong Apple II user Peter Neubauer. We talk lots about the upcoming KansasFest, of course, but also Peter’s own experiences with the machine. He has a passion for Logo, and a special place in his heart reserved for the Apple IIc Plus. I think many of us can relate to that.<br> We talk KansasFest, KansasFest, and more KansasFest. Then we talk about KansasFest, followed conversation about a fruit-based retrocomputing conference that takes place in Missouri every July.<br> We have plenty of regular news to catch up on as well, so stay tuned for updates from 6502 Workshop, NinjaForce, and more. We have graphics talk, Bluetooth talk, and exciting new accelerators from the mad Bulgarian.<br> It’s already too late to register for KansasFest, but if you’re going to be there, make sure to say hi! We love to meet our listeners.<br> More information on everything discussed in this episode, after the jump.<br> <br>  <br> <br> * <a href="http://kansasfest.org" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">KansasFest</a> – It’s that time of year!<br> * <a href="http://www.brutaldeluxe.fr" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">BrutalDeluxe</a> – This year’s keynote speakers, all the way from France!<br> * <a href="http://www.quartdepomme.fr/quartdepomme/PDF___Other_documents.html" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Hi-Res Graphics and Animation In Assembly Language</a> – Finally scanned!<br> * <a href="http://www.6502workshop.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">6502 Workshop Expanding</a> – Their empire building continues.<br> * <a href="http://wadememoir.a2hq.com/1989/questor2/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Wade Clarke Plays His Own</a> – Does your own work hold up 30 years later?<br> * <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjm2aWPsIzVAhXjgVQKHUlCAeUQtwIIKjAA&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DFV4Fd___g90&amp;usg=AFQjCNF_c3EgOQ0MlPd97rwX3EoBOCOHgQ" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">NinjaForce at Revision</a> – The IIgs is back in the limelight of the demo scene.<br> * <a href="http://www.ninjaforce.com/html/products.html#Kernkompetenz" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">NinjaForce Demo</a> – Here’s the actual disk image, with some bug fixes.<br> * <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/mepj73ocirjm4kr/LORES%20Assembly.txt?dl=0" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Lo-Res Graphics in Assembly</a> – Tom Porter shows how it’s done.<br> * <a href="http://www.callapple.org/documentation/books/synergistic-software-the-early-games-released-by-a-p-p-l-e/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">New books from Call A.P.P.L.E</a> – Synergistic <a href="http://www.callapple.org/documentation/books/robert-clardys-cyber-jack-released-by-a-p-p-l-e/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">and more.</a><br> * <a href="http://lukazi.blogspot.com/2017/06/bluetooth-game-port-receiver.html" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Alex Lukazi explores Bluetooth</a> – The Apple II dongle heard round the world.<br> * <a href="http://lastrationalman.blogspot.ca/2017/04/apple-ii-double-hi-res-from-ground-up.html" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Battlestations teaches DHGR</a>–  A great tutorial on the most difficult graphics mode.<br> * <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/27/watch-this-star-wars-the-last-jedi-trailer-made-entirely-on-a-1984-apple-iic/" data-wpel-link="external"></a>
