My first Apple-anything was my Macintosh Performa
5200.
I got it when I was 12 (if I recall correctly) and I spent my early teenage years coding in Pascal and then C.
I was active in the mac demoscene as noglin.
I am taking that up again and I'm making a demo for the 5200 and I'm rather serious about it, I want to push the boundaries this time. I'm aiming to release it early August 2024.
I've been working as a software engineer most of my life, last year I decided to pursue a hobby of mine more seriously and I'm now making games, working hard for my first launch (and I'm also doing some freelancing as well).
