Yeah, these terminals are something else. They are built like tanks and they just run. Also congrats on fixing up gif320 and developing vt320t. This is how old systems got preserved. I recently learned that a PDP-10 I have a photo of has been transported to a museum and restored to running condition. This is the second good news which made me really happy.

If it's not a problem, can you share the vt320t source code on GitHub, if not you can share it privately and it can stay between us. I'm not in gamedev, even remotely, so the game parts has no utility for me. It's completely up to you. I'd love to read some low level code talking with vintage hardware. You can find my contact information at my homepage, which is on my profile.

On the other hand, our VT320s doesn't do anything fancy these days. We generally use it to talk with our networking devices like switches and routers over RS232 since they can communicate really well with each other. While we have lots of hardware to tend and projects to run, maybe I can hook-up one of the VT320s to something for fun.

Thanks for your lovely comment and spending time for all of these. It's greatly appreciated here.

Oh, also your homepage is great. I liked it a lot.

Here you go, just finished getting it all together. I do plan to add the game stuff here relatively soon - I'm just saving it for a certain demo to be released, but I did include a screenshot, as well as some pictures of vt320t running with real hardware.

> Oh, also your homepage is great. I liked it a lot.

Oh, thank you! I'm probably even going to put a WebGL/whatever Unity exports to these days for web up there when I can so the terminal emulator can be used on there.


Thanks a lot for this, I'll be diving in!

Cheers!
