From the author of Galencia a C64 game
"I am proud to announce that I have secured a development loan, allowing me to work full time as a #C64 programmer on the upcoming game Khaos Sphere! This is a dream that I would have thought to be impossible in 2018, thanks to my new partners, this is now a reality."

A visual builder would also help speed up things

Here's a device driver I started for OS4, cross compiling. Its on hold until I can find time and some appropriate hardware to test but has the outer skeleton in place:

While one can't expect much money, time is also a concern. While we surely waste time by doing useless things, being able to keep being motivated and stay focused is a difficult thing for me. I can work hours tinkering with projects then I got bored or loose my motivation and never finish what I started. I also blame Netflix for that.
There is too easy to go distractions. I suppose that being able to be less addicted and learn how to focus on a task and being motivated could help many of us.

I heard a good advice, ironically on Reddit which is a good way to waste time

Try to work on the project every day, even a little bit. 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 2 lines of code: everything counts.

@Mr_Capehill

Since becoming a parent I can honestly say, it's high on impossible to get even 5 mins to work on any personal projects. If it wasn't for lunch breaks at work I'd never write a line. But even with a cross compiler, actually testing anything beyond that it compiles is a lost cause.

+1 (kind of)

When teh kids are rather new born free time is - well - just not there. But when growing a bit older, say 3 years or so, at least the evenings get freed again. Thing is though: you must put all your private life things into the evening, having time for the wife, friend, sports, watching a bit of stupid tv or #? . Writing some code is just one thing. I would say I spend about 1-2 evenings a month on programming. And hence "only" Hollywood - as this is the easiest way of getting some things done within limited time.

@Mr_Capehill

That IS a good advise. I think there always will be 5 minutes available if you really want it. And even if 5 mins will not provide much daily code, it will keep the project alive. And then some days you might have a bit more time to spend and more lines could be written.

@Hans

It needs it to run Haskell (GHC) and have a 64-bit operating system that can provide 8GB of memory to a process. There may be other issues, but those two are for sure reasons it cannot happen.

Yeah, and indeed, it isn't that much asked if you just try to have some self-discipline in mind and code the 5-15 mins a day instead of doing some more brainless web surfing on gossip pages or Amiga rant threads :)

The most difficult thing is to switch from the browser to the editor, but once you do that, you notice that the code starts to flow and the time is much better spent than doing those "I'll just click around few clickbaits or check new messages, even though I'm already bored and have already checked everything interesting".

A good (and busy) place (maybe IRC, maybe fora, but PLEASE NOT FACEHUG or TWATTER) to join, ask noob questions, not getting beaten for asking noob questions, get help with noob problems, not getting beaten for asking for help with noob problems and sharing example code.

Thank you

As I'm not a coder I'm not very familiar with the site myself, but have you visited OS4 Coding?

There seems to be some recent activity and some questions might spark new discussions.

OS4 Coding is always helpful I've never seen anyone shutdown for being noob. You can also post on aw,net amigans.net or the hyperion forum SDK section.

How busy it is depends on how many have questions at anyone time. Traffic creates traffic in this context.

I somehow miss this one ! thats a nice one, since I am stuck with the onboard IDE and everything is slow on AOS4 on my classic because of that (and I dont want to buy a FastATA, I already have enough cards in my Zorro4 tower).

If you want I can test it, I have both AOS4.0 and 4.1 and a 603/060+ with BVPPC.

@lionstorm

There isn't much to test as all it does right now is open and create a command processor thread. It's a long way from being an actual functional driver.
