[Famicom Party] A brief update

Hello!

It’s been a while since I posted any updates, so I wanted to send a quick note on what I’ve been up to.

• I migrated all of the Famicom Party sites to Zola, a Rust-based static site generator. This includes all of the “Book” pages (now available at https://famicom.party/book instead of the book. subdomain) and the newly-updated Blog, which has a new post up that goes into more detail on Zola and some of my other current projects.
• I’ll be giving a talk at the Strange Loop conference in St. Louis, Missouri, at the beginning of October. The talk, “Game Development in Eight Bits”, is a look at techniques used in professionally-developed NES games like Tetris, Super Mario Bros., Final Fantasy, and more.
• Work continues on Chapter 14, Sprite Movement.

Thanks as always for reading. Until next time…
