    Didn't need the click-bait title. I would have read it regardless (and did). I wish there had been a PRG or D64 included for the non-programmers. Fun read!

    Note to readers: the heavily dithered websafe thumbnails lead to full-color photos when clicked.

    Just in time I received my brand new Commodore 64 Ultimate directly before Christmas. What a lovely made piece of retro hardware.

    This is very nice, enjoyment-driven, seasonal hacking. Cool.

    Brought back happy memories of the much simpler, much less impressive falling snowflakes animation, complete with Silent Night soundtrack, that I laboriously wrote in Basic on my Vic-20 one Christmas back in the 80s.

    This is particularly awesome cause I can't imagine anyone thinking of making a fake fireplace with a computer screen in the c64 era.

    i thought this was going to involve capacitor plague. rather a retro dive into coding an 8bit digital fireplace.

      Definitely a clickbait title. I thought it'd be about those infamous Rifa caps.

    That should have been a real CRT monitor to give this picture a true feeling of the 80s!
