That is pretty amazing! I managed to get four emulator instances running CP/M inside of Unreal Engine. Could have added more but I'd have needed to build a bigger spaceship.
Is your project inspired by 0x10c? The graphics look amazing. I ended up using Irrlicht which .. does not look amazing.. but it has support for dynamically loading arbitrary 3D models which was more important to me for now since I am focused on Lua scripting for it.
I added a physics engine and started working on a demo with a jet/ship thing controlled with a C64 assembler program but it had a lot of work left and I will have to go back to it after I get more basic stuff going.
Yes partially inspired by 0x10c, I used to post my updates on that subreddit a year or two back. Thank you for the compliment.
I integrated color VT100/ANSI support into the terminal emulator and had basic TCP/IP network working with a simple telnet+zmodem client as well. So you could log into BBS's on the Internet and download files to the CP/M systems:
Mine was really a prototype, since then I've been working on a 68000 based emulator and an OS for it which I might integrate back into UE4 day. The other issue I ran into was how to go about simulating the spaceflight part of it. Somebody gave me a pointer about that though earlier today so I might have to get back into it.
That's brilliant! I could recognize Abu Simbel Profanation, and maybe Elite? My first steps learning programming were Basic and then Z80 assembly language on a ZX Spectrum...
Originally VR was the whole idea, but for now I am focused on finishing up the Windows desktop alpha version and getting some kind of interest from other programmers or users. Going to do another release within a few weeks.
If I can see any evidence of maybe 1-5 people out of the billions on the planet playing around with it, that may be enough encouragement to get into the VR stuff. So far there is no certain evidence that anyone other than my brother launched the program.
OK don't put too much time into it if you have problems. The version on the website is ancient and may be a bit crap. New one coming within a week or two.
