Hi, I'm m64.

I love pixels. Started pushing them around on a C64 in assembly. Never stopped loving the low level. Now I write systems code in Zig — low-level networking, emulators, terminal graphics, the occasional game. When not coding, I'm soldering ESP32s or making music on Game Boys.

Systems programmer in Vienna. C64 assembly → Intel assembly → C/C++ → Zig. I build unusual systems at the intersection of low-level engineering and creative computing.

Most of what I make lives in the terminal — and a lot of it runs on movy, an engine that renders glowing neon at 60fps in a text terminal.

movy
Terminal pixel-graphics engine for 60fps neon animations and games (Zig). The foundation everything else runs on.
v0.3.0 #zig #engine
movycat
Full-motion video player for the terminal, in true RGB. Real-time decode → sync → display.

zigreSID
Authentic MOS 6581/8580 SID emulation in Zig — play real C64 .sid music, render WAV, mix SFX.
v0.5.0 #sid #c64
zig64
A cycle-accurate Commodore 64 MOS 6510 CPU core in Zig. As close to the metal as it gets.
v0.5.0 #c64 #6510
1ST-SHOT
A terminal bullet-hell and the first movy game — 24-bit sprites, 71 FPS, authentic C64 SID music.

i/o

Electronics background — I like to play around with ESP32, STM32, and similar. Bridging circuits, code, sound, and pixels. The 64 is the Commodore 64: where the love of pixels and the low level started, and never left.
