Projects

Some free-time and open source programming projects i’ve got my hands on. There were some old things from MS-DOS/ZX Spectrum/Atari times, but I lost them. Some of the projects are done with other members of nesnausk! group. I keep a bunch of smaller recent projects on github.

Tools and libraries
