Apple ][ On Voxels

Source: https://paleotronic.com/software/microm8/

April and Melody Ayres-Griffiths from paleotronic bring the Lets-build-an-Apple-II-emulator idea a number of steps further.

Their product microm8 is open source, built with go and (brace for impact) adds a voxel engine to the video output. That actually means, you can change your viewport, and get a still-flat, but 3-dimensional pixel representation on your screen.

A whole new experience and an awesome achievement!

What makes this emulator even better, is, that you can write programs, that interact with the emulated application at runtime. It comes with Applesoft and Integer BASIC and gives the programmer access to 3D video modes. 

Deep respect to the two creators, who also publish lots of cool retrocomputing content on a regular basis.
