Idea: create an Apple ][ bot for Mastodon like BBC Micro Bot

Idea: create an Apple ][ bot for Mastodon like BBC Micro Bot

Regrettably, I don’t have the energy to pull this off myself, cancer was a bitch and I have less than half the energy I used fo have, but for anyone interested here are some links that could get you started:

On BBC emulation and BBC Micro Bot:

For creating an Apple ][ bot, go with the 8bitkick/BBCMicroBot, find there it binds to the BBC emulation, write a layer to plug the ct6502/apple2ts in, then find a place to run the contraption.

The reason I suggest using ct6502/apple2ts is that it already has the ability to paste code, and create screenshots. Not yet video, but that might be doable as well.

I think DominicPajak would likely answer questions to get anyone going.

The above links are about running this in an emulated Apple ][ or newer machine, but another way would to run this off actual Apple hardware. There is a Mastodon implementation for that, so here are some more links:
