best coding hours are the morning hours. starting at, oh, around 9 o'clock after some good coffee and saffies. I could go on and on and on back in the days... just coding the whole darn day and night.
that, ofcourse, are the days I was doin' some project. Like did ya know I coded every muzax episode in just one weekend (the first one including GFX!) yup, them days where darn productive!

and now.. well, u know. a j.o.b., a wife, thinking of kids and all that crap. bleh. wish I was young and had all the time in the word...

My programming skills are poor but I have tried sometimes to do a game with no great success. Normally I make these things at night, if am not sleepy, or by the mornings. Today at 3 a.m. I was making some gfx... a cool BAR-Honda F-1 Car, animation included

You do that one only once in your lifetime, D-Tail

Unless... you get an NMI from something... t00b's cat is very good at that, ask him

yeah i notice that at night/morning i am more productive!

but as were commented here, child/wife work overkill the skills.

hmmmmm...

"overkill the skills" nice name for a DEMO or music track. or better "overkilling the skills".

anyway yesterday i was awake since 2am up to 5:30am (the burst of yawning marked the time to go to bed).

Ah, the Non-Maskable Scratch Interrupt? That's not just my cat though, it's pretty universal...

Is like death, no?

Better:

EI
HALT

Possible interrupt causes:
- Tacting: one brick from the ceiling fall in your stomach;
- Hearing: man, you know what time is it; (Brazillian expression, maybe didn't well know, maybe common in all cultures);
- Knightmare (really): the bats in world nine from the Maze of Galious... Umbrella rules...

Interrupt routine:
IN A,(99H)
AND 80H
RET Z
CALL WHAT_THE_FUCK
CALL OPEN_EYES_FIRST_TRYING
CALL MAIN_ROUTINE

And so on...

Do you mean that you do other things with your life besides MSXing?

No, seriously, I don´t have strict preferences, but I mainly code during the night too... And my girlfriend hates me then!

I fought serveral times with my wife by my programming hours.

One word: coffee

when coding @ night I have her doing the do..gheheh. good for inspiration u know.
anyroad, I always found SATERDAYS to be the best day to be productive... 'aving the TV turned on the MTV and a fresh pack'a safs in reach (and the fridge ofcourse) while codin' seems to be the perfect pair.

I can do better programming on Mondays after 11h pm. It helps to have a bottle of Coke on the table. And it helps to have a good IDE (I use ConTEXT). There is not much secret. You just have to start programming. When you get stuck for more than 10 minutes, go watch some TV, read newspaper or go shopping. The solution for sure will appear.

About dreaming codes, I already dreamt of java codes. And it finished up gaving me the solution to the problem I had to fix. Unfortunately never happened again.

Almost...

int_routine:
    in a,(99h)
    and 80h
    ret z
    ld a,(irritation_level)
    inc a
    ld (irritation_level),a
    dec a
    jp z,what_da_fok
    dec a
    jp z,open_eyes_1st_try
    dec a
    jp z,open_eyes_2nd_try
    :
    xor a
    ld (irritation_level),a
    jp wakeup_routine

Fine this version! More elaborated, but I have no time in the last post (If I have no time, why I post shits then?)
