Offering collaboration to help preserve and modernize DIV Games Studio 🎮

[danimcasas]

Hi there! 👋

First of all, thank you for keeping DIV Games Studio alive here on GitHub.
This engine marked the beginning of my programming journey — I started developing games on DIV and ZX Spectrum, and it’s amazing to see this legendary tool still running and inspiring new developers.

I’ve tested DIV on modern systems like Windows 11, and it’s incredible how well it can still work with a bit of adaptation.
As a Full-Stack Developer and AI instructor currently teaching in tech training centers across Spain, I’d love to collaborate with this project in any way possible:

• 💡 Helping with examples, documentation, or modernization ideas.
• 🧩 Testing compatibility on current systems.
• 🎓 Creating educational material to introduce DIV to new students.

DIV shaped an entire generation of programmers in Spain and Latin America — and I believe it still has a lot to teach about logic, design, and creativity.

Thanks again for preserving this piece of software history!
If there’s an open space for contributors, I’d be happy to join and help maintain it. 🙌

Hola 👋

Antes que nada, gracias por mantener DIV Games Studio con vida en GitHub.
Este motor fue el inicio de mi camino como programador — aprendí a desarrollar con DIV y ZX Spectrum, y me emociona ver que sigue funcionando e inspirando a nuevas generaciones.

He probado DIV en sistemas modernos como Windows 11, y es impresionante lo bien que se comporta con pequeñas adaptaciones.
Como desarrollador full-stack y formador en IA, me encantaría colaborar aportando:

• Ejemplos, documentación o ideas de modernización.
• Pruebas de compatibilidad en sistemas actuales.
• Material educativo para introducir DIV a nuevos alumnos.

DIV marcó una época y aún puede seguir enseñando mucho sobre programación, diseño y creatividad.

Gracias de nuevo por mantener viva esta parte de la historia del software.
Si hay posibilidad de colaborar, me encantaría participar. 🙌

Hi Dani!

Very cool. I always love to hear from people who used DIV. I also started on the zx spectrum!

Please, if you want to do anything, you have my full blessing. One of my retirement goals is to create a new DIV with full 3d and backwards compatibility. I do wonder with modern AI tools how cool it would be to have a fine tuned LLM that is trained to write DIV syntax so new users can write games in natural language - that for me would be incredible, especially if it remains cross platform and accessible.

Hi Mike!

That’s fantastic to hear — thank you for your kind words and for keeping this gem alive!
A new DIV with full 3D support and backward compatibility sounds absolutely amazing, and your idea of an AI-assisted LLM trained to generate DIV code is brilliant. I’d love to experiment with that concept — it could be a perfect bridge between retro game development and modern AI tools.

Although I’m quite busy at the moment, I often find myself daydreaming about bringing DIV back to life as a simple and inspiring entry point for new creators — just like it was for me so many years ago.

I’ll send you an email shortly so we can stay in touch.
Meanwhile, I’ll start reviewing the repository and testing some use cases for educational purposes.

Thanks again for your work and for inspiring so many developers over the years — DIV still has a lot of magic left!

Warm regards,
