Sure. Am hacking away with C tho. No tricks.

EDIT: There was an ad for it from '88, saying: "Now with Lisp compiler!". Oops.

Re: WIP: Bubble Bobble

MINIPAINT? [...] You should be very cautious with complaining about 'isolated tools' and 'non-availability of (source) code' in your Manifesto if you otherwise are oblivious of prior art. What? %p I can't get my imagery to picture MINIPAINT with a web interface and user accounts. (mod: quote repair...

I have used MP on several occasions to design sprite patterns. Here is an example, including a "how to extract the bitmap data":

Re: WIP: Bubble Bobble

@beamrider: There's some idea I cannot get rid of. As those few sprites seemed to spark some interest, perhaps many would be grateful for a web editor to bring on a complete set of sprites and charsets. But to be honest: the VIC Screen Designer's user interface is far too complicated for anyone to j...

Re: End of the Z80

I used to scribble 6502 code, and even did an assembler whose name I stole from a magazine... a friend did the example 6502 code for it. I was young... It took decades (oh shit is this a recurring theme?) until I finally got to write a game for the VIC, banging my head on the desk till I found out t...

Re: TUNIX

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/SvenMichaelKlose/tunix.git Yes! And I didn't mention VFORTH yet which would also be awesome to have it integrated – just a feeling as I still don't code in FORTH, which seems to be a pity. As for the fear of doing Lisp, some 'playground' example (...

Re: TUNIX

This is very impressive. I hope someone picks up the torch and writes some software for it. It's not only for the VIC (I forgot to mention explicitly). Up to the IBM-PC with 8088/8086 range of computers this could be interesting. Banked memory is a must. Or segmented, in the Intel case. What I woul...

TUNIX

I'm struggling with finding words so: tunix-fake.png Just a fake to spark some motivation. The terminal will have more chars in the end. With the Lisp heap working (most idiotic misplacement of an init line it's been) and some hope of progress therefore, the plan of bringing on a self-hosting C comp...

Re: Small-C running on the VIC – here's how

Project has been merged into https://github.com/SvenMichaelKlose/tunix where it is to be found in 'src/contrib/small-c' to get further dissected into smaller apps. The very good looking embedded database "Bielefeld DB", whose tests pass (always a most rewarding experience in return for not...

Re: Unixoid VIC

I wanna grab TUNIX, Small-C/Bielefeld-DB and INGLE and pile it up to a BSD-style distribution. Somehow the name "INGLE" is getting to me like a missing shot of Vodka deep down where it's needed and stays missing. How about "HilariOS"? If oscar64 turns out to give reasonable resul...
