I've successfully built the recent version of #VolksForth for the #Commodore64 and have created a #d64 #disk #image which also contains all relevant sources as text files (in SEQ format) so they can be loaded and compiled using the new INCLUDE word because VolksForth 3.9.x supports text files and clasic blk storage.
I've also included #vi65 which is a clone of the #vi editor for the C64 (and other #Commodore and #Atari #8bit machines). It comes in versions with 40, 53, 64 and 80 column support. I have provided all of them but recommend the 64 column version for various reasons.
(I'll upload the final image to csdb.dk once I'm happy with it)
@schoedland @dgar The nostalgia… I used to code games in Turbo Pascal, always pushing the memory limits. Thanks for sharing the memories! #TurboPascal #RetroCoding #Nostalgia #GameDev #90sTech #CodingMemories
I also decided to move Analysis in the page dedicated to my old programs. Analysis was a Windows 3.1 program I wrote between 1998-2002 and that could draw mathematical functions. It was mainly written in Visual Basic 3.0, with a DLL written in C that could parse functions: http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.php?argument=retroc/oldp/oldp.inc
If you want to run it on DOSBox, or have a peek to the source code of my fantasy football management program, I put it here: http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.php?argument=retroc/oldp/oldp.inc I used a technique to sort of include inline assembly that was quite elegant and that I learnt from a paper by Francesco Balena in the mid-1990's. #retrocomputing #retrocoding #BASIC #QuickBasic #Fantacalcio #MSDOS
Codebase 64 just disappeared! 😢

It occurred to me that since Buxton Bytes, I've not really said much about what I'm up to as far as #demo stuff goes. Soooooo....
I have a screen in progress, which is more like a bunch of effects all in one screen. Yet again, it's all done in #STOS, but using my newly coded FrankenSTOS extension to produce some nice stuff that (so far) is all running at 50fps as it should!
Three or four months of learning how to code 68K assembly has obviously paid off! 🙃
Was considering releasing it for Nova in June, but not entirely sure I'll complete it for then. It'll be released when I'm fully happy with it, whenever that is!

🌟 Breaking news: Developer discovers AI tools won’t do his job for him! 🚨 After a whirlwind love affair with AI code editors, our hero realized that relying on AI caused a slow-motion brain drain 🤯. Now he’s back to manually fumbling through code like it’s 1999, and recommends everyone join him in his retro parade 🎉.

My FireJam program for the #F256K2, I drive it with a MIDI keyboard and target various sound chips. I found a quick method to bring YMF262 OPL3 instrument definitions of tunes I found in adlib tracker. Big learning curve but this feels like a W

It's alive! After a few years of battling with the #RISC_OS #kernel ... something new and magic is coming up very soon and oh boy if it's exciting! 😉
#riscos is alive and well, worries not!

#RISC_OS 📢 New updates for both the 2 RO AIs, lots of improvements for both! Thanks a lot to all the people helping with this project! It's great to see the community coming together😀 Details on ROOL's forum:

It's been 40 years I waited for this, but I can finally say, using UltimaVM on top of RO makes #RISC_OS actually modern! None of these naugthy tests even makes RISC OS blink an eye (and with UltimaVM task Scheduler not even freeze the desktop while running)! 😍
