Hope you are well today. 12:04:47 Much colorforth work today. 12:05:03 Spent some time yesterday learing about vga/vesa... 12:05:04 OH oH 12:06:03 crc a guy in chat gave me a link to a most remarkable online library collection of books pertaining to many subjects and especially computing and tech. let me get it for you. 12:07:19 http://69.180.166.50/users/superkuh/Library/ 12:11:26 that's an impressive number of ebooks 12:11:45 * crc is nearly done with toka-1.2 12:11:54 excellent 12:12:22 I went through the source and fixed stack comments and function descriptions yesterday. 12:12:45 * Raystm2 couldn't get my old booting colorforths to boot, frustrated for a day. I finally had a thought to unplug a USB mouse WALLA colors. 12:12:46 I still want to overhaul the testing framework. The current one is kind of ugly. 12:14:09 I see. I'm glad it's there. I'm learning that it is a great way to code. Lisp uses something like it I think called contract programming which is a little more detailed then just a test but a test is at the heart of the contract 12:38:33 I try to maintain a set of tests that checks the most common words in toka and the library 12:38:59 I've found and fixed plenty of bugs that I otherwise would have missed 13:58:16 Raystm2, would it be possible to do a mode 13h colorforth? 14:43:05 --- join: virl (n=virl@chello062178085149.1.12.vie.surfer.at) joined #retro 14:44:24 crc I don't have that answer just yet. 14:44:37 * Raystm2 should look into that. 14:45:41 mode 13h will work on anything vga or higher :) 14:46:00 low res, 256 colors, but very simple to program for (linear framebuffer, one byte per pixel) 14:46:15 neat! 14:47:24 res is only 320x200, but still; for a baseline it should simplify things quite a bit 14:48:25 (and once done, you can easily tweak it to use any 256 color linear vesa mode if you have a way to detect the northbridge framebuffer address...) 14:49:18 Northbridge is accessible. 14:51:46 good 14:52:07 then if you do 320x200, it's an easy step to 640x480, 800x600, etc 15:04:17 Because they all belong to the same ratio in the mode. I get it. 15:04:40 * Raystm2 would love to get up to 32 bit for the transparensies. 15:18:00 --- join: crc_ (n=crc@70.110.169.71) joined #retro 15:18:16 --- quit: crc (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) 15:19:24 --- nick: crc_ -> crc 15:19:33 --- mode: ChanServ set +o crc 15:20:10 * crc continues to work on tutorial material for toka 15:20:21 wb :) 15:20:25 thanks 15:20:48 I'm also starting to consider how I should proceed on Retro 10... 15:20:59 any input will be appreciated 15:21:03 no kidding? 15:21:04 cool 15:21:25 * Raystm2 is not having the best day emotionally.
