18:58:47 <sixforty> where can I keep track of the way graphical retro is heading?
19:10:32 <crc> http://rx-core.org/dev/retroforth.fossil is the repo with the latest changes
19:10:49 <crc> I've not done much with the graphical stuff lately though; lack of time :(
19:12:37 <sixforty> commited to SDL, or open to alternatives?
19:13:26 <crc> I'm not committed to SDL, it just happens to be the library I had the most experience with
19:15:32 <sixforty> how about graphical as a vocabulary, if it's demonstrated with working code?
19:17:22 <crc> the words there are currently pretty generic in terms of scope (just using the ports to draw basic shapes); they aren't specific to a given backend (they currently work with the javascript canvas as well as the sdl implementation)
19:21:15 <sixforty> I fear more and more I'm gonna have to do an asm ngaro to get what I want. Know if anyone's tried it for 10+?
19:22:44 <crc> I've not done an assembly implementation of ngaro. Personally I have no desire to do an all-assembly version again.
19:22:50 <crc> what do you want?
19:24:06 <sixforty> I'm thinking assembler could be a path to easier platform crossing. Yes, I see the contradiction.
19:24:37 <sixforty> And I understand why you don't want to do retro as asm again.
19:26:04 <crc> I did assembly coding for about 8 years. I'd be happy to do portions in assembly if I needed a higher-performance vm, but the x86 ISA annoys me too much for it to be enjoyable these days
19:27:15 <sixforty> The "reference implementation" should remain in C. I see that. Just like to put retro where there's no C compiler.
19:29:15 <crc> ok, that makes sense. I'd probably do Ngaro in assembly if I ever decided to try running retro on raw hardware again.
