09:37:07 <Mat2> Hi !
09:47:24 <tangentstorm> hey mat2 :)
09:47:37 <Mat2> hi tangentstorm !
09:47:49 <Mat2> what is new ?
09:49:03 <tangentstorm> currently writing a little game in pascal that i hope to compile down to retro
09:50:54 <Mat2> nice, what category - jump&run, action shooter or arcade style for example ?
09:51:32 <tangentstorm> it's sort of a cross between joust and defender
09:51:38 <Mat2> I finish my pascal vm version
09:51:47 <tangentstorm> https://github.com/tangentstorm/cardinalrule
09:52:01 <tangentstorm> oh yeah? congrats! :)
09:52:13 * tangentstorm checks out the repo
09:52:55 <Mat2> it will be uploaded tomorrow
09:53:34 <tangentstorm> oh
09:53:50 <tangentstorm> you don't use git while you're developing?
09:54:24 <Mat2> no, I only use git for syncing my assembla repros
09:56:56 <tangentstorm> i wondered about that :)
10:00:52 <Mat2> way your emulator session successful ?
10:03:36 <Mat2> ^was
10:05:10 <tangentstorm> oh yeah. i got it to run forth and i played around with it, but i didn't attempt to load in all that old code yet
10:08:14 <Mat2> oh
10:08:56 <Mat2> volksforth will also running under dosbox if you pefer an MS-DOS envirioment
10:09:34 <Mat2> or under dosbox in yaze (an Z80 CP/M emulator) under linux or dosbox :D
10:11:16 <tangentstorm> i may try it out later. for now, i'm writing my compiler in pascal... i would like to come back and bootstrap it directly from ngaro assembly but i'll do that later on
10:16:02 <Mat2> so both we choosing similar approaches. I'm starting writing retro in pascal, using my vm for code generation
10:25:15 <Mat2> by the way, if you want to testing assembler routines, fdbg is a good tool for that 
10:35:12 <tangentstorm> i haven't written assembly in many many years. I wouldn't know where to start today :)
10:37:54 <Mat2> take a look at my code tomorrow
10:38:51 <Mat2> and this os: http://www.returninfinity.com/baremetal.html
11:08:52 <tangentstorm> will do :)
11:10:03 <tangentstorm> that looks cool. i'd seen mikeos before
11:11:37 <Mat2> yes, it is the 64-bit multicore variant
11:14:30 <Mat2> a good base to host retro on (and modify an USB stick for booting from anywhere)
11:15:44 <Mat2> I hope there get finish the promised TCP stack soon :D

12:11:01 <erider> hi all 
12:11:07 <Mat2> hi erider !
12:11:14 <erider> hey Mat2 
12:11:20 <erider> what's new 
12:11:50 <Mat2> recoding retro in pascal inclusive new vm code processing
12:12:08 <Mat2> it's fun
12:12:25 <erider> hmm
12:14:31 <Mat2> otherwise hacking on an assembler version
12:18:02 <Mat2> and get rid of operating systems
12:21:01 <Mat2> what's new with you ?
12:26:00 <erider> nothing much just moved to linux completely 
12:26:56 * erider is tried of the windows and its (bloat)
12:27:10 <Mat2> I can understand that
12:28:03 <Mat2> otherwise most Linux distributions are not really less bloated these days
12:28:50 <erider> you can add on the fat as you go a la cart :-) 
12:29:39 <Mat2> *lol*
12:31:49 <Mat2> I think the unix way is compiling all you need from source and create your own distribution from scratch
12:32:10 <Mat2> this way you get only what you desire :-)
12:33:23 <erider> you can strip out what you don't want. its not like windows 
12:34:43 <Mat2> that's true
12:34:48 <Mat2> to some extend
12:35:50 <erider> I just happy that my processor is doing things I want it to do :-) 
12:37:08 <Mat2> :)
12:37:14 <Mat2> nice, one guy on comp.lang.forth relate himself to god (I'm not sure which god he really means by the way) *g*
12:38:31 <erider> huh? 
12:38:38 <erider> god 
12:40:09 <Mat2> extremely self-confident statement
12:40:42 <Mat2> will probably be a cultural phenomenon
12:41:48 <erider> ok 
12:42:05 <erider> I hope he was extremely good at something 
12:42:30 <Mat2> I dont think so
12:43:52 <erider> interesting 
12:47:03 <Mat2> anyhow, I had searched for the C version of eForth but sadly the code don't seem to be published :(
12:48:01 <erider> hmm I remember see it somewhere 
12:49:51 <erider> http://www.offete.com/eforth1.html
12:51:55 <Mat2> thanks for the link but this is not his new developed C based version
12:53:33 <Mat2> I know from forth day slices, that his code have some similarities with my current vm design so my idea was to include it for benchmarking
12:54:05 <erider> http://www.calcentral.com/~forth/forth/
12:54:21 <erider>  I will look around 
12:55:58 <Mat2> thanks
13:27:29 <erider> Mat2: is the C code recent meaning this year? 
13:28:00 <Mat2> no, I think it was introduced somewhere 4 years ago
13:29:10 <erider> ah ok
