So far I've still spent most of my #DecemberAdventure making everything cozy and not writing too many lines of code. But I think that is totally in the spirit of the thing (as long as that seems fun to you). https://www.eamoncaddigan.net/december-adventure/2023-02/

@neauoire thank you! So far today I have successfully put character sprites into a ROM and now all's left to be done is to draw those on the screen. Which I *have* done before with @compudanzas's book's guidance!

@neauoire Ok, that was harder than I thought it'd be! https://www.eamoncaddigan.net/december-adventure/2023-07/

@d6 @neauoire well I'm awful grateful for the encouragement I've gotten. I am still a REALLY long way from the program I want to eventually make!

Ok I nerd sniped myself pretty hard there, so I just had to re-implement this so that it didn't use the zero page. Still planning to do a bit more coding and write up a post after work, but here's a little bit of lunchtime #DecemberAdventure https://git.eamoncaddigan.net/december_adventure_2023/commit/0280c7430e35fe1f10cd5b30eeec3d0331ad3778.html

Drawing strings without the zero page - december_adventure_2023 - December Adventure (2023)

This is going to blow your mind but the screen has an auto port which moves the sprite position automatically ;)

@neauoire Your code always looks so much cleaner than mine! 😅

I'm already using .Screen/auto to increment x letter-by-letter, but my implementation needs to store the starting x to handle a "carriage return". Is there a better way?

I'm calling it a day! I think my code's a bit tidier—or at least I'm more likely to understand it when I come back to it—and I sorta tentatively poked at my next to-do. https://www.eamoncaddigan.net/december-adventure/2023-08/

Negative progress on my #DecemberAdventure today. Not only did nothing I try work, when I threw up my hands and checked out yesterday's final commit, THAT suddenly doesn't work now. So I have a whole new mystery to solve, in addition to all of the things I've yet to do. No fun.

Going back to one commit earlier and reintroducing the changes bit by bit resulted in code that exactly matched my last commit (per git-diff) that works. IDEK. But at least I'm back to 0 progress.

FWIW I was feeling dispirited last night, but now I’m looking forward to getting a chance to code later. Something about concatenative languages just pushes my buttons (in a nice way).

like I said, I'd happy to help if you run into questions like that, you don't need to struggle like that if you hit an issue.

@d6 Here's what I wrote about the immediate opcodes, it might help elucidate what they're for a bit ^^

@d6 @neauoire cool, thank you! My reading also brought me to lambdas and I am very stoked to incorporate those (they are so useful in PostScript).
