Starting up my #decemberadventure thread here. Day 1: playing w/ unxtal getting input and making visuals. Today I got a line drawing longer w/ each STDIN from Orca, which is a lot further than I expected on day 1, but I'll take it. Also logging here: https://tendigits.space/site/december_adventure_2023.html
Day 2 had to be skipped, and Day 3 is not proving fruitful (yet), but I'm aiming to translate an incoming byte into a specific action (turn the sprite purple). Not sure what I'm missing, but I'll keep at it.
Day 3 sorted! I've switched from drawing a line to displaying a sprite. I've added logic to draw either a white square sprite or a purple one depended on if the ASCII hex for "A" is sent, or "B." The bigger accomplishment, in my mind, is that I got stuck and then later got unstuck. I *think* I was just missing a BRK, but regardless, it was a good learning day.
Day 8: Couldn't get Porporo running here for some reason, but was able to use it's log.rom to see output. Spent a little time trying to understand how the random functions turn date/time into a random value, but realized that this might be a good time to take a step back and revisit tutorials so I get a handle on program code flow better. So I'll do that in the coming days.
@neauoire I just retried in order to report the error I was seeing and realized I can get it to open with `make run` from repo root like the README says. Before I was just trying to run ./bin/porporo the way I do for uxnasm. That said, I'm a little unclear how to get a rom running in it. And it's doing odd (but pretty) things when I try the draw and move modes. Please tell me to buzz off if this type of user testing isn't helpful!
@neauoire I experienced the same issue. It only worked after noodling around a bit in the code and removing the `if` statement before `drawclear` in the screenshot. My C skills are too rusty to figure out a proper fix.
@v3rse ah yeah that's not an error, I didn't put a wallpaper in the repo. I'll make it so wallpaper.tal fills the screen even if there isn't a wallpaper set. Don't remove the if line ^^;

in reply to Tendigits • • •little trick: You don't need to ,&label JCN, you can just do ?&label. Same for ,&label JMP, you can do !&label. Saves a bit of time đ
What you'll want to do next is capture the events during on-console, and then animate the result during on-frame đ
