Understanding enums in #uxntal. Or, the recurring "why is the device page overlapping the zero-page" question.

Uxn - Virtual Computer

I haven’t done much with uxn, but I would guess that it is how the command interprets the labels. The labels are just numbers with nice names, so how a command interprets the numbers is up to it.

nice. yeah I made great use of enums in taro to use the same functions on two different listbox datastructures so I could just pass the listbox base zeropage address in the stack, stash it, and use my %LB_PROP { #xx ADD } macros to make all the property access readable as STHkr LB_PROP

@nilix I was looking at the taro code earlier, I was wondering if you thought about running uxnlin on it, I saw a lot of little optimisation that would make it smaller and faster, if that's something that interests you.

Def interested in making it faster since I run it off a dinky Atom processor while I'm at work lol; thanks, I'll definitely give that a shot tonight!

@nilix you should use as few macros as possible, for example. All the message types should be a single enum.

do single-byte macros like that actually have a performance impact? :o

they don't make slower code, just slower assembly.

@flbr The web assembler is pretty neat, you should have a look at how I did it 😀 The assembly is done entirely in uxn space, so I didn't have to write an assembler in js, it uses the same assembler rom that I use to assemble every other project.
