#DecemberAdventure (ides of march edition) day 5

spent some more time tinkering with #uxn. got nerd-sniped by the (integer) `sqrt` routine defined in the math library (wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxntal_li…). looks like it's a clever iterative application of the formula for the sum 1+..+n.

according to wikipedia there's plenty of ways to compute square roots. i suppose when it comes to a uxn implementation it's a matter of optimizing for need, time, and space

also! more small-brush #shodo #calligraphy practice. i really should start learning more interesting kanji (maybe next time i'll try to transcribe some sentences from actual text!)

#uxn

Starting more seriously on the interface now, I think I got everything down where I want it. Through all my years of programming in #Uxn, I've managed somehow to never learn much about emulating larger numbers and just lived within the boundaries of 16-bits, but I do skirt pretty close to the boundary sometimes. For example, if I want a little progress bar 0x32 pixels wide, to display a value between 0 and 0x15, I have to do a little bit of finessing to have enough resolution in a short to emulate what in other languages you'd use decimal points for.

Despite its lackluster expression, intuitively you feel the angel has a preference, but you don't know what it is.

You're not sure who's side the monochrome divinity is on, but you hope it is the one you're on.

With the help of @tty and @d6, we've found a non-intrusive way of adding metadata to #uxn roms, so external programs can see some additional details about the program and also display an icon.

The specs is here: wiki.xxiivv.com/site/metadata.…

A stand-alone program to display metadata: git.sr.ht/~rabbits/uxn/tree/ma…
