A little more progress on the Uxn core for Analogue Pocket! Some of the test ROMs are looking a little closer to how they are supposed to 😀 I started to fix some issues with how I was implementing the multiple sprite drawing, but I think I still have some more work to do with blending.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately - progress has been slow because I was really sick for a while. Feeling much better now!

#AnaloguePocket #uxn #varvara

Pushed a little fix to uxnasm and drifblim that corrects an issue with appending methods to previously declared uxntal objects.

#uxn

#Konilo sounds a lot like #uxn, but with 32 bit words instead of 12 bit words.

Sadly I am doing 16 bit forth coputers on an FPGA.

I'm now on day 4 of the Compudanzas tutorial and starting to veer off into unexplored territory to write my little experiments. Thanks a lot to @neauoire and the folks in the #uxn IRC channel for all the help and encouragement!

Here is a little screensaver like thingie I made as part of Day 4.

A few more ROMs are working on the Analogue Pocket Uxn core, and input is hooked up now! I have so much more to do, so a lot of things still don’t work, but a little more progress is always exciting to see! 😀

Next, I’ll try to implement the auto-advancing sprite drawing (where a single instruction could draw as many as 16 sprites).

It's uxn38, running the timer ROM from its example programs! I made a custom rootfs with buildroot and an old kernel on an SD card. I wanna make something out of this cute little puter and #uxn seems to be a good fit!

Spent a bit of time today to make the html5 experience of the #uxn emulator somewhat less awful.

There's a clearly indicated zoom toggle button, a way to share the rom via url encode, and they don't vanish offscreen anymore when the window is too high.

A* pathfinding implemented in Bur, compiled to a #uxn ROM.

I've added copies of source files for most #uxn tools, and other software, here:
http://wiki.xxiivv.com/etc/

These will be automatically updated as I work on them in their individual repositories, but mirrored there for reliability. They are also embedded in their wiki pages, for example:

Well, at least the memory protection feature is worth using. kind of

Basically, sending a magic byte to .System/debug triggers special behaviour, marking memory as readonly, escalating privs to write to readonly memory, or printing out a pretty backtrace.

Not backwards compatible unfortunately, so I added a metadata flag to allow for selective compilation depending on whether the code is being run in a generic #uxn emulator or Bur's builtin one.

I'm finally getting back into #uxn/#varvara, and have run into some trouble following the Compudanzas tutorial - I can build any given .tal file once, but after doing so once if I do so again I get

hello.tal line 0x0000: Memory overwrite: LIT.

in the terminal output from launcher.rom and the .tal file is corrupted - anyone have pointers on where to look to start debugging this? I don't have a lot of C skill at this point, so haven't dug much into the uxnasm source yet.

Lovely as always!

It would be fun to squash some of these down into .uf1 files. https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/ufx_format.html #uxn

For my #DecemberAdventure, I've optimized uxnfloppy so that it runs at 60 fps most of the time at 640x480! Here is a video of bunnymark.tal running on the laptop. It can draw around 2000 sprites before it goes below 60 fps!

Reading @neauoire's posts about character input, got me wondering if it is possible to do character recognition with neural networks inside UXN.

After a few hours of work, the answer is: Yeah, kind of (?)

As a proof of concept I implemented a 3 layer neural network trained on MNIST.
Since UXN has limited memory and no floating point operations, I decided to use a binary neural network: Each weight & activation is quantized to a single bit.

Lurking around the cool corners of Fedi, I recently learned about #DecemberAdventure. https://eli.li/december-adventure

I'm gonna skip Advent of Code this year and instead commit to spending at least a few minutes every day next month working on my now-abandoned Morse code game for #uxn.

Oatmeal - December Adventure

The Advent of Code is cool, but a lot, and not everyone’s jam. The December Adventure is low key. The goal is to write a little bit of code every
