 kazinsal@araxes> show file jul:/posts/kazinsal/559
I've been doing operating systems design and development as a hobby for about a decade now. Every few years I take what knowledge I've amassed and use that to start over. One of these days I'll have something I'm satisfied with. My current project is more or less inspired by the semantics of the NT kernel (contrasted to what most people in hobby operating systems development do, which is writing a toy unix-like). The prototype user interface is similar in flavour to Cisco IOS (I'm a network engineer 9-5) -- my post layout is actually a mock-up of it! Also I'm thinking of learning Inform7. I fondly remember playing the text adventures in the BSD games package over and over as a kid, so it's about time for me to write a text adventure of my own. ____________________ Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the freeway. kazinsal@araxes> _ |

UESC-7010A > cat post Been trying to write a compiler for the past few months. I got about as far as parsing an AST before my brain started exploding, translating code to IR/assembly is really way harder than I could have ever imagined. Guess I need to start simpler, somehow...?

Julbench3.1 94% full, 55K free, 824K in use My only real pet project is probably a, by now decent-ish, emulator thingy called MasterFudge I started working on ~2 years ago (C# + .NET + SharpDX), that's now theoretically in its 3rd iteration, but I'm working more on the 2nd one again right now. It does Master System, Game Gear, SG-1000 and ColecoVision, with the Sega machines being the most compatible so far. I'm also toying with the idea of trying to add (some terrible, inaccurate form of) Super Nintendo emulation, but I'm not so sure about that yet - NES might be easier to do in the end, despite all the edge cases and mapper crap.

I'm making a little game with Bitsy that's probably going to take a long time to finish. The limitations are kind of fun to work with, but I do wish it had a few more features.
Aside from that, I still have a couple of designs for my art blog in the works, but I pretty much always do. ____________________ layout by Sofi. |

Bitsy looks really cool but you apparently can't move or delete sprites. ____________________ (Lv 242 with 220643496 EXP) |

Julbench3.1 94% full, 55K free, 824K in use Originally posted by Gabu There is MAME, which does emulate a ton of stuff, but also does have these massive amounts of code - I just grabbed a ZIP of the latest source on Github and it's a 135 MB archive, tho granted, that also includes documentation and whatnot. One good thing in my emulator's case is that I'm (so far) only emulating platforms that are very similar to each other and can thus share code pretty easily. They all use the same Z80 CPU emulation code and when something does differ, like the graphics chips, I'm just deriving the modified/extended chip from the original base chip, which helps immensely with minimizing duplicated code and the like. ____________________ cu xdaniel -- Follower of the Church of Madoka -- @xdanieldzd (Twitter) -- xdanieldzd (Twitch) -- stapled tech (YouTube)

Oh, I understand now. Yeah, the things you can make with it are very "static." It's mostly only fit for narrative games. ____________________ layout by Sofi. |

Yeah. Even just having the ability to move or change tiles would make the engine a lot more... usable? Like I can't have a hallway you can only visit after doing X, because there's no way to programatically have X. And by that note, you can have a game where there's a way to avoid any of the narrative (other than the backgrounds and sprites) since you can't be required to actually interact with anything.
Other than the items, I guess..? ____________________ (Lv 242 with 220686680 EXP) |

this stuff, basically
Some highlights/recent-ish stuff: bsnes-plus, a debugging emulator. Some people like it. Also currently the only emulator I'm aware of (including higan) that emulates the Mega Man X2 intro/attract sequence correctly (one of many reasons I am way overdue to make a new official release) and the first of two (besides Snes9x, I think) with Satellaview download/broadcast support (LuigiBlood did most of this part). omgifol, a Python package for editing Doom WADs and most of their contents. I used it to make dmvis, a script which tries to rebuild Doom maps one line at a time in the closest thing to chronological order that it can. Someone made a bot that uses it to visualize random user-made maps. exhal (and inhal) (like breathing, get it?) a set of tools/code for quickly compressing/decompressing stuff in HAL's NES/SNES/GB games. Works quite fast and usually gets better ratios than whatever HAL used originally. Used for my Kirby's Adventure and Dream Course editors. Recently I thought about expanding it into sort of a modular compression toolset as an open source alternative to Lunar Compress and the like. Decomposer, a cross-platform MIDI tracker. Has been on the back burner for a while. I came up with a good interface to expose MIDI input/output devices as Qt objects (to use the signal/slot system for receiving MIDI input and double-buffering a MIDI output stream) but only implemented it for Windows and partially (read: badly) for Linux and then taking a long break. Never implemented any of the actual music sequencing part. ____________________ Photo by Luc Viatour |

UESC-7010A > cat post ~/jul Originally posted by devin Holy crap, you made those? I see both of those used constantly throughout the Doom community, was wondering where they originated.  ____________________ EOF [1] 0:zsh* "lane" 14:31 25-Jul-49 |

Well, Fredrik was the original author of the former, but I somehow stumbled into becoming the official maintainer of it after making a bunch of updates to it over some years (the readme in my repo still says it's a personal fork, but it's also on PyPI and stuff now, so I guess it isn't really one anymore). ____________________ Photo by Luc Viatour |

| It's on the backburner right now due to my life being WAY TOO BUSY, but I want to continue my translation of Utsurun Desu.
I think what I need to do is go back through my notes and re-translate things again using what little more I've picked up on over the last couple of years. ____________________ | 7316 | 12684 | 2908 | 13 |  |
