RE: https://oldbytes.space/@Kroc/116546757563625488
No seriously, someone please make this: A USB thumb stick that appears to the computer as a serial port. You use the terminal to connect to it and voila! You have a private coding / writing space that works on any device with a USB and a terminal, but the host machine has no access to the data. Your code runs on a microcontroller and is not tied to the constant churn of mainstream OSes, and yes, that includes #Linux because there’s 100+million lines across Kernel, compiler and DE that’s eager to ruin your tools

@Kroc @psf I’m intending my #transputer emulator project to do this. Code running on the emulated CPU is connected over a link to another system that has the screen attached. A simple protocol over that link allows the code to access host resources, including terminal (and later, graphics). When I have an OS, & a display, that same protocol can be implemented by on the transputer, making it all self-contained.

I reached 40'000 words in my book today T__T; a little under a month after reaching 20'000 words. I'm shocked. The words just fell out of me today.
I have a 60 page sample #ebook available in ePub and PDF: https://camendesign.com/nomad
You'll know if it's your kind of book by the first page, but if you read it and want more, there's another 90 pages (so far) available via Patreon: https://patreon.com/KrocCamen where I will be putting out monthly updated manuscripts and diary called "The Spoiler Log" that chronicles the writing progress and choices through the month.This is the first time I have _ever_ provided the _option_ of paying for something I made. I'm not asking you to sign up, I'm just saying that this is a new direction for me.

I've been #writing every day for 15 weeks, ~3 months! I thought it was only a month!? Sometimes I might only write a sentence or two in a day, sometimes it's five hours.I've passed 30'000 words now, ~120 pages in standard UK paperback size.
Over-arching plotting is by far the hardest part; actually putting out words -- describing things, capturing moments -- I don't find any difficulty with, but I've been going through a long chunk of what I call Disney-ride exposition: An on-rails section of stopping points to explain things. This bit has been slow going, but I may just have to write it and come back another time to change it. Those who like world-building won't be short for details!
Would anybody be interested in an #ebook / PDF of what I've written so far?
You can read large chunk of it here: https://oldbytes.space/@Kroc/115895172569381595 but Mastodon scrolling is probably not a good reading experience.

Has anyone any recommendations for tools / styling for #ebooks? I'm looking at #asciidoc to #epub but I'm wondering what the "right" way to style the epub should be
-- edit: A very good solution has been found, but Mastodon can't add images to retoots, so here we are, using URLs: https://oldbytes.space/@Kroc/116346357622698597

Heute mein erstes Packet aus Japan von der Post geholt. Ging erstaunlich schnell.
Links das in Japan ausgegebene Album Echo der Gruppe koreanischen Band Rolling Quartz.
Die CD enthält die bereits anderweitig veröffentlichte Lieder plus den neuen Song My Turn. Das Album kommt mit einem Songbuch auf koreanisch und einem Faltblatt mit den Liedern auf japanisch.
Ein Booklet mit Bildern sowie ein einzelnes Bild der Band ist auch dabei.
Die DVD enthält 12 Videoclips.Mir gefällt es.
Auf der Maxi von Hanabie. sind zwei Lieder. Ein Song einer Anime Serie. Sowie ein Remix des Liedes OTAKU Lovely Densetsu. Gefällt mir auch sehr gut.
Auf der Blu-Ray ist das Eröffnungsvideo der Anime Serie. Da hätte auch noch etwas mehr darauf gepasst. 🤷♂️

@Kroc #flatpaks still have a place for #FOSS software, particularly aging software. Trying to get old software running with contemporary software natively is often difficult or even impossible. Having an isolated container system, like a #flatpak, to run that application makes absolute sense. I use flatpak for packaging for #retrogames and old apps.

@Kroc I've created a simple interface that has only two essential methods: Render(), and HandleEvent()
Every embedded panel now must satisfy that interface. This enables me now to have different implementations of what goes inside a panel:- Text View
- Terminal View
- Bim View
The Text View now has at least a vertical scrollbar. I thought it was going to take much longer, but the needs of integration made it surprisingly easy.
Text View is now the default viewer if you don't place anything else in a pane, see it working in the top left pane.

@Kroc Ooh, this lines up nicely with the self-hosting philosophy of #CollapseOS. :neofox_owo:

@Kroc A markdown viewer called MarqueeDown is among the code examples provided with the MARQUEE widget/renderer.
https://github.com/ha1tch/marquee/tree/main/examples/marqueedownIt's only a code example, but it does show how to build hyperlinked documentation with markdown, and no external browser dependencies, even in this early and incomplete state of development.

@Kroc
I really can't understand how do you trust using a #proprietarysoftware such as #vscode for coding. How can you tell it doesn't **steal** your work sending it to #Microsoft or its #AI ? -
@Kroc I made this thing... I finally ran 2001 through 2009. Though, there are some errors, Flash related.

I feel like a madman -- my #z80 assembler, #v80, assembles itself! This is it doing so on an #Amstrad #PCW emulator, a #z80 CP/M machine from 1985. It's not optimised for speed on original hardware -- over 50% of the runtime will be just echoing text (thanks, CP/M) and I'm surprised by the amount of heap data needed in the end, but we are talking 335 KB of source code (8KB binary), and I can look into that

#v80 v0.1.3 released! https://codeberg.org/Kroc/v80/releases/tag/v0.1.3
- Binary (`%`), *decimal*, and character (`'`) literals
- Local labels (`_`)
- Fill keyword (`.f`)v80 should now feel a lot closer to most other #z80 assemblers. Syntax highlighting is available in #vscode

#v80 is released! I spent six months writing a #z80 assembler... in z80! https://codeberg.org/Kroc/v80
Why? Because I see too much 8-bit software on GitHub that requires a PC toolchain to build -- if a computer can't produce and deploy its own software then it's not a computer, it's an appliance!
These 8-bit machines should be *used*. What joy is there in retro or modern 8-bit hardware if you sit at your PC developing all day and deploying to it like so much throw-away web-scale infrastructure?
But nobody should give up PC-based development either, so I made v80 runnable on PC too, allowing for build automation but never removing the ability to reproduce the software on real 8-bit hardware.
Please, if your 8-bit software project can't be built on an 8-bit system, consider what you can do to change that. You don't have to use v80, but the idea should stick with you. Today's Windows XP is tomorrow's Windows 10. Your build system won't stop being a moving target you can't control.

#v80 is functionally complete. Release will be coming this week. For Windows, everything is already in the repo, including binaries to build it, but I just need to put together a readme.txt tailored for what a user would need when using v80 to develop #z80 software.
335KB of heavily commented assembly code produces an 8 KB binary. I wrote it from scratch; it took six months. https://github.com/Kroc/v80

@gvv My terminology here is likely entirely wrong; by binary, I mean "not code", which how most other assemblers parse Z80's mass of complex instructions. The tree is defined here: https://github.com/Kroc/v80/blob/main/src/z80.wla and the instruction parser that walks it is here: https://github.com/Kroc/v80/blob/main/src/asm.wla#L994-L1119

#z80 bros, your opinion on my z80 assembler's syntax please; #v80 doesn't use standard Zilog syntax to make it significantly simpler (and faster) to parse, but if I want to create a Notepad++ language definition I don't have the flexibility there to differentiate registers (`add.b`) and keywords (`.b ...`)
Please have a look at v80's syntax (https://github.com/Kroc/v80/blob/main/README.md) and tell me what you think. Could keywords start with something other than "."? (which could be reserved for private labels in the future). Should constants be ALL_CAPS instead of using a `#` sigil? I could allow separation of instructions and registers with spaces by letting the parser read 1 space in the instruction name as being any-number of spaces but using dots means multiple instructions on one line are easier to read and there's less typing and formatting overall

Guys, that's a #Z80 #cpm binary executing in the terminal on the right there. The incredible NTVCM is a program that runs your CP/M binaries right in the terminal like any other *nix program; https://github.com/davidly/ntvcm
It is necessary to grasp the full import of this -- software for 8-bit systems can be assembled on PC as part of any other build-script, makefile, GitHub Action, Docker, or whatever, but still retain the ability to build the software ON REAL 8-BIT HARDWARE.
This is my Z80 assembler #v80 (https://github.com/Kroc/v80), written in Z80, running in #VSCode producing a test binary. In the future it'll assemble itself, and then the possibilities are limitless
