edit mode as it existed in EDITYPE is now implemented, and seems to work.

i made a major modification, it merely dumps the whole buffer and allows the user to search and replace.

it will currently only replace the first occurrence it finds, and then require the user to type everything again...

uses about 3.6KB memory.

after this video, the interpreter reports:

Unintentional Permacomputing

"If there is any upside to a computational culture dominated by enshittification, crapularity and maximalist techno-aesthetics, is that sometimes a computational object or situation may generate unintentional permacomputing advantages.

Rejoice and dance around the tech dumpster fire!"

please find attached a demo of the VIC EDITYPE text editor.

originally distributed as a type in BASIC program.

If the machines were simpler it would be easier to write system software for them.

Simpler doesn't imply slower nor smaller, we can imagine fast computers with uh wide bit-widths (64 bit, more than 64 bit) and large amounts of storage, just much simpler.

from today's stream:

wherein we waded into the depths of "edit mode" of the Tiny BASIC text editor.

currently the editor stands at 2.2KB in memory.

what's being done is work on the peoples text editor.

it is a text editor written in Tiny BASIC

There have been two main points of focus for the project over the last month. The text editor, and something of a finalisation of the hardware for two models of permacomputer.

Hey fedi, share some cool programs and utilities you have made or something you think is not known, and I shall package it in #guix :neofox_sign_aaa:

LIMITED TIME OFFER, Boosts appreciated :moomin_butterfly:

This is totally not a trap to find new programs :pikachu_surprised:
