using my extremely limited free time to add syntax highlighting for 1990s-era Turbo Pascal to the nano editor

it actually made a big difference

Heute Abend nochmal zum Abschluss meines Urlaubs eine ganz starke Retro Brise: #TurboPascal. Lang ist's her, dass ich damit mal unterwegs war. Im Bild sieht man ein Quellcode Teil von einem Programm, das ich gerade archiviere. Ich muss mal schauen, ob ich den Originalautor noch zu fassen bekomme. Bisher gibt es darüber jedenfalls _gar nichts_ im Netz. #retro #retrocomputing #pascal #lazarus

worked a little bit more on my dos game thingy^^
currently stable at 13000cycles (dosbox), approx. equal to a 486 cpu with an vga card^^ lot's of fun in the retro space #retro #gamedev #turbopascal #mode13

Finally dug into Mode X. It can do some neat tricks 13h can't, but it's got some challenges as well... so I had to dust off my very rusty assembly skills

I just realized something.. I used to love learning new things, i could get engrossed in something because it was simple to learn and easy to use.

New "tech stack" doesn't seem to be like that anymore. It feels needlessly complex and invents a new 'standard' every time. It makes me angry and I hate learning, cause its no longer fun.

Learning #borland #TurboPascal #pascal was fun and easy in High School. Moving to #C and #Perl in university was great and easy enough as well. Not that I was any kind of competent in C, but I felt I learned enough that it set me up on a trajectory to learn the finer details and gotchas.

Things like #Python are annoying AF. Oh, your python program only works on 3.11 and not 3.12 or 3.13? That shouldn't be at all. From 2->3 sure I expect changes, 3->4, i would expect great changes as well. But not a minor change!

Dabbling in #Go was fine actually, it didn't anger me much, and #Rustlang / #rust I'm still doing rustlings so I can't say much there.

CLI tools are weird today too. Do they want to be a TUI, a true CLI tool or what?

The #Unix philosophy made learning new tools nice and easy, at least I think so. Do one thing, do it well, make it so your output can be used as the input to another program and great!

Things don't seem to follow that idea anymore.

Or am I just old and biased cause my brain lost its elasticity?? I don't want to think i'm so egocentric as to not rule that out.

I wrote an #xcom "ufo-enemy unknown' #savegame editor in #TurboPascal back then 🤓 😎

@psychotimmy @mina is Turbo Pascal still available somehow? I used to work with it for almost a decade… (I’ve possibly looked a little younger those days) #turbopascal

📚🔢 "Exploring Mathematics with Python" is a thrilling tale of swapping Turbo Pascal for #Python, but don't worry, the paper cuts from flipping through 1993 #nostalgia are totally FREE! 💻✨ Latex formatting and a sprinkle of new chapters by Andrew Davison—what a wild ride! 🚀😂

Apparently Turbo Pascal 7.0 and Turbo Debugger 5.0 aren't compatible. Does anyone know the latest TD version that can read TP binaries with a symbol table?

I am considering learning to program, not as a career but for myself. I have been wanting to do this for a long time but never really started. One thing I do know is that I like procedural languages as opposed to object-oriented ones. I am strongly considering QuickBASIC 4.5 or 7.1, and Turbo Pascal 6.0, but I don't know which to choose as a beginner. I know there are flavours of these that can work with Windows XP and 7, and maybe, one day, I will try them in their 32-bit varients. But for now, I am focusing on the DOS ones,since they are probably easier to learn and use. Is there anything I should know as a totally blind programmer? If I did choose to switch to a Windows varient of one of these languages, how difficult would the transition be?

If it helps, these are the sorts of programs I use in Windows.

Notepad Classic, Jarte (can simply use Edit or Wordperfect 5.1, or MS Word 5.5, but simple editor may be good for project)

MPCHC (mp3 player, I don't mind a simpler one)

Virtual Recorder (simple mp3 recorder/may be difficult in DOS)

Thunderbird 102 (most likely too advanced for a beginner)

TweeseCake, TWBlue (for Mastodon/there is already a DOStodon, but don't know if it's accessible)

Reddit for Blind, Luna for Reddit

Cook Timer (simple timers exist, but this may be good to create as a beginner project)

Openbook, Kurzweil 1000 (ocr and pdf converter, too advanced for beginner)

various audio and text-based games

Nach einem Sommerkurs #Basic bei der Migros Klubschule 1986, den ich als 11-Jähriger als Bedingung dafür besuchen musste, dass mir meine Eltern einen eigenen Homecomputer kauften, lernte ich ab 1988 im Informatik-Freikurs dank der Initiative meines Mathe-Lehrers am Gymnasium (damals noch 8 Jahre) neben #dBase und #WordPerfect auch #TurboPascal auf MS-DOS. Auch wenn ich kein Informatiker geworden bin, habe ich doch sehr davon profitiert.

@bagelcollie The #TurboPascal versions with the odd numbers were the good ones.

I took a first stab at isometric maps on a 386. The new direction definitely makes things more challenging... and I'm not sure yet if I can pull it off.
