 I remember the CanonCat had built-in spreadsheet capabilities, I sometimes want to do math in my files, but I don't want to add a calculator to my text editor. I had this idea earlier that if I route the text editor to the calculator and back, I basically gain calculator capabilities without bloating the editor. 10 comments
@neauoire It's really fun following along. What exactly do we see here? Each window a UXN machine, rendered in an SDL-based WM, on... Linux/X11? Just guessing here. Also, is the calculator setup to auto-send all results? @laudenberg Yup you got it right! The goal is to devise a kind of specs that will be portable, so I'll make a x11 version that can launch instead of i3 for example. The purpose is to design something for systems that don't have the unix subsystem :)  @neauoire Did the CanonCat do something like PipeDream then: https://worldofspectrum.org/z88forever/z88apps.htm#pipedream ? @alex27 you could pass a pointer to an address in the rom, that should work. I haven't tested it tho, I'm not sure if there couldn't be some race condition there. |
