TIL 16rFFFF for hexadecimal mode in Smalltalk.

Chris [list of emoji]

@neauoire

Is this an emulated Alto?

Also, if you haven't checked out Squeak, I recommend you take a look at it. It's the continuation of this project and keeps the cool ideas while taking advantage of more advanced hardware.

@neauoire that's an old school smalltalk image you're using!

@neauoire Love #Smalltalk's arbitrary bases! 36r was popular, too.

@neauoire aw yeah, drawing directly over windows without clearing the screen πŸ˜˜πŸ‘Œ

Dang, I gotta get a copy of your hacking playlist.

Love the Bluebook examples for the Pen object.

I've always loved ST's little thumbs up and thumbs down icon when asking you to close a window. It's a nice touch

@neauoire Whoa, what environment is that? Looks very 9y :)

For the whole winter, the cockpit was full of wood and tools while we were rewiring Pino, now it's empty again! Feel good to be able to sit outside in the sun again.

Of course, you wouldn't want to be writing hexadecimals all day.

@neauoire Well... I wouldn't want to write
```go
foo, err := bar()
if err != nil {
handleError(err)
}
```
all day either... πŸ˜…

@neauoire Kinda curious if a *slightly* higher-level language could be written on top of uxn that was both a) meaningfully more readable and b) close to trivial to implement (no really high-level features, just a different syntax, maybe?)...

@neauoire you know i really would love to get ahold of an HP-48 sometime! ✨

@bellinitte Are the daikon emulator's source available online somewhere?

@neauoire not yet, it's too messy right now. I have two configurations -- one for varvara, and one for my socket stuff, and I switch between the two by just commenting one out and recompiling lol. I'm thinking about implementing some sort of system for modular devices so I can switch them out like "I want system on 0, screen on 2, and three files on a, b, and c"

also, keeping things private for now allows me to focus on getting stuff done instead of always making sure it's pretty :)

Are you plagued by poorly built trigger clamps? WORRY NO MORE

Since they always break at the hinge, here's how to fix them:

- The plastic hinge probably snapped, so drill it out.
- Drill through both sides of the handle
- Run a bolt through
- If you feel extra fancy, add washers.
- Enjoy clamp for many years more.

For #finishit today, @rek and I are doing final playtests, stitching spritesheets and optimizing memory usage. To help with that, I made a little ROM visualizer.

Devil Lu Linvega

I can now see all the assets pages and their length, so I can better merge them ✊

After a day of work I managed to save 3 pages(totally 192kb) of memory in Oquonie for a rom that will be a total of 458kb spread over 7 pages of memory.

I'm pretty happy that we got to create a demake of our game and bring it from 150mb to 458kb and preserve much of the essence of the original, I dare even say that it's quite a lot better. The virtual machine driving it is somewhat easy to implement and hopefully that will help for the game to be playable in the future.

So you bought monocrystaline flex solar panels thinking they're going to last, but they started to delaminate almost instantly and you're like WAT EVEN THE F

It looks like silicone holds the layers together. I'll let you know in two weeks if they're still glues to each other. If not, I'm going to jbweld them together.

That is a pain!
I hate unboxing expensive things that start to deteriarate almost immidiately.

Got our copy of Fantomes zine II, it's absolutely gorgeous. Amazing work from everyone who sent stories and drawings πŸ‘»

The number-drawing turned out so good! we just came back from the pub jamming on ideas for other games we could make for the next volume.

@neauoire thank you! glad it got here safely :)

Added metadata to Oquonie, inching closer to #finishit.

leah & asm & forth, oh my!

@neauoire just to clarify: is each window here running in its own uxn instance?
