...

i say, give as about 30 years of scene and we'll go after walt and pantaloon ....

give or take

its like swimming, man, ... trying to force car mechanics just wont work

a week of 6502 ... sounds bigheader than it is , but it was quite the interesting journey and it feels like abandoning unigine wouldnt even hurt atm b/c i wanna do More

this is "1k" , 1024 bytes of machine language (written in assembler however) ... where VICE wont keep a steady 50fps on linux sadly on windows it does

so from 2 days ago like "how do i pass memory locs as variables" to yesterdays "indirect indexed zero page addressing is l""t" to todays OMG it went from 1500b to under 980 i need to add some duplicate code

if you're not into this, i doubt you will be into this lol

the only thing here

it sometimes just refuses to move to the mainloop so is that my code or is that vice ??? I HAVE NO IDEA i know computers shouldnt do that on a hard reset (different behaviour on the same set of instructions)

and so

we just added 5 zero bytes at the end and windows 1024 bytes (BUT 4096 ON DISK ... i sitll dont know how THAT works)

doesnt look like much but we would implore you to put down 1024 bytes of 8bit code and do it - even for someone who used to program for a hobby it took quite a bit of the 1e100

room for improvement ofcourse, and the sound is far from DANE or Jason Paige but euhm

i never poked a sid before

only your sisters panties (i hear they dont understand that in europe or america ... they think its #@#¼@#¼)

OMOSHIROI

but the food is on the stove i'll dedicate a page to it on the website with a bit more #stuff to it, some slices of 256 or 512b because some of the offsets give nice chocolate rain on the screen .... blue ice in this case but well , the mandatory .d64 file and the source code which has most of the spaghettie in it but out-marked to show where what went smaller

just in case a pandemic hits the planet and the scene revives your little cousin

i doubt we'll submit it even if i seen a lot of ... stuff ... on pouet and csdb that certainly wont outshine it in the last year or more since we been following up a little again

but HEY, you never know, for 300 million we would probably consider it
(ehheh)

dub it "1st1(k)" by JoG 2022, the dirty version is a hack edition, primordial miks

will probably tweak on it

omoshiroi

certainly certainly

the kid would have loved it

sadly no one here is 12 anymore

and thats not meant in a sarcastic way, take me back to 1980 and i will quit school 8 years later - the rest was a waste of time anyway back when this hole had money and there was to be made but well

the actuall skill involved in this "WHY WOULD YOU WANNA DO THAT" (other than : the 1s and 0s are like a mantra that keeps my head quiet and makes me forget im stuck in a hole? and i used to REALLY enjoy doing it and other stuff like "a hobby" and whatnot)

is called problem solving

starting with "i know what an opcode is" and the 1e100 at your fingertips and "i seen a lot of demos since the atari 2600 broke and yars revenge was gone"

its highly undervalued and personally we feel like they dont want you to

thought is the enemy of progress, schools teach you how to learn, not how to think

you're turned into a spreadsheet

SQUARE

and by the time you can say "yes sir stick it a little deeper" without flinching

you are allowed to get a state stamped slip that says

"ready voor de baas"

(ofcourse this is not america or others, so maybe its different overthere)

anyhoo,

thats what its called euh

'problem solving'

but mostly

"a hobby"

beats extra valium ....

dooooooozo

domo

my icecream's melting

---

mandatory ppps then , (that was great icecream)

i and we agree most normal people should probably stay in school until a certain time but not everyone is born normal and that doesnt mean "like lady ha ha" actually - some kids can read before school others write their first rhymes taking baths in the sink while others write hello world before breakfast (altho thats probably less since the a.i. will do that for you)

for instance here i got stuck for like almost a day because there was a missing #

just one

cardinal sign, no idea what the english word is AND on TOP OF THAT

python didnt say there was a "you forgot to tab twice error in line ten so i refuse to compile it you nasty freedom fighter"

so it said lda 0 where it should have lda #0

which is part of the reason why Syntax Error and ZeroDesign are not shops in de nieuwstraat
but thats not it

some people LOVE school btw , very well aware of that , in our case : on its first day the kid (as you notice in the third person for reasons not given but it might as well be) took one look when grandma took him and said

I AINT GOING IN THERE

(like 10 cm high with a little backpack and a sandwich in it)

and he didnt

he turned around and walked back home and ate the sandwich on his uncles doorstep

back then about all the family lived in one street

not joking when i say drukkerland is drukkerland , it still is but about 50% refugees now

who dont usually bring besos money or salvador dali with them

b/c theres a reason why they're refugees and most of that is no money AND connections

but before it turns into a rant

school is really BAD for thinking

but most normal people or mundanes as we call them after uncle Bester - ... actually

they dont WANt responsibility, they WANT voor de baas ... you're just following orders, right ?

thats what normal is, because the norm is just that, thats not good or bad

that just is

sadly most mundanes feel ab-normal is the linguistic and moral equivalent of bad

SO

before this turns into a rant

---

the basics for a small 4k intro are there although if you look at bonsai in the 80s (hahaha) this might have done

its got like stable rasterlines bordering "a widescreen" which are each exactly one scanline, its got a small bar on the bottom that spans both out AND inside (with one line left out on the inside to show its not a trick as the letters are black too and you cant possibly do a custom charset in 1024b + code)

which takes some timing, which so far was mostly a guessing game and on "optimization"(?thats what you call it?) into 1024b gave a lot of free bytes b/c we just put a stream of NOPs in it

so there's quite some room for manipulation in there and actually the indirect zero page addressing isnt used so theres probably room for even more

manipulation

but not data

so if by now you say "thats not sports"

you're probably in the wrong section lol
and no offense , if you like sports

THEN SPORTS !

but leave us to ours then, okay ?

...

that better, i saw the frown in thirdspace, im not trying to make your kid quit school

we can only speak for ourselves and past the age of something it was CERTAINLY

all a waste of time

thats all

now, after breaking those vertebrae for a week (its tantalizing, like pr0n to an addict) its probably time for some horizontality

sadly that dvd is still in the mail we hope it arrives

amazes me how sometimes ppl still send mail without a trace code

i mean

the fucking mafia is taking over lol

no kidding, i mean the poor people mafia

cant blame them

but i sure will if its MY SHIT

:)

now .... okay then ?

goood

*sigh*

"i have nothing to add to that"

the headers file is something i typed up myself after cmbprgstudio, a suite like that makes it all look like visual python, i can just keep adding and after x demos or intros i have the whole memory map inthere with snazzy names and remarks to it and it doesnt take up one byte of memory on the hard machine or emulator

i read a lot about visual studio, and tried installing it once (on linux), it crashed

so that was it, recently for unigine i did some part of hello world for C++ and i was AGHAST the thing forces me to declare everything up front - thats absolutely not ZeroDesign, its a chokehold and i feel theres people who would like to kill php too that way recently

everything has to be ........ PRE-gurgitated ? its just not these ones style ... usually just use xed or geany in most cases now which is just fine as long as it has the 1e100 next to it, syntax is a waste of brainspace if you think about it

since johny the playboy and his shy boy alan before and around the logic hasnt changed

after you're using logic gates at electronic level

EVEN in supercomputerpythons

which personally all of us feel is a cardinal sin against turing - spending billions on

football ?

no a supercomputer and then using python to program it like "oh well we dont need THOSE cycles, thats okay, just add another terabyte, PLENTY OF MONEY"

so you see ? if by NOW you are like EHJ thats not sports what can i say

"crypto is dead" ?

:)

loll

mmmm, there used to be this guy here, a bit older than me, he had his parents declare him a legal adult at 16 or 17 ... (i know someone else who had that done but that was b/c he was more like a born gangster and they wanted rid of him)

aah, the good old days

so because the man was already making money and even back then SO WELL it would have caused trouble (even if back then off the books money was spending money (whihc means : FLOWING money) , it was not terrorist activities against the state

and legally he wasnt allowed to, he asked that, and they ofcourse complied
proud

never finished hischool like that probably (or maybe he did, dont know)

i DO know they quit , him and the missus years ago, sold of most of the properties they gathered during their career of non-degreed moneymaking

and probably dont feel the price of milk and bread so bad today

....

thats enough elaboration

if you're looking for job-skills : THIS here is general , this is von neumann, this the ghost in the machine, your phone still works like that, this is more like Steve Jobs-skills

if you're looking to be hired by de baas its probably better if you can explain how you can do more hours than flippy the robot for less and grew an extra arm during your free time , just for that

but if you do that

there's 7 billion others

stuff like this might get you a Snowden position (if you're like 10.000 times better than we here)

and then you can get

... you know

tried for treason lol

okay

CUT

CUT

im looking forward to my next intro or this one with more snazzy and less nops and waiting for rasterlines during the interrupt (im not sure if thats heresy, you see, there was no school64 ... so everything is googled on the spot this week ... the asm is ...)

thats not boasting

if you feel like that, lets switch

you can keep your wife and kids

the dog too
the car too , it wont do you much good because ill take the money and the house thats not in belgium ?

deal ?

well you seemed to be awfully like "bruhahaha - me here about me"

my imagination huh

yea i had that condition since the kid

"imagination"

it gets in the way of de baas
