The fact that there are opcodes localizations in Spanish, Esperanto and Toki is again, so unusual, and (for the lack of a better word) cute. Almost makes me wanna do PL version — eapcially I’m totally in love in polish early computing assemblers of communist era and this would look a lot like them 💕

I am also surprisingly disturbed by some of the nonstandard choices of opcodes names… like EOR for XOR? This goes against all western values :D
SFT doing both right and left shift is interesting tho. Not sure how practical, there must be a reason for doing this in one rather than two opcodes that I do not see yet, but interesting nevertheless

ok, sa JSI is basically a CALL, JCI is like JC, JMI is like JMP and JMP is like no other :) Like JMI takes addr from the code, and JMP from stack. But JCN is like JCI but takes both arguments from code. Got it.
What I find most fascinating tho at this point having read through the opcodes is that the authors took time to come up with a rune for all opcodes, and hand signals for most of them 🤯

@neauoire shouldn’t the text here say curly? I don’t think I’ve seen any argument in square brackets, also not exactly sure what do I gain about being explicit, most examples just pass raw short, even for functions…

I had my hands on the first edition of this record that my best friend got directly from the publisher. I ripped it obviously but lost the FLACs somehow over the years... Today it's worth 10x the price of regular CD, but fortunately I managed to find the same record attached to a book on Staszek Staszewski -- one of the greatest poets, a very underrated, of communist era in PL.
Today I finally imported the CD to iTunes Library, and it's been running since morning. G'd ol' times.

rabbit hole 1: this probably is more about Forth, but reading about concatenative languages… what’s the difference between “rot” ( a b c -- b c a ) and “roll” (a b c d - - b c d a ) is it the number of arguments only? Probably not if that’s supposed to be stack based they shouldn’t matter anyway… puzzled 🤷♂️

Week 3
Language: Uxntal
Confidence level: Mid
PREV WEEK: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@unjello/113814811741944311
RULES: https://andrzej.lichnerowicz.pl/en/blog/babel-of-code-2024/
I've stumbled upon Uxntal a while back and this week may actually take 2 weeks, because I want to take this as an opportunity to dive into stuff I've been postponing for a long time, all those 50 tabs open with all-the-things @neauoire -- 1/2bit graphics, low-power computing and sustainability, Uxn/Varvara ecosystem and some of Devine's talks too.

Right off the bat, a LOL moment. So I wrote the scaffolding for the solver:
[#]include <stdio.h>
[#]include
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
if (argc < 1) {
std::cout << "Usage: day02 <file>\n";
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
D:>WCL DAY02.CPP
and.... boom:
DAY02.CPP(6): Error! E241: col(14) 'class std' has not been declared
DAY02.CPP: 10 lines, included 1922, no warnings, 1 error
Error: Compiler returned a bad status compiling 'DAY02.CPP'

Week 2
Language: WATCOM C++
Confidence level: Mid-to-High?
PREV WEEK: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@unjello/113781499007697654
RULES: https://andrzej.lichnerowicz.pl/en/blog/babel-of-code-2024/
I was thinking of pulling up Forth, and should have posted this on monday, but the week after PTO was CRAZY. That means I'm sticking to WATCOM and hopefully, this looks easy enough I can make it in one day.
(updated post template stolen from @mcc, and I'm actually gonna stick to this one thread per week model, keeping all the didaskalía contained)

Alita: Battle Angel -- Nice visuals, although main character seems a bit uncanny at start, I got used to it. A bit fairytaleish, and even a bit steampunkish for a cyberpunk, but a nice change from all the gore and brutality or nihilism of other titles like Cyberpunk or even GitS. Looking at rotten tomatoes critics didn't seem to like it, but I did :)

I have just seen probably the weirdest film in a while… Kids picked something for a family afternoon, something that wasn’t a cartoon nor a romantic comedy. And that narrows a choice of Xmas movies quite a bit. So we ended up watching „There’s Something in the Barn”… It started off a bit Griswaldy just to turn mid way into a mash up between Gremlins and Texan Chainsaw Massacre… it was fun, but weird af :)

Another episode of "Play it again, Sam" -- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. It was as good as I remembered it. I got to play it in 1993. I can recall, because it was around the same time it got covered in the first issue of a legendary polish games magazine -- Secret Service. 31 years ago. Time flies.

I remember when this came out in 1993, it was a shock. A great looking game, in Polish! It was awesome. Even a reference to The Monkey Island -- although interesting -- cannot save it tho.
The plot and dialogues are still not bad. What did not age well is pixel-hunting for objects or combining them in some bizzare ways. And don't even get me started on the spitting puzzle :) Or maybe I have just become old and grumpy.
Either way. Good memories.

@neauoire hey. Found your webring and it does seem cool, but looking at joining criteria, i am curious - what does qualify as content, if you exclude blog posts? Or what is blog post? Like if I post few pages of work/research result periodically is that content?

Polish Flag Compo @ Mekka Symposium 2002, or There and Back Again... A little trip down the memory lane. I am being drawn to a simpler times, and properly understanding my opponents trick was on my todo list for some time now :)

oh, so it's official. the paper "Challenges and Opportunities in Preserving Intangible Cultural Heritage: Lessons from the Demoscene" that I wrote together with Maciej Grzeszczuk (fhkd.pl^pja.edu.pl) and Kinga Skorupska (pja.edu.pl) got accepted and will be published in vol. 63 of Lodz Ethnographic Studies journal (https://apcz.umk.pl/LSE/index) - how cool is that? :)

TIL the term JOMO - the joy of missing out. I think it perfectly describes what I’ve been doing past year or so :)

So I watched Nimona for a second time yesterday. Second time within 4 days. Every time I discover new hidden gems. No film made such an impact on me since Arcane. I have fell in love with it, almost all aspects of it, immediately. My kids love it too. I’m so grateful they have a chance to see the world through these lenses. And it’s so nice Netflix dropped a full version on YT. Huge shout out to @aldroid for boosting https://sunny.garden/@fringemagnet/111960733537927388 so it popped up on my timeline.
