2021-07-20 03:07:24 <rick_carlino1> crc I think the ngaImage.js file may be out of date. I tried to run the d:words source file and got errors because it's using the recently deprecated a:contains-string? word.

2021-07-20 03:08:06 <rick_carlino1> Err, sorry s:contains-string?

2021-07-20 03:08:22 <rick_carlino1> I will be back around tomorrow.

2021-07-20 06:57:06 rick_carlino1: I have updated the image, thanks!

2021-07-20 10:39:06 <rick_carlino1> Thanks, crc!

2021-07-20 10:51:04 <rick_carlino1> It seems that Firefox is blocking Retro.js because it performs ticks inside of a while loop that blocks the main thread. I am going to investigate alternatives, such as a timer-based loop that does n VM ticks per turn so that other browser events can fire.

2021-07-20 11:46:27 I haven't tried running it under Firefox recently, just Chrome & Safari

2021-07-20 11:47:06 there's a lot that should be improved in the JS implementation :(

2021-07-20 12:23:38 <eli_oat > crc would you ever consider writing a wish list of things you'd hope to improve, or like a TODO doc so the community could take a stab at it?

2021-07-20 12:29:45 I can certainly do this

2021-07-20 12:32:17 <eli_oat > I am by no means an amazing programming, but, of all the programming places that I occupy, I'm probably the most experienced with javascript, so would be happy to see what kind of trouble I could get into

2021-07-20 15:30:11 <rick_carlino1> crc Have you looked at the RPi Pico yet? I just bought one to play around with the new VM idea on. Going to try, at least.

2021-07-20 16:21:56 eli_oat: http://forth.works/todo.txt would be the start of this

2021-07-20 16:22:15 <eli_oat > nice!

2021-07-20 16:22:20 <eli_oat > thanks crc, I'll take a look

2021-07-20 18:33:06 rick_carlino1: I've downloaded some docs on it, but not taken a close look yet
