AAAAAAHHHHHRRRGGGG!!!!! Today I have been chewing on my keyboard. Two “dumb” incidents cost me HOURS to track down. I started today with adding new commands to Vectrex32 BASIC – mainly “camera”, “rotation”, 3d” etc. In the image above you can…
Today was a much better day than yesterday. I threw all stuff away that I did yesterday, started fresh and implemented the command list and a bunch of BASIC functions. My goal was to actually get “Lunar” running today. After…
I will not say today was “wasted” – since again I learned quite a lot. But on the other hand despite the image saying otherwise – I am nearly at same stage as yesterday. Yes, what you see in the…
Today I coded nearly “nothing”. First I had to do much around the house. Second – I researched the Vecterx32 BASIC a little closer: Since I never programmed a PIC and I do not have much experience (none) with RTOS…
My first BASIC program running. Output to the terminal – input done via the USB keyboard connected to the PiTrex – some things do go well together! I have spent quite some time today with GSBasic – but I haven’t…
Bobs code is split into different section, this is what I interprete from the layout (I haven’t programmed a PIC…) code for PIC environment (RTOS), a programming framework, supporting devices/periphals (USB etc) code for everything GS BASIC The second point…
Today on Facebook Vectrex Fans Unite one thing led to another and Bob Alexander offered the source code to his Vectrex32 (link: https://vectrex32.com/) BASIC, so it can be ported to be used on a PiTrex. I jumped onto that wagon…
Just a short note on my progress. I think I stepped up from alpha phase to beta phase.I have not EVERYTHING IRQ wrapped yet (zeroing, recalibrating, and joysticks are missing) – but everything else works fine.(@Kevin: yes, in between drawing/moving……
Long time – no blog. People watching this site “closely” or inspecting youtube now and than will have noticed, that I was not vectrex lazy the last couple of weeks. But there was nothing really all that specific going on.…
In May last year I wrote a forum post on Proboard (interrupt-driven-wangle). I always wanted to write a little bit in more detail about it, but somehow never did. Probably because of Vectorblade. Wangle is a “game” by Graham Toal,…
