I said my next “immediate” todos were to add sound stuff in BASIC. Half done – this took surprisingly much longer than anticipated. I am not going to write too much about it. But if interested, this is a working…
30th of April 2021 Porting GS BASIC – to PiTrex (9)
Ok. Yes. I will not say again, that I did not do anything wrong… (I probably will though). PiTrex GS BASIC is looking good today! For now I think everything is working. I should probably not look again at it…

27th of April 2021 Porting GS BASIC – to PiTrex (7)
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…
26th of April 2021 Porting GS BASIC – to PiTrex (6)
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…
25th of April 2021 Porting GS BASIC – to PiTrex (5)
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…
24th of April 2021 Porting GS BASIC – to PiTrex (4)
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…
23rd of April 2021 Porting GS BASIC – to PiTrex (3)
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…
22nd of April 2021 Porting GS BASIC – to PiTrex (2)
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…
21st of April 2021 Porting GS BASIC – to PiTrex (1)
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…
