#programming #atari #forth

An astounding display of nailing a target audience, the cover for "Forth on the Atari" is a dramatic tour de force that blends science fiction and fantasy aesthetics, featuring a scantily clad woman and man, the woman standing boldly on a field of keycaps next to the kneeling man as if they were diminutive gremlins upon an enormous computer keyboard. The woman's vest barely containing her swollen woman-breasts, and she glances expectantly to her male partner who wears a chestplate that does as well of a job covering his chest as the woman's vest does of covering her breasts, which makes this an exquisite feminist piece. He wears a strange visored helmet with small antennae protruding from the top and side, a leather bumhugger that gracefully outlines the contours of his fungal banana man-fruit, and he stares at the viewer as he strains with all his might to hold up an ebon stone slab carved to reveal the word "FORTH". On the horizon, spotlights blast conical beams into the night amidst several other nondescript buildings, and a Class-M planet hovers in the sky above for no other reason than looking totally bad-ass behind a nearly naked woman and man.

Felix Winkelmann implemented a standard #forth, in #uxn.

It works amazingly well, it even supports the full Varvara APIs, so it can be used to draw shapes and play music!

To all those who claimed #Forth couldn't be useful on the web, I give you this.

Here's what a complete article looks like, including a long title, a reasonably long abstract/lead, and an even longer body.

The one instruction wonder (One-Der) https://web.archive.org/web/20141217115838/drdobbs.com/article/print?arti…

This is an example of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpor…. The one instruction is "move", and beyond that it cheats by farming out features to memory-mapped peripherals. More an exercise in creative bookkeeping than a true "one-instruction CPU", but I found it a really interesting way of organizing things.

wonder about building upon this barebones #Scheme in #Forth to make it into #KernelLang or a more useful Scheme:

Scheme-in-Forth

A Scheme LISP interpreter that can be run with Gforth, by Mark Probst

#forth #scheme #KernelLang

This is why I wrote Shoehorn. The idea is to be able to bootstrap a #Forth environment for a processor of your choice in a matter of days, not months or years.

Of course, I haven't yet written said Forth yet (that's still in progress), but Shoehorn itself allowed me to write a simple, graphical demo on an emulator in a matter of a day, in time for an SVFIG presentation.

I retargetted Shoehorn to 64-bit RISC-V in about an hour. Untested, but it should mostly work fine as-is.

It's not the easiest thing in the world to use, but once you get your head around it, you should find that it is extremely productive.
