ended up publishing a first version of BAGQUEST.BAS here.

this is a roguelike that is based on the concept of a line of tiles.

comes in at ~8KB RAM usage, and ~270 lines of pure Commodore V2 BASIC code.

please enjoy.

I made some progress on disassembly of the binary, if your into it, I'd love help.

What system is this for!?!?!

MC6802コンピューターが動いたので、1年前に挫折した MC6800シングルボードコンピュータの基板を 今度はビアのテンティング(保護)ありで再度製造してもらいまして、動きました～!!
回路は間違ってなかったのかぁぁぁぁ
オリジナルのMIKBUGモニタも、オリジナルの電大版TinyBASICも動きました。

The game was for a jam. After the jam, I released an improved version which you can find, along with Tiny BASIC and some other games, on my Tiny BASIC web site. tinybasic.cyningstan.org.uk #TinyBASIC

A while ago, I was briefly interested in writing compilers and interpreters. My only such project was Tiny BASIC. To demonstrate the language I made some games, including Kingdom of the Lyre, a text adventure (Tiny BASIC has no strings). It's at cyningstan.itch.io/kingdom-of-t... #TinyBASIC

Writing a #compiler is interesting, I'm reviving an old #typescript project where I wrote a compiler for #tinybasic. Now I'm rewriting the project in #cpp, will also #OpenSource it once it's finished.

It will first be a #bytecode #vm but eventually be turned into a native compiler

I've finally started getting into #Rust programming. As a learning project, I'm working on a TinyBASIC, which I'm calling FlakyBASIC.

I'm glad I persevered and overcame the steep learning curve. Now that things are beginning to click, I really enjoy Rust.

さすがに今時 TinyBASICはねー、っていう訳で今時の MSBASICに書き換えてみました、JTCでは必須の技術ですねw
元にしたのが整数版なので丸め誤差？なのか若干違うけどヨシ！

it is getting close to being what i imagined.

it is quite a trippy game to play!

I stumbled on an article in @hackaday-feed.bsky.social about the Springboard connector socket having direct access to the CPU, and i'm a little intrigued! IIRC you code these with C language, but there was a TinyBASIC port online too.

CPU running Basic
TinyBasic interpreter Copyright 1976 Itty Bitty Computers, used by permission. Can Basic be directly interpreted and executed by hardware? One of the recurring ideas in computing is one of "intermediate language" that provides abstraction over myriad differences between execution platforms. Pascal P-code, Microsoft IL (now known as CIL), Java VM bytecodes are some examples. 50 years ago, this concept was used to implement a minimal, portable Basic "dialect". Whole interpreter fit in 346 bytes of TBIL (Tiny Basic Intermediate Language) code! A VM ("virtual machine", another recurring concept) could then be written for popular microprocessors of the era, and for the first (and maybe last?) time same Basic code could be executed on vastly different computers. In this project I designed and implemented a custom micro-coded CPU that executes TBIL, within a "SBC" which also contains RAM, ROM, VGA and serial I/O.
