Pling!

Pling!

A nice looking functional, concatenative programming language for minimal systems.
By Kroc Camen.

  • Simple left-to-right, context-free parser. No look-ahead!
  • Can be parsed as a byte-at-a-time stream without backtracking; the whole source file does not have to be in RAM at once
  • Link-time modules provide easy code reuse without building monolithic binaries

The syntax is minimal, but easy to read and understand.

A web-page specification for computers that predate the World Wide Web

Web0; A Specification -- DRAFT

Web0 ("web zero") is a World Wide Web for computers that pre-date Web 1.0.

Web0 is intended for 8-bit computers; newer machines can participate, but the spec is designed around a baseline of 8-bit hardware. This is because, whilst most 16-bit computers already have web-browsers that can be fed basic HTML through a proxy service such as http://frogfind.com, few 8-bit systems have browsers and struggle with even simple HTML due to assumptions in the design of HTML itself.

INCOMPLETE, DRAFT DOCUMENT

WLA-DX Z80 opcodes with shadow registers (AF', BC', DE', HL')
/* the Z80 has a set of shadow registers A', F' (technically AF'),
BC', DE' & HL'. the `ex` instruction swaps A & F with A' & F',
whereas the `exx` instruction swaps BC, DE & HL with BC', DE', HL'
therefore, note that A & A' can be used independenly of
BC, DE, HL & BC', DE', HL', but BC, DE, HL cannot be mixed
with BC',DE',HL'

A proposed image format specification for 8-bit Commodore computers.

Introduction

Version 1.0; 10-SEP-2018.

With the introduction of new tools for the development of Commodore 64 art on modern systems, there has arisen a need for a universal standard image format for the storing and transferring of Commodore image formats between programs, including original hardware.

This specification proposes just such a format that is simple to understand, simple to parse -- even on original hardware -- and simple to implement.

What Exactly is Commodore "art"?

Kroc's Transliteration Method
//safeTransliterate v3, copyright (cc-by 3.0) Kroc Camen <camendesign.com>
//generate a safe (a-z0-9_) string, for use as filenames or URLs, from an arbitrary string
function safeTransliterate ($text) {
//if available, this function uses PHP5.4's transliterate, which is capable of converting arabic, hebrew, greek,
//chinese, japanese and more into ASCII! however, we use our manual (and crude) fallback *first* instead because
//we will take the liberty of transliterating some things into more readable ASCII-friendly forms,
//e.g. "100℃" > "100degc" instead of "100oc"
