Here's a #language #interpreter from my 20 years in #JavaScript #development: https://www.marquisdegeek.com/forth I wrote this Forth interpreter because I
love both it, and the #JupiterAce. I released it on May 4th. Source at

Using the #Zesarux emulator in #JupiterACE #emulation mode and defining some high-level words to handle strings ...

I can see why this machine, in hindsight, has probably been one of the best ways to learn #Forth in its day as it comes with just enough words in its dictionary to get you going. It's a very compact vocabulary:

No ACCEPT, no MOVE and no 2DUP or even HEX - you need them, you write them yourself.

But this is what sharpens your skills and gives you a very good understanding of the bottom-up method.

Boy, I love this machine and its compatible remake, the #Minstrel4th

Small retro-computing milestone: after many hours of experimenting, testing, breaking things, fixing things, and trying again, my Jupiter Ace emulator (build with AI assistance) has finally loaded a game on Build 30.

It is not playable yet, so this is definitely not a launch announcement, but getting a real game screen to appear in the browser feels huge.

I never actually owned a Jupiter Ace, but it has always fascinated me. Also, obviously, it has a very cool name.

Os micros dessa empresa britânica são queridos de muita gente que por aqui. E desde que o Projeto Arco íris foi feito pela Microdigital, aí é que a porteira foi aberta e hoje em dia há muitos clones dos micros da Sinclair. Desde os ZXUNO, que você pode adquirir na AliExpress (e eu achei 16

One of the cool things about the #Minstrel4th is the fact that its #ROM not only contains the original #JupiterACE ROM and an Enhanced JupiterACE ROM by @nihirash (which enables program load via serial I/O amongst other things) - no: there are also #ZX80 and #ZX81 "compatible" #BASIC ROMs available on the additional banks, all selectable via jumpers.

The ZX81 compatible ROM works well enough to run "Flight Simulation" by Psion Computers.

EDIT: Oh, and it runs the ZX81 version of "Mazogs", of course ...

What will not work is anything that uses non-standard screen and keyboard routines, as the hardware of the Minstrel 4th is slightly different from the original ZX81. Still, it's a nice extra I didn't expect.
