this time I tried to tell google gemini to generate all code from /dev/null (not really, but from my vague prompt) for a picture viewer using stb_image.
kind of working, but doesn't look good in win32s.

По прошествии суток удалось кое-как забороть местную БД (там нет автоинкремента, ебануться!) и условно победить кириллицу. Осталась самая малость — а именно самое главное

Отвык я от бейсика за 30 лет, но флешбэк за флешбеком так и случается

I just released version 0.97 of PASTA/80, the 8-bit Turbo Pascal 3 clone you didn't know you needed. 😀 Now with a target for Agon Light/Console8 (courtesy of @sijnstra), debugger support and lots of small improvements to both the compiler and the existing targets (which are CP/M, Spectrum 48K, 128K, and Next).

Presenting SUDO for DOS!

An implementation of sudo for DOS, to run the given command with full privileges. It can be used to edit important system files, run disk partitioning tools, and so on!

Success!! We have a working tool chain. Latest builds of Vasm/VBcc/Amiberry and a working 'Build and Run' command in the extension.

Now it's time to clean this up a bit so that it can run on somebody else's machine too.

Then the fun part... debugging support!

@epimundo Thank you so much for the shout out! It is funny that the VIC screen actually fits into the width of a YT Short video! Thanks again!

My #Linux hack for today:

alias bake='make'

Mmmmmmmm... baking assembler... (assembler crumble cake?)

Programming some small DOS programs has made me learn a bit more about it, and real-mode programming in general.

For example, I thought DOS was essentially a single-process, full memory ownership sort of affair (sans resident code hacks), but that's not true at all. Multiple programs can be loaded at the same time, with DOS keeping tabs of memory allocations. The basic variant of this being one program starting another, and then the second exiting, returning to the first.

(But let's not make $-terminated strings a thing again! Or length-prefixed, \r-terminated strings, wat)
