Any URL should work instead of beer.lisp, enjoy!

Today I discovered if I don't return anything from a primitive, I get errors so bizarre I think function calling isn't working.

[Log] OK! ALL TESTS PASSED! (aspic.js, line 122)

New icons and organization, and bug fixes (but still no UI) on Aspic,

IN THE CYBER HOLE

So I cobbled something together from free vector images. Yay. It is a *minefield* of fucking AI and other spam out there.

Also realized I don't have an icon for TinyBasicWeb. That's easier & harder: It should be an 8-bit screen. I can make one on my (emulated) Atari! Rainbow but like, not intentionally stepping on Pride, check.

Drawing tiny text: Too small. Well, I'll just plot pixels from memory: OH HA HA right, memory is not in ATASCII order. I'll get it.

I'm trying to make a logo for Aspic (lisp-y), so I can move on to the next task. Image search of aspic (food) is less helpful. There's of course a ton of mid-century misuses, a few cute pics of aspic desserts.

Hm. I don't really want to buy photos on shutterstock, but that may be the option? Where else do people get royalty-free pictures of random subjects?

6 hours + 24 oz of coffee = working Lisp-y able to sing 99 Bottles of Beer.

(still have a dozen more primitives, then it's done)

#cyberhole #lisp #aspic

Got it to tokenize, parse, and eval (a single function):
\o/

[[Log] tokens="line comment"
(
display
"hello, world!
"
)
[Log] program=line comment
display,hello, world!
[Log] RUN: line comment
[Log] RUN: display,hello, world!
[Log] eval display,hello, world!
[Log] evalArg hello, world!
[Log] display: hello, world!
[Log] hello, world! (aspic.js, line 119)

Am I good? I'm OK. Did past Mark (ca.2009) kick all available ass? YES.

Gotta write all the rest of the primitives.
