Toekutr: That is seriously cool. What Forth, if any, are you using as a point of reference for your implementation? Do you envision it being possible to write simple genesis games with this forth? Do you have a project page anywhere?

I got the headstart I needed from jonesforth, though I know it isn't very popular with a lot of forth programmers. It's started to take a shape of it's own though, and I'm definitely not adverse to pilfering ideas from other forths.

I am planning on using it to write games, and there's a github page for it.
The code isn't amazing (it's 68k asm plus C for things I didn't feel like writing in asm), but feel free to take a look.

Had a pretty productive weekend- ported some code from the CS:GO game server that I reverse engineered to the browser with Emscripten. So now I can simulate the game's exact gun mechanics for the sake of practice or learning or something. Wish I could take a couple weeks off work to really flesh this out.

this is super slick, anywhere i can play with it?

I wanted to make a site similar to USAToday's Kanye Self Confidence Generator but change it by using pictures of Ryan Gosling and pulling recent and popular tweets tagged with #YOLO. It's been a fun small project with some nice results sometimes.

Ferg: May 6, 2007; Lipstick Apathy

About 2ish years ago I wrote an NES emulator in Go. Some months back a colleague of mine wanted to port it to Android, which we accomplished in about a day, and I've been slacking on getting that port opensourced. Finally did that today: https://github.com/scottferg/Fergulator-Android

Nearly all of the emulator code is shared between the PC and Android versions. The only bits that are unique to each platform are anything related to I/O (as you'd expect). Android has OpenGL ES for video, currently no audio, and touchscreen/bluetooth controls whereas the PC version uses SDL and OpenGL.

Literally Elvis: Oct 21, 2013

Everybody was talking about Twitter rate limits a page ago, so I decided to explore the limits of that with a super simple script running on the same server as Porktrack. The entirety of the script is this:

code:

from TwitterAPI import TwitterAPI
import time

limit = 36
number = 1

api = TwitterAPI('CREDENTIALS', 'GO', 'RIGHT', 'HERE')

while True:
    time.sleep(limit)
    api.request('statuses/update', {'status':number})
    number += 1

This should allow the account to tweet 2400 times per day, counting upward until forever and ever. It will never reach the character limit, and it will only hit the bounds of a 32-bit number in 4,900 years. At this rate, I will surpass Something Awful's Jon Hendren in amount of tweets on the 4th of July or so.

I looked into how long it would take me to get the most tweets of any user, and discovered this user who has 37.4 million tweets. They joined in August of '09, so they've tweeted roughly 14 times a minute. The only way I can guess that they're doing this is maybe running several scripts simultaneously?

edit: I think the most I'll do this is maybe add the ability for it to automatically determine what number to start on based on what the most recent tweet is (in case the script ever stops running.) Maybe I'll change it so the numbers have commas too, who knows.

Nice!

I ended up putting together a script as well. I ended up using nodejs and the twit module. Opens a stream and monitors for a specific hashtag. Once found, it pulls a random string from an array and tweets it back at the user.

Pretty amusing and didn't take long at all. Currently running on a Ubuntu VM on my home server.

I am working on this, and will restart the twitter account when it does work.

EDIT: It lives (without commas):

The current script will only process up to one million. That gives me about a year and change to get the larger numbers working. The code is probably terrible, but at this point it works and all of this is for shits and gigs, so I'm going to sleep. I'm sure once I've had some rest and get a chance to look at this with fresh eyes, a loud "what the gently caress" will erupt from my mouth, haha.

I'm slowly working my way through BeagleSNES bug fixes and new features in anticipation of a new release fairly soon. I now have a background thread running to load all of the resources for the front-end GUI while a splash screen is shown to the user. Once the resources complete their loading, the splash screen clears:

(Complete with :megaman:

teleport sound effect :3:

)

Among other things, I now have a nice Neon asm 2x scaler, more aggressive optimization flags in the build, some preliminary GPIO button support, and a RAM snapshot feature to allow you to save your game whenever and then pop into it again later.

I can't take credit for the client programming and programmer art (I'm the server programmer/infrastructure guy), but my good buddy has been making a lot of progress on our game "Slammers". Eventually this art will get swapped out by our professional Japanese artist who is helping us during her free time.

On a whim, I tried out Star Fox with my latest development snapshot of BeagleSNES. It shows a large improvement over the previous performance on the BeagleBone Black. My work on optimizing the rendering pipeline is paying off!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us8Bxd_YIs4

Still not perfect, but if I can get this kind of performance on a SuperFX title, regular titles should look great. I also fixed a few crash bugs in Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3 (they use the higher resolution 512xXXX video modes of the SNES) during the blitter rework, so win-win. I even wrote some new blitters to cram the higher-res 512 pixel modes onto the 320x240 LCD3 cape display, so you'll be able to play Secret of Mana on the go with a battery pack and a little engineering...

I made one that pulls the latest dota match of my friend and posts whether he won or lost.

(he's only played one game so far since I've started it).

Are you using a scheduler to have it fire off? or just a continuous loop in the file?

I added in GPIO support for BeagleSNES. Now people can build custom controllers and more easily make BeagleSNES into a handheld unit:

Writing the documentation on this is going to be horrible. The short version is the GPIO code checks for changes in the button states and then inserts the proper joystick events into the main event queue. Since the event loops are all pulling gamepad events from this queue anyway, adding the GPIO support becomes transparent to the rest of the codebase.

Those buttons represent the four directions on a gamepad, the left/right trigger buttons, A/B/X/Y buttons, select/start buttons, and a dedicated "pause" button that pops up the pause/savestate menu.

I quite like the 'last post' functionality in Awful.apk, where you can choose to set a post as your last-viewed post in a thread, so I threw together a Firefox extension that provides the same functionality.

Some boring jQuery adds the '$' link that you can click to mark the post as the last seen post in a thread. It works in YOSPOS too, but not so much FYAD or BYOB.

I don't know if any other extensions (e.g. SALR) offer this, but I don't really need anything more.

Yeah, SALR does offer it as a little note icon:

Yellow is unread and white is read. It doesn't have any fancy animations like yours and it forces a refresh of the page though, so I like yours more! Maybe check if you can get your code into the SALR codebase? I don't know if they have that kind of thing but I think I remember talking to one of the devs at one point, and I think I remember someone getting changes in.
