GPL on MegaSDCart

Post by @username@ » Tue Feb 07, 2023 9:49 pm

Here's a proof of concept GPL interpreter for our little old creatiVision.

For Mega this was a challenge! First he had to put on some weight to bulk up from 8-bits to 16-bits, then he had to get a complete set of running shoes to pretend he's 3Mhz! - but after a couple of weeks on Rodent Peleton, he has finally got there!

Graphics Programming Language is the core of the TI99/4a GROM system. There is an excellent cross compiler available at https://endlos99.github.io/xdt99/

Obviously not all functions can be ported, especially those which rely on TI99/4a devices, disks etc.

Anyhoo - here is the POC, with a few games to show the intepreter in action.

As always, thanks to Scouter3D and Mega for testing on a real CV!

Wow! - simply Wow!

I love to play this TI-99/4a classics! And now they play on my favourite console!

Blasto => better than Minesweep ;0)
Connect 4 => So much fun!
CarWars => So hard for me, but addictive!
And last but not least: I am off hunting the Wumpus!!!!!!

Thank you very much @username@ - you made my day!

PS: Mega loves his "MegaSDCard" hamsterwheel! So much space, nice cosy subdirectories, fastest turning-speed and plenty of juicy food! And now even some exotic menu from "Texas" - TI-Steak is what hamsters like best :0)

Cheers, TOM:0)
