#国会図書館 で #エンサイクロペディア・アスキー 1・3〜13 がネットで閲覧出来るんだが、2巻だけが不可。デジタル化されてる様子なのに何故かと確認すると、 #ソノシート 付きと成っていて、どうやら、此れが原因でNGと成ってる様子。ああ、そう言えば、 #TK-80 (?)用 #TinyBASIC (?) のソノシートが付いてたかもしれないなと。っていうか、流石にそれが必要という方は、極稀なので、書籍の方だけでも、ネットでの閲覧可能にしてもらえませんでしょうかね。国会図書館の担当者様。

I stumbled online across the manual for Sinclair 4K BASIC for the ZX80, which brought back memories of using a friend's ZX80 or ZX81. While most people bought it for the price, its Tiny BASIC had some clever ideas: https://troypress.com/sinclair-4k-basic-for-the-zx80/ #TinyBASIC #Retrocomputing

Writing a #compiler is interesting, I'm reviving an old #typescript project where I wrote a compiler for #tinybasic. Now I'm rewriting the project in #cpp, will also #OpenSource it once it's finished.

It will first be a #bytecode #vm but eventually be turned into a native compiler

okay!

the text editor is beginning to croak back into life!

this is a 100-ish line text editor written in Altair BASIC

i have corrected and adapted the program to run on this Tiny BASIC, which runs on virtually every micro-controller board available in the […]

the text editors written in BASIC we found in old 70s and 80s magazines. yes they are type-ins. yes some are over 350 lines long. [sweating emoji]

the people's permacomputer project is crowdfunding AUD$500 for some prototypes, which backers will receive.

please boost and share around.

The game was for a jam. After the jam, I released an improved version which you can find, along with Tiny BASIC and some other games, on my Tiny BASIC web site. tinybasic.cyningstan.org.uk #TinyBASIC

A while ago, I was briefly interested in writing compilers and interpreters. My only such project was Tiny BASIC. To demonstrate the language I made some games, including Kingdom of the Lyre, a text adventure (Tiny BASIC has no strings). It's at cyningstan.itch.io/kingdom-of-t... #TinyBASIC

A Proper Computer For A Dollar? When a tipster came to us with the line “One dollar BASIC computer”, it intrigued us enough to have a good look at [Stan6314]’s TinyBasRV computer. It’s a small PCB that forms a computer running BASIC. Not simply a microcontroller with a serial header, this machine is a fully functioning BASIC desktop computer that takes a PS/2 keyboard and a VGA monitor. Would that cheap price stand up? The board uses a CH32 microcontroller, a RISC-V part that’s certainly very cheap indeed and pretty powerful, paired with an I2C memory chip for storage. The software is TinyBASIC. There’s some GPIO expandability and an I2C bus, and it’s claimed it can run in headless mode for a BASIC program to control things. We haven’t added up all the parts in the BoM to check, but even if it’s not a one dollar computer it must come pretty close. We can see it could make a fun project for anyone. It’s certainly not the only small BASIC board out there, it’s got some competition. Thanks [Metan] for the tip.
