Up to Main Index Up to Journal for July, 2016 JOURNAL FOR TUESDAY 19TH JULY, 2016 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Some things just won't go away DATE: Wed 27 Jul 21:10:09 BST 2016 Still being nagged, in a nice way, to write a WolfMUD in assembler for the Atmel AVR. I've also been asked to write it for the Atmega328P instead of for the Atmega32U4 as the Arduino Uno is more popular than the Arduino Micro :( At the moment I only have the Arduino Micro my daughter got for me. One person even asked if I could write a version for a PIC microcontroller... Sadly, for the moment, I'm finding it hard enough to spend time on the Go WolfMUD without contemplating an AVR assembler version as well. The Go version of WolfMUD is coming along. Although I thought I was loading and using players created from player ,wrj files. What I was actually doing was loading, parsing and unmarshaling a player. I was then throwing it away and actually using a statically created player still :( Doh! One good change I've made is to remove the monitoring of the QUIT command from cmd/parse.go which is nice as it always seemed to be an ugly hardcoded hack. Quick side note. For the first time ever Go 1.4.3 finally compiles from source on Windows 10 developer preview build 14383 under the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)[1]. However you can;t build Go1.7rc3 using it. Hrm, well that's all I think for now - short and sweet. -- Diddymus [1] I don't use Windows except for client testing once in a blue moon but the WSL peeked my interest so I tried using it to compile Go from source. Just because I can. Up to Main Index Up to Journal for July, 2016
