I’ve been lurking around the #uxn conversations for a while now, and I think I can safely say that I want a future where everything I need is in a sub-64kb rom and can run on whatever computer I choose.
I’m on day 3 of the compudanzas tutorial and things are clicking! Reminds me of my college courses where I programmed a Motorola chip to drive some 7 segment displays (but this is way more exciting and fun)
@RL_Dane @brainofdane no, I haven't seen anyone even pushing varvara to the limits of what it can do.
Also, 4 colors should be enough for most things ;)
@RL_Dane @brainofdane @neauoire it's already possible to simulate memory banks currently using file I/O to swap out banks. i think until people push the limits of that it's hard to justify building a whole new VM just to add memory.
Actually, I was wondering if something like that would be possible, so... groovy! :D
I'd still love to see some graphics hackery possibilities, like raster interrupts (à la Atari 800) or something like that ^__^
@RL_Dane @d6 @brainofdane yeah, I mean, my website needs a LOT more than 64kb to be generated, but you can "make new memory" by abusing the file devices :)
I'd love to see some crazy clever hacker make demos for Varvara. That's why I'm always curious about what can be extended/abused for different purposed :D
@brainofdane makes me so happy to hear this 
@brainofdane
I can't wait to get into it. The sample programs I've seen give me all kinds of feels.
It's like it's part Classic Mac, part C64, part HP graphing calculator 🤣
I wonder if @neauoire would be open to a #Varvara Plus (a couple megs of RAM via bank switching or some other means) and a Varvara II (8-bit color, maybe HAM or halfbrite video modes, and a few more megs of RAM) down the road.
Just not a Varvara IIfx. Nobody needs that much power. 🤣
