Justine Tunney	2d80bbc802	Get binaries closer to running without an o/s ... blinkenlights now does a pretty good job emulating what happens when binaries boot from BIOS into long mode. So it's been much easier to debug the bare metal process and wrinkle out many issues.	2020-11-02 19:12:47 -08:00
Justine Tunney	9e3e985ae5	Make terminal ui binaries work well everywhere ... Here's some screenshots of an emulator tui program that was compiled on Linux, then scp'd it to Windows, Mac, and FreeBSD. https://justine.storage.googleapis.com/blinkenlights-cmdexe.png https://justine.storage.googleapis.com/blinkenlights-imac.png https://justine.storage.googleapis.com/blinkenlights-freebsd.png https://justine.storage.googleapis.com/blinkenlights-lisp.png How is this even possible that we have a nontrivial ui binary that just works on Mac, Windows, Linux, and BSD? Surely a first ever achievement. Fixed many bugs. Bootstrapped John McCarthy's metacircular evaluator on bare metal in half the size of Altair BASIC (about 2.5kb) and ran it in emulator for fun and profit.	2020-10-19 06:38:31 -07:00
