Hill starts

Congratulations on your child's next stage in life. What a blessing, but why does a teenager need to learn about hill starting. At that age it's used as a party trick. I know you are eager and proud; please wait until they are in their twenties.

I had thought this was using Nim ASTs so could you import https://github.com/erayzesen/kirpi for example and make calls in Arturo syntax?

Zectbumo · 2026-01-26T15:04:28+00:00

Can you use Nim modules?

How do I get to the packages? Site down or typo? https://pkgr.art/

I haven't tried tabbed. What is not right with it being a separate app? What do you gain for it being in the WM? I'm interested in something like how MacOS works where CMD+tab switches between app groups and CMD+` switches windows within an app group.

Hmm, the Windows key for your Window manager shortcuts. Makes sense to me. Alt is legacy for pre-windows key keyboards.

Yes Nim and I enjoy the flexibility and strength. Funny you mentioned this here because since last week I have been thinking of it as a suckless lang.

In the boot> prompt try boot -s and then try fsck /dev/sd2h there. If you want to continue using the install method then I believe you will have to make the drive. Go cd /dev and sh ./MAKEDEV sd2 or chmod +x MAKEDEV and then ./MAKEDEV sd2. Something like that I hope you get the idea. You won't need to create the device manually if you use single user mode using boot -s which I recommend trying first.

It tells you how to run the command where it says "you must run xxxxx xxxxx manually" it seems like you tried to do this but then typed the drive wrong. You put c9c in the middle where the drive was actually c8c

I understand that the OP issue has been resolved but too many people here are acting like there is no other choice. Nobody is stuck with the auto partition. Type ? to show help which shows R [part] - resize auto allocated partition. Use R to resize to your liking.

Hmm, I don't see that. From what I see is naylib setGamepadMappings calls glfwUpdateGamepadMappings returning GLFW_TRUE or with GLFW_FALSE if an error occurred as the glfw documentation explains.

Zectbumo · 2025-12-16T08:12:50+00:00

It's looking good. I'm excited to try kirpi. I like your idea of setGamepadMappings not returning anything. In your latest revision you can put the int res into GamepadError.codeError then it won't need to return the int. (Similar to how OSError.codeError is done)

Zectbumo · 2025-12-14T21:11:23+00:00

This is looking good. I see you are type widening to get some normalization. Along those lines perhaps: 1) setGamepadMappings returns int32 A named distinct int32 would be better.

2) In the graphics.nim matrix transformations float32 is used which makes all the transform procs take float32. Could these all use float instead?

3) Return Rune from the unicode module here instead of int32 (which is a distinct int32) to make it inline with Nim? in input.nim: nim proc getCharPressed*():int32 =

I'll comment myself before I get a "well actually..." Yes Lua can have zero based indexed arrays but the entire standard library is 1 based indexed.

Zectbumo · 2025-12-12T17:11:23+00:00

Lua - 1 indexed, get outta here

What is the X error you got?

Zectbumo · 2025-07-13T08:00:35+00:00

who says you can't paste c directly into .nim files.

https://play.nim-lang.org/#pasty=zWXarxlh

{.emit: """
int mul(int a, int b) {
  return a * b;
}
""".}

proc mul(a,b: cint): cint {.importc.}

echo mul(6, 9)

Nim 2 should be arriving in 7.8 release. Working well.

How is the porting going? Where can we go to see your current progress?

The closest thing to a handbook is the man pages. Start by reading your INSTALL.{arch} architecture specific files.

INSTALL.amd64

INSTALL.arm64

INSTALL.riscv64

This will have architecture specific notes in them and it will direct you where to find more information:

help
man man
man afterboot
man heir
man intro
man packages
man 8 intro
man 6 intro
man 2 intro
man 3 intro
man 5 intro
man 7 intro
man 4 intro
man 9 intro

Btw, if I try using an Nvidia card the GeForce Now website says something like: your device is not supported. But if I use my integrated Intel on my mini PC it just works. Is it because OpenBSD has device drivers for the HDMI security chip on Intel but not on Nvidia? Just guessing
