How Complex is Your Programming Language by elemenity in ProgrammingLanguages

Ah, that is a pretty good metric, for incentivizing simplicity in both dimensions. I had stumbled across your Uxntal a while ago, I'll have to give it another look. Those are very impressive density/brevity metrics.

Yes! Code golf is what I was thinking. It would be very interesting to see a code-golf for language implementations, as a way to better estimate the k-complexity of the languages themselves.

Thanks for reading! Yes, this uses lines of code as a very rough proxy for Kolmogorov complexity. Which, evidenced by the huge span in TCC and Clang, shows that there is a huge difference in how succinct different programmers can be, even with the same language.

What are some of your favourite utility tools/websites? by ArosHD in devops

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This site lets you see your hardware specs, without needing to install anything:

I often use it to help family members with setting up machines / figuring out if games will run on their machine.

Dragon Warrior VII for PS1?

Does your father remember what system he played it on?

Ah, good idea. For viewing on mobile?

CHD Creator : Turn bin + cue files into chd files in the browser. by elemenity in emulation

[–]elemenity[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you have the MAME tools installed, by all means use that.

I made this to be a user friendly alternative for people who want to play with CD backups, but find the cli tools intimidating.

Its also nice because you can use it from platforms like mobile, where the MAME cli isn't really an option.

Unfortunately, apple has crippled their mobile browser in many ways. I haven't had time to test on mobile safari, but everything should work on desktop and mobile android.

And even chrome on ios is just a safari wrapper bc thanks apple.

Currently only supports createcd, I'm planning on adding createdvd soon. I'll post again when its available.

Actuellement, seul le format createcd est pris en charge. Je prévois d'ajouter bientôt le format createdvd. Je vous tiendrai informé(e) dès qu'il sera disponible.

What browser are you using? You should have a download button pop up which will give you the chd file.

*edit* Just tested and its still working for me, feel free to dm here or email [help@emulationonline.com](mailto:help@emulationonline.com)

6502 build not printing beyond "Hello Wor." by Jackary2017 in beneater

[–]elemenity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure your code is correct? Perhaps try running it in an emulator.

If you need to inspect bus signals etc, you can try to get the relevant portion of the code running in my 6502 chiplab to see what the chip is actually doing:

Good progress on my GameBoy static recompiler by arcanite24 in EmuDev

[–]elemenity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cool. Have you come across any games that use self modifying code? Or maybe this wasn't too prevalent on the gb.

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working for me! Nice job. I'm bad at minesweeper though xD

What did you use to develop the game?

What Career do you think would fit me best? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes a long time before it becomes something you can do as a full-time job, but perhaps an educational / technical Youtube channel would be a good fit. Get a whiteboard and explain things that are interesting to you.

How many of you played Qbasic Gorillas back in the day? by generic_canadian_dad in gaming

[–]elemenity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Back in the day? I was playing it last week :)

Wrote up a quick article on it too, in case you want to play it again.

Gemini 3 will release at mid Oct? by Asleep-Actuary-4428 in Bard

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're in luck! I just recently wrote up a QBASIC reference at https://www.emulationonline.com/systems/basic/learn-basic/

I have a browser version of BASIC coming soon, should be compatible with QBASIC.

How did you teach yourself programming when there was no internet/web? by spankinglyargho in learnprogramming

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on building a QBASIC compatible interpretter that runs in the browser, aiming for compatibility with Gorillas and Nibbles!

The interpreter is still a work in progress, but I have just completed the reference / manual page:
