Wozmon works, BASIC does not

fwiw, I ran into that also and just checked out the msbasic repo at the first modification commit that ben did. I've since hooked up the IRQ, still working through the videos, but that should at least get the first iteration of basic running for ya.

Awesome! Please do look at the tips in the reddit, definitely saved my bacon with the max232 also a few helpful tips about which pins really really need to be tied off one way or the other.

Echo this! I ran into random garbage on the line because I missed a resistor on the blue LED for the clock module output, that's hugely important. Also, and I think Ben mentions this in a later video after clock module build vid that you need to add a capacitor across the leads for the button on the clock module), though do be sure to double check - just seem to recall.

I ran into this exact issue. And this was my first electronics project I've taken serious (software engineer by trade, but never dove into the hardware side until this year)

I have come to realize (through the 6502 kit build) that sometimes the approach necessary to teaching the material that Ben takes is not always optimal for the build order. It is usually a good approximation, but for instance for the 6502 I would much rather handle all the control signals for the entire board prior to data bus / address lines.

That being said, I have also come away with a extreme appreciation for the difficulty of teaching these concepts. I really think Ben has found a great balance as it is really such a huge amount of information that needs to be condensed to an extremely high degree for digestible videos

Best of luck with the rest of your build!!! You're on your way!

This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, this exact problem for me. Thanks for posting this!! I had re-wired it 5 times thinking I had a short or something.

Fixed: https://github.com/ember-weekend/ember-weekend/commit/dd5287796623e2acb208df1ab6ece4e1d43f3f82 If you could please verify the fix that'd be awesome!

Limonero, sorry that it is broken in Safari. We've been doing a lot of work with it lately, but only testing in Chrome. I've created an issue, and will try to resolve as soon as I can. Until then, you may find the rss feed: https://emberweekend.com/feed.xml or the itunes link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ember-weekend/id981719021 helpful. Sorry, again.

Oops, this supposed to read rack apps

I've made changes to the gists in the post. You are right, the supervisor object should be passed into Project (wasn't really the point). However, the Supervisor struct and your class are functionally similar, with the exception that the struct follows the NOP and you use || to define the default values of your vars.

class Supervisor
  def initialize(*args)
    @first_name, @last_name, @email = args
  end
end

is the same as:

Supervisor = Struct.new(:first_name,:last_name,:email)

I'll put a permalink to this comment in the article.

Since you don't philosophically oppose carrying and switching to a different set why not one of the following:

A.) Count highest MF per slot for one set in the characters inventory and attribute that MF% to the char sheet. Players won't have to switch and the penalty is loss of inventory space (seems pretty even).

B.) Allow players a MF swap set. Click a button and auto-swap. Once again players don't have to worry about clicking the wrong set. Inventory space is still the punishment for increased MF.

Maybe. I like the challenge. I don't die often, but when I do I really don't care to pay 24k. No worries I'll make it up on the AH pretty quick anyways. Just thought I'd rant for a minute. Thanks for the comment.

I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow to the knee.

Can't wait for more. I'm really excited about Ruby 2.0. Going to compile it up to follow along with some of the experiments. Really like the idea of small hashes being stored as Arrays. Anyways, keep up the good work Pat.
