Re: OASIS development

>I have absolutely no problem in giving out details about the tools, and even put the sources online. But it is dirty code and the tools are intended for my own usage, which means they hang in some situations, need tricks to work well in others, are not polished, the source code is ugly and full of ...

Re: OASIS development

Wow Chema, great idea to be using ANTLR4 for this! Who would ever have thought that such mind-bending advanced tools would be applied to our humble Orics one day, eh? Seriously, you entertain me with every post, and it is very rewarding to try to keep up with you! At the end of this, I hope you'll c...

Re: Oricutron for android (POC)

Awesome work! May I just raise my hand in support of adding *.dsk files by default in the distro, though? Maybe its just me, but I think its always nice when an emulator comes with something to run on it, right away .. especially for Mobile ..

Re: Server upgrade

i've been using an rPi for just this purpose for a few years now and it does work just like any other web server. Heck, I ran a whole ISP on a system with less oomph than the rPi back in the day .. its just a matter of how much you want to pay attention to it to make sure it stays running. :)

Re: Microdisc controller + Amplibus, do you want another bat

Re: OASIS development

Symoon, I think the excitement, for me .. the anticipation .. of this game comes from the artistry in the story and staging of .. simplistic .. elements, in order to create a titular fiction.
