TED Demo

[jacqu]

Hi!

Below you will find a YT video explaining how my encrypted text editor TED works. The source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/jacqu/ted. The repo contains also disk images in .dsk and .hfe formats, as well as a README file.

Best,
Jacques

Wow, it really performs very nicely! Well done! I will dig into this during the week and have a play.

I start to wonder now, with a decent text editor, whether we might see some decent onboard assembly programming tools/environments in the Oric future .. and the more I dig into the depths of the Oscar64 compiler, the more I start to wonder if it can be ported to the Atmos+LOCI, also ...

Thanks ibisum!

It would probably be difficult to use TED as an Oric IDE. Suppressing the encryption feature would free some memory for the text (around 7KB, due to lots of nested assembly macros), but additional features like automatic indentation of syntax coloring would quickly compensate for this. Currently, the text is limited to 250 lines due to memory constraints.

Syntax highlighting? Where we're going, we don't need no stinkin' syntax highlighting!

Seriously though, it would be enough to just be able to edit files, save them to LOCI, and then run a couple passes over them with a compiler/assembler, etc. Just like the good ol' days..

Haha, already noted that you are one of those hardcore guys prefering VIM as editor
I am way less cool, I can not imagine doing without VSCode Syntax Highlighting. And also getting increasingly addicted to Copilot for Github.
So I will certainly not be in the target group for using an Oric native dev environment.

Nothing wrong with that - the Oric tooling landscape is becoming quite horizontal .. use what you like to use, right?

And yeah, as a programmer, I always prefer to have tools onboard. I hack on Oric to get away from the PC hegemony, just a pure decision, really, to one day see Oric get some great onboard tooling, and TED is for sure in that basket of things that would make bigger things happen now..

I realize that I’ve missed quite a few things on LOCI, and I need to catch up.

Oh yes, LOCI is quite astonishing. It is giving new Oric development sudden super powers.

You're in for a treat if you haven't been watching @sodiumlightbaby's progress on the regular .. the big steps are growing, exponentially it seems. (https://github.com/sodiumlb/)

Check out @xahmol's LOCI File Manager, too, if you haven't : https://github.com/xahmol/locifilemanager

If someone is missing VI(M) there are already VI65 and SVICC - just need to be ported for Oric...

Saturday night fever ... updated my loci
and test of ted. Nice tool jacques, congratulations
