Reading files is done. Now I can include the manual with my OS :)

I've got my birthday present earlier. A working unit of Compaq Contura 430C!

A 486DX4/100 notebook with a trackball 🐁 ~30 years old.

What is most important is that my latest engine works absolutely flawless and with full speed! Success!

p.s. the sound it makes is pure ASMR (floppy, hard disk, beeps.)

#asm #msdos #gamedev #retrocomputing #retrogamedev

It got Windows 95 in German. I formatted that quickly 😉

Now trying to install FreeDOS from a floppies! 💾

Fun fact: most of the time when I swap floppy it stops recognize them, I need to push a sleep button, then wake it up (few seconds!) and then the floppy works as normal. During the installation I needed to do this magic trick few times.

I's an editor now. Placing tiles on grid.

1.2KB

I'm cooking something.

#asm #assembly #x86 #intel #DOS #GameDev

A lot of updates under the hood.

* map is 64x64 tiles
* viewport shows 20x10
* ability to move over map
* edits to the map saves in memory
* scaling tiles added (logo is 2x)
* simplified toolbox
* random terrain (trees/mountains) at start with seed

1624 bytes

More tiles. Cleaning terrain [backspace]. Color tweaks. [Q/W] for changing tiles.

1331 bytes

It's surprisingly satisfying to place those tiles :D

Automatic railroad placement!

I made a simple tool to automate this ;)

EDIT: ...and the API quota kicks in. No more fun :L

@golemwire It was 512b for bootsector. For this game it will be pure DOS. I try to keep it under 1K if possible. 2K if I want to have more maps (40b per map). But lot of this R&D will be used for 512b games in the future.

This is my current challenge in making OS for AVR microcontroller. I got only 2KB of RAM and it's eaten by avery function all and variable used.

In my text editor i started to get corrupted screen as the stack/heap started ovevriten screen buffer space ;)

So much fun!

Road to my own PC...

TV out works! I pushed it to 128x96
Keyboard input almost ;) got some interference/loose cables. I will buy a propper PS/2 connector later.
