Hi, thanks to all of you for your helpful replies. Was a little swamped with work and didn't find time to revisit the amForth-on-Pong problem... But with your comments so far, I think I'll give up on that idea. Luckily I now have a half-assembled Uzebox with some first vital signs (including a working grayscale video output), maybe this platform will prove to be more tolerant WRT my amForth ambitions (but maybe not before New Year).

Good to know, but it looks lika arduboy does not use the physical UART pins [3], so maybe amForth could "just work" using those (at least if you assemble your arduboy yourself anyway). > uzebox features an atmega644 controller. Now that I use routinely and > it has plenty of space. Yes, time invested in getting amForth onto Uzebox will be better spent than trying to make the Atmega-8 port work. Partitioning the memory and adding some inter-call code may even provide a simple way to integrate "official" C/assembler board-support code (i.e. video, sound & controller interface) with amForth. Something like this [1-2] comes to my mind. Uzebox does not have a serial connector by default, but the corresponding pins are unused, so no obstacles there. > Dear David, you picked a new time sink, it seems. :-) Unfortunately, a new time sink picked me :) At least this is making Playstations and Nintendo Switches look very boring in comparison :) cheers, David [1] http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/euroforth/ef10/papers/ertl.pdf [2] https://forth-ev.de/wiki/res/lib/exe/fetch.php/vd-archiv:4d2010-04.pdf ; see definition of "call1" [3] https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/standard14/uploads/arduboy/original/2X/0/0f375e1fd71a1f596d9d182cec7916bceacc50fd.png _______________________________________________ Amforth-devel mailing list for http://amforth.sf.net/ Amforth-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amforth-devel
