Talking about unfathomable undocumented code, do you remember the QL World competition - that was the original QL World back in 85 or 86. It specified a limited basic program to draw a picture. The winner produced very clever re-entrant code using turtle graphics. Not only were they (he had two entries) very good pictures, but one was entertained for a long time watching them draw. They were a devil to type in as the printer they used did not print the correct non-ASCII characters (or even chrs under 27!). I have just tried it (dragon_bas in QBBS files area #1) and it works on the Aurora/SGC/Minerva. It runs a _lot_ faster than I remember it on the unexpanded QL. It even runs under qemulator - and a lot faster than even SGC. Does anyone have the other program? -- QBBS (QL fido BBS 2:252/67) +44(0)1442-828255 tony@.demon.co.uk http://www.firshman.demon.co.uk Voice: +44(0)1442-828254 Fax: +44(0)1442-828255 TF Services, 29 Longfield Road, TRING, Herts, HP23 4DG
[ql-users] Q60 public appearance in Germany
Hi all, for those of you who would like to see the Q60 in action in Germany or are interested in a talk to Q60 developers: Part of the Q60 team plans to be at the Oldenburg Linux Developers Meeting 2002. There will be Richard Zidlicky (Linux), Claus Graf (Application), me (Hardware). We can exchange the latest ideas about the Q60 and the new "Shoestring Linux" distribution. The meeting is aimed at developers interested in Linux on non-x86 platforms, but those who have general interest in Q60 or Q40, can also have first hand information, nice discussions and fun. Last year the appearance of the Q60 at this meeting was quite interesting. We plan to attend the meeting from September, 27th to 29th (friday afternoon to sunday morning) at Oldenburg University, science building in Oldenburg-Wechloy, northern Germany (roughly west of Bremen). The meetings' website is at http://oldenburger.linuxtage.de/devel.html. A description of how to get to the science building in Oldenburg-Wechloy is available at http://oldenburger.linuxtage.de/lt1999/anfahrt.html (currently German only). Two maps showing the way are available at http://oldenburger.linuxtage.de/Oldenburg1998/ol1.jpg (highway to Oldenburg-Wechloy) and http://oldenburger.linuxtage.de/Oldenburg1998/ol_w.jpg (from the highway to the science building) And... I still see the Q60 as a QL, not as a major Linux target :-) All the best Peter
Re: [ql-users] Movep
Thank you for that shot of nostalgia - remembering both the development of Minerva but also taking me further back to the hours I spent recoding magazine program listings for my ZX81 resulting in substantial savings in loading and execution time. Consequently, I don't think I ever wrote decently documented code!
