A joke landing page, demonstrating modem speeds and showing off my twitter (for how long...) and github activity. Send me a pgp message, I'd love to try it out :D

I was playing with Typescript and created a small text adventure game to make my retro themed home more geeky.

Wdyt?

I would be really really happy if someone could boot it on a real machine and made a photo of it...

On: Show HN: Mandelbrot Set in a Bootloader

Time to time I feel a need going back to the good old days and recently ran into some really old stuff from my childhood.

While browsing my archives I found a mandelbrot set drawer I wrote around 1998 or so in C for DOS.

I decided to give it a twist and revise my memories about 16 bit real mode assembly so I rewrote it from scratch.

Also added mouse support for zooming in and out and wrapped it in a bootloader because why not....

Are you guys like me enjoying these ancient environments?

One interesting way to extend this is to implement ‘call with current continuation’ or call/cc from Scheme. It’s a great challenge. I’ve done it in the past with rewriting the interpreter to continuation passing style. This also make it easy to implement breakpoints and a whole debugger for the interpreter. I still have it running here: https://csokavar.hu/projects/mini-scheme/
