#527 - Ulysses News |
Weekly NewsletterUlysses News#527 - Thursday 29th July, 2021groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, getting kids tv theme tunes stuck in my head. Hello WorldNips and tucks galore in GotoJSE, this week, as I figured out a way to subtly speed up some of the events that happen. It's not a massive improvement, but bit by bit it's becoming much more useable on slower devices. One thing I've re-learned is the importance of having crappy old cheap-ass laptops for dev'ing on. An all-singing, all-dancing MacBook Air M1 is all well and good for having hundreds of onscreen elements running around at once, in a scripted language running atop another scripted language, all inside the browser.. .. But when other devices end up running the script at 10fps, and struggling even at that, then .. it's not great. Every little bit of optimisation helps. Meanwhile, I started to look into the possibility of using WASM to speed things up. .. It didn't go very well. socoder.net/?Topic=8302 SoCoderMark ReturnsMark Sibly has been caught in the wild, coding.What is he coding? And when will he reveal it? The forum waits patiently. socoder.net/?Topic=8296 What We Did DoJay resurrects the old monthly "What Have You Done" section, which he's inexplicably forgotten all about.What spurred on this sudden revival!? We asked Jay for his honest reasoning. "I upgraded MacOS to the recent beta, testing everything worked ok, and was flicking through the calendar app when I noticed the reminder which I'd temporarily turned off, last year." Good going, Jay! That's a year we've gone without a site-feature, because you muted a sodding alarm. Why not head on over to the thread, and let us know what things you've been up to recently. socoder.net/?Topic=8297 SoFoundBullfrog BasicProHiScore "found" this. Not sure where. Could it have been in an old dusty box in the attic?Nobody's heard of this one, it seems. Perhaps we should track it down on Abandonware sites and have some kind of code-off? I doubt it works very well, nowadays. Only Blitz still works! socoder.net/?Topic=8299 Tandy VISProHiScore also found this.Where IS ProHiScore? What's going on?! Is ProHiScore secretly a ghost, rummaging through old houses, in search of crazy oldskool technology and long abandoned software!?

@Jayenkai  Perhaps we should track it down on Abandonware sites and have some kind of code-off? I've looked to see if it's out there but haven't found it, but I do have the disc so... It only runs on Windows 3.1/95 and aside from me, I doubt many of you have that original setup and I'm not sure how emulating it would be. But that's whatever. It could be a return to Wed. Workshops. |

I think I'm already aiming down that path with GotoJSE...
