User blog:Moobarnacles/Petitcom Desktop progress

If you've seen my user page or my recent comments, you've probably heard/seen/read/whatever me talk about a SmileBASIC interpreter for PCs. To show you all what I mean by SmileBASIC interpreter, look here:

<- That right there is a side-by-side comparison of the two. On the left you have the actual PTC, whereas on the right you have my emulator. Right now it only supports a handful of commands (PRINT/?, REM/', @, LET, GOTO, GOSUB) and there's no in-app editor, but it's there. As you can see, it can load CHR files (as evidenced by the text on the right). I have only the text CHR (BGF0) open right now, but it's all there. Follow my blog posts if you want to learn more.

Here's another example of the emulator in action. Obviously the header text is different from Petit Computer's (it's a desktop application as opposed to a DSi app and also an emulator, not the original hardware), but you know, it's still there.



Then over here you've got the text character bank using the BGU0 tiles, just for show. :P

Anyway, thanks for reading. - Moobarnacles
