Toooo long since I wrote my last MSX program, shame on me. But once again, MSXDev winners have been announced. Have fun with their games by clicking the "related link" here below.

Here's my last experiment: go to "PC Software" menu on the right and look for the logo, or just click the related link below.

The project planner webpage can read a set of dependent activities with their time length (in days). Click "Generate plan", and the application calculates the project calendar and a Gantt diagram using ASCII charachters.

To better understand how the planner works, just look at the example and play a bit with it.

In the "PC Software" section on the right menu, you'll find a new entry: An AWK script for the Dijkstra's Algorithm.

It's an AWK script to find the shortest path on a graph, represented in a textual form. Don't know who might need it, hope it helps anyway.

Thanks Maurizio for pointing out the error: the crt0.o file available in the tutorial had the wrong origin address (0x8000 instead of the correct one, 0x4000). The original source crt0msx.s was correct.

I recompiled crt0msx.s and replaced the crt0.o file, so the tutorial should now run straight. By the way, the command line I used to compile the ".s" file is:

as-z80 -o crt0.o crt0msx.s

Hope it helps :)

The PCCTS suite helps building parsers, lexers and tree walkers in C++ in a structured way.

Nice, but build the AST node + build the grammar + build the lexer + build the treewalker + adjust the makefile + read docs definitely *isn't* an immediate task. Hope to upload here soon my small example project, bye.

My recent activities weren't MSX-related. Among others, I tried using the Eclipse IDE for a small C++ project; it works fairly well.

Integrating Eclipse and the SDCC Z80 cross compiler would be a nice experiment; if I try, of course you'll be kept informed :)

You don't seem that old. Happy birthday!

Sorry for the recent breakdown of the site; I had a look at the hosting provider forum, they say they had an explosion with fire in their datacenter located in Houston, Texas.

They now restored their power systems, but I can't refrain from saying the silly thing:

"... bzz bzz... Houston ... bzz... we have a problem..."
