Noice. I wonder if fixed points are quite efficient on z80. Kristaba once did a small fixed point utility and I keep upsing it almost everywhere. It gave to FXes a signifiant speed boost for usual cases.

Fixed point is just using integers and wavy hands.

Oh. do you have any work done to make something like a C compiler or anything-better-than-asm compiler for KOS?

EDIT : after checking once more the screenshots, I find your UI quite useful and helpful. Do you have any technical infos for doing such graphical UI server like that? I could be interrested into doing such a project for FiXos.

We have a C compiler called kcc that's forked from SDCC. We also have a traditional assembler/linker called scas that is ASxxxx compatible and used for compiling C output. C support is experimental and has known problems, but if you'd like to try it you can compile and install both kcc and scas and then use "knightos init --template=c example" to generate an example project.

We don't have a UI server, but we do have shared code for drawing some parts of the UI. You can read through it here.

i should try it out too... maybe float multiply works here (it fails with SDCC )

It compiles but I can't promise that it works. We don't have any means of printing floating point numbers so who knows. Here's some code I just wrote:

(edited:)

I think a subforum would be valuable. If it sees a good amount of use we could adopt it as an official KnightOS thing.

Juju invited me to create an account here for KnightOS stuff. Hi everyone.
