For my first day, I chose to start with ChatGPT. Admittedly, it’s a general-purpose AI and not one specialized in software development, but I figured it would be a good starting point. My goal I had a fairly clear idea: develop a small game in C. I had also read that for anything related to graphics, it was better to use assembly language. So I planned to rely on ChatGPT to guide me through that language. 😉 ...
Creating a MO5 template to stop fighting the build Lately, I had way too many topics open at the same time. Way too many 😅 In no particular order, there were: continuing my experiments to better understand how graphics mode works on the MO5 completing the documentation of my RAG server modifying that RAG server to simplify keyword management, then redeploying it with the new documentation hosting my MCP server building a small graphics-mode game on the MO5 And in the middle of all that, a very down-to-earth problem kept coming back: ...
On this new day of MO5 coding, I did quite a lot of things, and especially a lot of experiments around graphics mode. Generating sprites from images I tackled a fairly classic problem: drawing sprites in C for the MO5 is… how can I put it… not the most fun thing 😅 At first, I went for a very “handcrafted” approach: drawing in text mode via Notepad, with a space for the background color, an X to draw the shape color, then using a PowerShell script to transform the text into a bit array. ...
