BlackJack 2.0

So I spent the last few days, on and off, rebuilding my old blackjack machine. I wanted to create user accounts so that I could adapt it into other games/devices. And thus ToastyBase 1.0 was created. It's a simplistic database system, but its platform can be adapted to fit reasonably well into other projects. The blackjack game itself has been improved in terms of it's performance and
order of operations.



The database main screen shows on startup. Has basic database manipulation options (create, delete from server, load, or the option to start without a database). I'll be adding account editing options later on.



Once database is loaded, anyone can join through chat commands. Accounts will automatically be made and stored (unless it's running in no database mode)



Once logged in, the user page displays user balance and gives the option to start the game.



Game engine has been improved. Still a few timing issues to hammer out, but it runs way better than the first version.



Weeeeee.

TPC65 - History: breadboards and protoboards

Since I was a teenager, something I've always wanted to do was design and build a computer, chip-by-chip. I was inspired by the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley, specifically when Steve Wozniak built a computer, the Apple 1, that started an empire. So, I started learning electronics with the main goal of making my own computer.   Breadboard Shenanigans   In 2018, I finally got around to working with the legendary 6502 CPU and built my first rudimentary computer that barely worked. This version of the computer relied on an Arduino Mega to act as an EEPROM and serial interface. Thus, the entire computer needed to be synchronized to the Arduino to function. Unfortunately, building computers on breadboards is a pretty frustrating task. Breadboards are prone to manufacturing defects that can cause intermittent shorts between components, intermittent connections between the breadboard and components, massive amounts of parasitic capacitance and inductance. All of which are incre...

TFORTH

Overview TFORTH is my custom version of FORTH. It started as a programming exercise that grew into a somewhat usable language. This version of FORTH is a bit odd in that it has no compiling mode at all . Not even bytecode compiling. Everything is 100% interpreted. So, it's essentially a fancy text parser. It also doesn't try to be ANSI compliant at all. That being said, it does support a lot of common FORTH things like you would expect, including: custom function definitions, calling external functions via function pointers, full access to the system's memory map, input/output, etc.   Variables There are some big differences, under-the-hood, with this version of FORTH. For one, there are no variables. Instead, I define variables as functions with a index to the "variable page," a page in memory dedicated to temporary storage. So, for example,    5 0 ! would assign the literal value 5 to index 0 in the variable page. So, to declare a "variable," I would d...

TPC65 - History: The PCB Age

Version 1.0 Even though the protoboard computer works, and I successfully worked with it for months, it has some significant drawbacks: Difficult to modify Making any changes to the system requires maneuvering through a trunk of wires with an iron. Fragile Multiple wires are often joined to a single pad. This requires the solder joint to be reheated/reflowed multiple times. A wire that pops loose would be difficult to reattach. Not worth reproducing It took about three days of soldering to get the computer connected. Repeating that task is not something I was looking forward to. The obvious solution is to make a PCB version of the board. It always seemed kind of silly to me to make a PCB version of a one-off project. But, it's either that or doing it all by hand again. So, after following along with the excellent KiCAD tutorials by Shawn Hymel, I set out to put the computer onto copper.  A tricky thing about computers of this era is managing the bus lines between devices. The most...
