The LONG version was optimized for file size, but aparently there was memory left so I optimized it now to speed. Spend time per pixel is now at minimum...not too much if statements in the loop. Now that I think of speeding up the calculation FP versions should be made same way that LONG versions us...

Now they both have the three fractals (Mandelbrot, Julia and Burning Ship). In both you can adjust the screen size. In FP version you can also adjust iteration/color palette. LONG version has a solid 16 color palette (16 iterations). Internally they work little diffrently FP version uses a formula t...

I had this idea in my head to combine all fractal programs to one program. To get my head in order I had to code it. I don't recall if I shared the long integer fractals before, but here they are attached in one file. I made it pretty quickly so it might have bugs. Anyone intrested testing it? 32K R...

Btw it seems to me that you once asked whether glcc can build programs for ROMvX0. There are in fact three ways to go: Use -rom=vx0. This tries to use some (but not all) the new vx0 instructions. This code should have nice speedups on longs, and some improvement on floats. But it can break any time...

Ok thanx. It seems to affect over half of my programs. Allthough only minority showed some problems and mostly those with console. ascbrot.gt1 -> fixed / showed problems ascjulia.gt1 -> fixed / showed problems burnship.gt1 -> ok burnshipX.gt1 -> ok gfxbrot.gt1 -> fixed gfxbrotx.gt1 -> fixed gfxjulia...

Strange thing. Those files don't work. Tested in Web emulator. Then I used original source code found in every glcc stuff/veekoo/ and they didn't work when compiled. I used https://gigatron.io/emu-dev/ Compiled ./build/glcc -map=32k -rom=v5a ../CODE/ascbrot.c -o ../CODE/ascbrot.gt1 and ./build/glcc ...

Perhaps there is something upgraded in the latest GLCC that involves text graphics and console. I am pretty sure the source codes in my programs are fine but the GT1s from latest don't seem to work. This problem is only with ascbrot.gt1 and ascjulia.gt1, all the other programs work. My GT1s from for...

I had troubles with the usb power connector. The cable tends to bend the connector and after a while it became loose. Now it flickers the power and is not useable. Some soldering fixed it.

Thx. I got it working with "-rom=vx0", but it seems its very slooow on my laptop. My desktop-pc is much better but not always the normal speed.

Hi, I have made in past several C-language programs and I wonder to what ROM version should I compile them? Assuming I install ROMvX0 to machine and want best compatiblity. GLCC probably doesn't have ROMvX0 support. Would compiling to ROMv5a work? I am not jumping to basic programming yet, because I...
