Search Results for "old"

This is an exercise in some advance programming topics using a text adventure as the central result. This originally began as a project to recreate an old BASIC text adventure, on the ZX Spectrum, using Z80. After developing a very simple byte code VM to handle the game interactions, I realised that there was an opportunity to use some more advance techniques, which in turn can lead to some PC based tools.

...The virtual machine is emulating a 1991 Macintosh Quadra 900 with a Motorola CPU, which Apple used before switching to the PowerPC architecture (Apple/IBM/Motorola) in the mid 1990s. You'll find various games and demos preinstalled, thanks to an old MacWorld Demo CD from 1997. Namely, Oregon Trail, Duke Nukem 3D, Civilization II, Alley 19 Bowling, Damage Incorporated, and Dungeons & Dragons. There are also various apps and trials preinstalled, including Photoshop 3, Premiere 4, Illustrator 5.5, StuffIt Expander, the Apple Web Page Construction Kit, and more.

...The emulator also contains a VDU (video display unit) output / ASCII input simulation. There are some demos in /etc. And have a look to the NIBL / TINY BASIC interpreter in the TINYBASIC folder, most of the code is over 40 years old. Have fun, Theo Heinrichs

A small simulation of an experimental customized Cpu called FlexxCpu. A virtual Cpu whose assembly instructions have been strongly influenced by old cpus architecture (8080, 6809, z80, 68k, etc...)
