01:34 | <@McMartin> | New version of I7 out. |
01:38 | <@Vornicus> | Arg! Need to get organized! |
01:39 | | * Vornicus has source code for not less than five different projects with edits in the past three hours. |
01:40 | <@McMartin> | Also, http://www.stanford.edu/~mcmartin/if/WS/ updated. |
01:44 | <@Vornicus> | Wow, lots of changes. |
01:44 | <@McMartin> | Also, in actually unrelated news, new version of WS out. |
01:44 | <@McMartin> | http://www.stanford.edu/~mcmartin/if/WS/ |
01:44 | <@Vornicus> | heh |
01:45 | <@McMartin> | (Actually unrelated because it was built with a three-releases-ago version of Inform. |
01:45 | <@McMartin> | ) |
01:53 | | * Vornicus really needs to concentrate on /one damn thing/ and beat it until it's done. |

16:26 | | * gnolam ponders ultrasound. |
16:27 | <@gnolam> | Either the speed of sound has changed drastically from ~340 m/s, or I'm reading the echo return time wrong. |

16:32 | | * gnolam facepalms. |
16:32 | < Vornotron> | Sound changes speed in different media - it's an order of magnitude faster in rock. |
16:33 | <@gnolam> | Timing should be from the falling edge of the trigger input to the /falling/ edge of the echo output. Not the rising edge. |
16:33 | <@gnolam> | Vornotron: well, I wasn't planning on making the 'bot start phasing through solid rock anytime soon. ;) |
16:34 | <@gnolam> | Much nicer values now. |
16:34 | < Vornotron> | true |
16:36 | < MyCatVerbs> | gnolam: but how else are you going to make it almost-but-not-quite defeat Sonic the Hedgehog? |

18:54 | <@gnolam> | OF course, a /real/ Trek schematic would have a "Console Explosives" pin somewhere. |

23:49 | | * AnAwesome hates operations BCD, especially if you cannot check a specific bit for a value without half a page of binary operations. |
23:50 | <@McMartin> | Heh |
23:50 | <@McMartin> | The only time BCD is an advantage is if your chip doesn't have divide. |
23:50 | <@AnAwesome> | Seriously. I'm trying to tackle this by giving each digit its own memory cell. |
23:51 | <@AnAwesome> | It's still a bastard. |
23:51 | <@AnAwesome> | And I apparently have to check whether the damned thing will give me a positive or a negative result after the subtraction. |
23:52 | <@McMartin> | Hmm. Are you using 2-s complement or Sign-Magnitude? |
23:52 | <@AnAwesome> | You can even use 2C with BCD? |
23:53 | <@McMartin> | Well, kind of sort of |
23:53 | <@AnAwesome> | Hell, I'm assuming you can't do squat. 'Cause I don't really know. |
23:53 | <@McMartin> | More like 10's complement. |
23:53 | <@McMartin> | Subtract one from a 1-byte BCD number by adding 99, etc. |
23:55 | <@AnAwesome> | Hm. Perhaps a different question. This would be a lot simpler if I could just use normal hexadecimal numbers. Is there a relatively noncomplex way to convert a four-digit BCD number stored in two 8-bit cells (two digits each) into a base 16 number, given only two 8-bit accumulators? |
23:57 | <@AnAwesome> | I also have two 16-bit registers. But I can't do arithmetic on them. |
23:57 | <@McMartin> | Not really. The x86 had a "correct for BCD after add" instruction that handled it. |
23:58 | <@McMartin> | The 65xx, you were totally out of luck |
23:58 | <@AnAwesome> | This is Motorola 6800. |
23:59 | | * AnAwesome really hates this. |
