[Astharot]

Hello everyone, i created a TI99 fig-forth cartdrige thanks at jon guidry project.. also looked that fig-forth working very good on classic99. Sorry but i no found a manual.. maybe one have it? Friends tell me that fig-forth cartdrige is a mechatronic project, but is really? I enclosed rom image good for classic99 that for build cartdrige. I hope that this Forth version it is usefully for all.

This is very very cool... you have any pix of your project or new cart?

[Astharot]

Just for looked how work, add this instruction at your classic99.ini

 

[usercart11]

name=Fig-Forth

rom0=C|6000|2000|MODS\FForthc.bin

 

and put fforthc.bin in mods directory..

 

How I can put pic of my cartdrige? however is a simple jon guidry cartdrige with eprom 2764..

Owen if you want i can build for you, but where you live in U.S.A.? If yes, is more cheap purcase cartdrige from jon guidry or another american friend.

Here in Italy, the electronic component are more expensive.. I pay near at 50 euro for build a single cartdrige.. :-(

Just installed this cart and ran it. =) This is the first user cart I've ever tried out and it worked beautifully.... well, I take that back, I did Zombie Motif before... Still love that game. =)

 

Is there an editor in FIG Forth, or is it straight command-line? "EDIT" throws an error. Is there a manual out there somewhere, buddy?

There was a fig.forth 1.0 cartridge avaiable as well - at least in the austrian TI-99 Shop.

It was avaiable since the year 1984 and made by the same author.

If you mean the forth called TI Forth i have that manual. Its callde TI Forth 3.0 i think

[kl99]

fig.forth is not the same like TI-Forth.

 

I found a manual on whtech.com:

ftp://ftp.whtech.com/Powertran%20Cortex/Documentation/CORTEX%20FIG-FORTH.pdf

 

But i don't know if its for TI-99.

There is no editor in the ROM.

 

Here is a minimalist line editor I converted from here:

CamelForth

 

Just put SCREEN0001 and SCREEN0002 in DSK1.

 

LINE EDITOR 2.zip

 

0 VARIABLE CNT

: TEXT ( c -- )
 PAD 258 BL FILL WORD HERE COUNT CNT ! PAD CNT @ CMOVE ;

: LINE ( u -- addr )
 SCR @ BLOCK SWAP 64 * + ;

: -CMOVE ( addr u -- )
 LINE 64 CMOVE UPDATE ;

: R2 ( u -- )
 PAD SWAP -CMOVE ;

: ED ( u -- )
 1 TEXT R2 ;
