uxn

tutorial

contributions are welcome! some of these issues were managed or identified during our maintenance practice, but there's still some work to do! feel free to contact us.

critical

• check blend mode 0 (in progress) --- this affects the pong example in uxn tutorial day 6

Blend mode 0

Massive tiny change coming to Varvara's Screen device

the #00 blending will, from now on, only clear the pixels that are present in the sprite data at Screen/addr*.

pending

• remove square brackets in devices
• update images (to do: emulator needs a patch)

in order to remove macros

this is an overview of how macros are used and what would be needed to replace them.

• in uxn tutorial day 1 they are deeply embedded as a learning block, so they need some rewriting
• in uxn tutorial day 2 they are used to increment coordinates and repeat the drawing of pixels or sprites. Replace with auto byte? (note that it's introduced until uxn tutorial day 6)
• in uxn tutorial day 2 we also have them as example for HALF and HALF2.
• in uxn tutorial day 2 introduce the use of zero-page labels as constants.

|40 @color-clear

( and then use it as .color-clear )

• in uxn tutorial day 3 we talk about a ?ASCII-DIGIT macro
• there are some macros from uxn tutorial day 4 and onwards that are used as constants: replace them with zero-page labels!
• in uxn tutorial day 4 we introduce MOD, 8MOD, TO-SHORT
• in uxn tutorial day 5 we re-work MOD
• in uxn tutorial day 6 we use constants, and HALF, DOUBLE

further possible changes

• make a folder of examples
• whenever we mention the theme loading, link to the suggested palette.

• replace uxn tutorial day 2 intro to colors with a table.
• format and update uxn running notes

• uxn tutorial day 2: divide into morning and evening?
• uxn tutorial day 2: check sprite nibbles tables. include colors when colors are mentioned.
• uxn tutorial day 6 mention auto sprite flipping? maybe not needed

Whole auto sprite flipping

• new day: lambdas and more complex stuff (jumps, callings, etc)
• include uxn5 in the web tutorial so that code can be run from there

uxn5

traducción:

• sincroniza el tutorial de uxn con uxn tutorial
• agrega las indicaciones sobre el uso de screen/auto en uxn tutorial day 6

dance

continue developing, practicing and sharing the qiudanz technique

non-electronic computers

tangible computing

• learn to program turing machines to perform manually like in d-turing
• learn and practice lambda calculus

coloring computers

implement the following concepts as coloring computers:

Factoring Via Graph Three Colouring

publish them in itch.io

and more

• explore more non-electronic computers examples from the references
• develop a computadora de papel simulator?

wiki

generator

• `pre` tag for inline code in html?

content

create and add the following pages and resources:

• page: tabletop paper computers in 8x8 grids / beans computing
• page: 5!, or factorial dance, via qiudanz technique transformations
• page: poñg
• page: manifestos (e.g. human powered computation machines, abstracts)
• page: postcards computer
• page(s) : desfases?
