RE: Prime retro-gaming: trek!
This is what it looks like when using the 8x8 font (8-bit Atari style) - 40 characters in a row:
And this is what it looks like in dark mode when using the 5x10 font (my design), which allows for 64 characters in a row: I was thinking that such a terminal offers tremendous possibilities. For instance, one could create a windowing system, something like Turbo Vision (a library from the 90s that worked with Turbo Pascal, displaying windows in text mode with the ability to scale, move, etc.). You could also make your own text editor (including a Python script editor) with options to choose the type of font, etc. @Mike, let me know your first impression If you're using an emulator on a PC, remember not to use a physical keyboard. On the emulator, only the on-screen keyboard will work (at least for letters, as numbers should function). It's best to use this on a physical HP Prime. Piotr Kowalewski |
