 I saw your ideas for 'embedded' labels and string handling. I'd guess that would be nice but to some extent when I think of it, variables and string memory allocation are things perhaps completely handled by the operating system and or your compiler as in all your high level code gets converted into all of the machine code and sub routines designed to 'emulate' those features. I guess it would be nice for this computer system to aid higher level features since it runs at 3.75 Hz. But hey, hang on there as lately I've just gotten through a break through in my present designs and am nearing completion of a 64 FILT 60 Hz FRAM. The magic of solid spark, DRAY and PSTN put together. I'd imagine that once we get into the world of multi-core single 1 to 2 instructions per frame (with my planned instruction set design) per core processing higher level compilers and string handling will be more viable. In fact my ambitions for TPT computing are to be able to have a full simplified operating system with keyboard and in system compiler. And yes, I am indeed working on the technology for a 50 frame update 120 by 100 pixel graphics display :D.

I'm just setting up an initial demonstration right now that interfaces with the data input, read and write set plus the FILT output. I'm presently pleased with its theoretically robust operation that solely relies on the transfer of ctypes here and there. Once that's done I want to make a demonstration that allows the user to make multiple inputs and press a button to output all its contents in an 'inverse whopping' 64 frames or instead load random values into it. I've been struggling with this design for a while now until I came upon the magical idea to incorporate a solid spark ARAY 'reading head' onto the moving PSTN arm too. I'd say it's pretty compact for now and personally would work towards the development of highly compact CPU cores for multi-cored systems. 

Good day thence.

There's that: id:1751002. Still yet to make smaller, specialized counters.

 Great! that is a big improvement! and stupid me did not notice you can actualy just do this:

GET BX,AX ; <-- that

this worked just fine, so strings should work, kind of...

the problem I encountered was that you cant store the adress of a label, only the contend of that adress.
so

GET AX,LABEL

LABEL: dw 0xCAFE

would set AX to 0xCAFE, were I would like to see the adress were 0xCAFE is stored. when reading the contend of LABEL, you could use GET AX,[LABEL]. this way you can,for example, store the adress of a string, do some calculations to get a specivic letter and print them to a port

that would not work either :(, since you cant directly set register... maybe you should implement an instruction that could set the 8 least or most segnificant bits so we can shift a 16 value semi-imidiant

the script now seems to have truble with looking for labels.. it says: label not found. only when I define the label befor I use it. I dont get this error

Az összegyúrást úgy gondoltam, hogy a te adatrendszered a filt-el kenterbe veri az enyémet bitszélességben, de a logikákat nem tudom mennyire könny? filttel megoldani. Az alapok, mint xor, meg ilyenek, azt ha jól tudom támogatja maga a filt is, de pl egy N bites összeadást (nem tudom a tiéd milyen gyors) az én rendszerem 6 frame alatt megoldja. Szóval igazából összegyúrni a logikákat lehetne, az adatbusz és memória az mindenképpen filt. Igaz nem valami optimális, de azért meg van építve a decimális I/O is. Meg a pipelinet az enyémr?l biztos le tudod koppintani, azon sem kell rágódnod. Annyi, hogy kell hozzá egy-két vezérl? szál. Talán ezt inst-el jól meg lehet oldani. Annyi pozitívum az enyém mellé, hogy a shifter egységet leszámítva abszolút glitch mentes 2 frames kapcsolókat használtam. (A filt-es technológiáról szinte fingom sincs.)

I made a text terminal for the ray16. now, with a litle bit of code you can print stings to a screen!. it prints about 1 char every second, geven you use 3 instructions per char.

here is a code that prints a text to port 7:

start:
    mov cx, string
    get ax, cx;get length of the string
    add ax, cx;calculate last adress
loop:
    get bx,cx
    out bx, 7
    add cx, 1
    jmp loop
    
string:
    ds "HELLO WORLD  "
anotherstring:
    ds "HOW ARE YOU"

Its crude, but it works!
