Just finished up my jam project &calx with some blog posts: https://handmade.network/p/810/calx/blog and a github repo: https://github.com/NoxNode/calx
A recap of my jam experience:
- I got a feel for how programming in an ASCII hexdump of machine code really is like (for those curious here's a video of me in the middle of it: https://assets.media.handmade.network/397078c9-2d58-42c8-b331-f97a4cf5c1ee/calx_clip.mp4 )
- because programming in an ASCII hexdump is in fact really tedious and difficult, I started making a simple editor for machine code that attempts to show a forth-like higher level representation of the code that you can edit at that higher level OR still edit the hexadecimal directly (more details in first update post in the blog)
- then I made a very basic calculator app (screenshot attached) that can do decimal/hexadecimal integer arithmetic operations (+ - / *)
although I intended to make the calculator app in machine code, I actually ended up making it in C all on this last day just cuz I wanted to get it done and I wasn't going to if I had to finish the machine code editor first.
I learned a lot, had fun, and hope to continue improving the calculator and editor :handmadeThumbsUp:
