I’ve made it to 33. (Well, in a little less than five hours.)

Also, we are set to begin recording the album next week.

My Physical and Occupational Therapists say that, in the exercises they’re currently helping me with (like getting up from a wheelchair or bed onto a walker), I’m now doing >50% of the work and they’re doing <50% !

(These are the same therapists who, at our last conference btwn patient, patient’s family, and all of patient’s nurses and therapists,
reported I was doing about 25% of the work, whilst they were doing about 75%!)

So: That’s an improvement!

zeptoforth 1.9.0-alpha.1 is out, and this release greatly improves floating-point number parsing, which previously had major precision problems, and also fixes float32::vln, which would previously hang if one passed in 2e0.

Still happy to hear about improvements on zeptoforth.

I tracked the drums for three songs today, plus the spoken-word album opener.

I implemented a simple raytracer for zeptoforth! Its source code is at https://github.com/tabemann/zeptoforth/ ... tracing.fs.

Amazing! My research involves a lot of raytracing simulations, and it’s always fun. (Sadly, I don’t get the pretty pictures out of it, just a bunch of squiggly plots.)

I do have to say that this has been a really fun little project of mine.

It certainly looks it, and I can imagine how much satisfaction it's given you. I wish I'd been able to continue with mine, and it's been bittersweet watching yours go from win to win.
Self-referential signatures are for people too boring to come up with more interesting alternatives.

I now made it color the ground based on the angle relative to the light. Note that the dark area is because I had to limit the distance from the light to avoid numeric out-of-range conditions as I am using S15.16 fixed-point math for this for the sake of speed (and because I don't have hardware floating point on this particular board).

I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been able to work on what you've wanted to work on. That reminds me of how during a long period, from about 2005 through 2017 I hated how I couldn't find anything that I saw as being worth working on as "everything has already been done", and because saw anything I would work on as being fundamentally pointless. Eventually I managed to find some projects that I found interesting to be worth doing just for their own sake, even if they had already been done and no one else was going to use them, such as a genetically-programmed robot fighting system and an IRC client. That was before I decided to go back to something that I had tried unsuccessfully far back in high school, i.e. writing a Forth system, and in the end I wrote three of them, learning from each of them in the process.

Got a major feature that was missing from zeptoforth, the concept of current directories, added and working.
