Angala v1.0
|
||
===========
|
||
|
||
Angala (Sumerian for 'bag') v1.0 is a simple terminal emulator for
|
||
Thingamajig v1.1 computer architecture. Its git repository can be found
|
||
at https://ahti.space/git/crazyettin/Angala and that of Thingamajig at
|
||
https://ahti.space/git/crazyettin/Thingamajig.
|
||
|
||
System Requirements
|
||
-------------------
|
||
|
||
Angala requires less than 1 KiB of RAM. It uses an ASCII-compatible
|
||
terminal with local echo at address FFFF, and a modem interface at
|
||
addresses FFF9 and FFFA and an input status register at FFF8 compatible
|
||
with those supplied with the Thingamajig emulator. Do not be afraid to
|
||
modify the code yourself if your setup requires it! (And if you do,
|
||
apologies for the spaghetti.)
|
||
|
||
Usage
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
Once run Angala will recieve and print characters sent to it until the
|
||
user starts typing a line to be sent. Once the line is sent it will go
|
||
back to its default mode. If the server it is connected to hangs Angala
|
||
will halt the computer.
|
||
|
||
A delete (^?) discards the preceding character on the current line and
|
||
outputs an underscore to the terminal. An escape (^[) discards the
|
||
contents of the current line and outputs a backslash and a newline to
|
||
the terminal. A carriage return (^M) or a line feed (^J) inputs a
|
||
newline consisting of the former followed by the latter and sends the
|
||
current line. An end-of-file (^Z) halts the computer or discards the
|
||
current line and returns to the default mode. At the end of the input
|
||
buffer any input other than those described in this paragraph is ignored
|
||
and an underscore is output to the terminal.
