Hello, world!
Welcome to my Project.log thread! I want to do Advent of Code 2019 in Z80 assembler but I yet don’t know how much time I will need to devote to complete this task and what will be the difficulty. Probably you already know it, but let’s do a recap: every day a puzzle in two parts gets unlocked on Advent of Code . Puzzles are introduced by a short story, one problem and some examples. In order to be able to answer you have to write the program that can answer for you. Solve the first problem and the second part of the daily puzzle, which uses the same input text, gets unlocked. Solve both parts and you get two stars. I already set up my openmsx emulating a Philips VG8020 (an MXS1 model) and a floppy drive. My starting plan is to use carts to run the code and an emulated floppy, or maybe two emulated floppies, to load the input text and save the temporary data. I am not limiting myself to that single model or to floppies since during its life the MSX platform had four r...
