Cleaning up after a Camel
Now that my port of CamelForth-80 to the Sega SG-1000 is sort of working, it’s time to get it working better. There’s a lot of undone odds and ends and little bugs that I need to take care of before I can try running it on real hardware, so this week’s (abbreviated) effort was mostly along those lines.

A Typed Forth
Now that we have a functioning Forth interpreter on the Sega SG-1000, it’s time to actually finish hooking up the keyboard input. Because I considered this task to be a little mind-numbing, I’ve put it off for years. How long do you think it took me to figure out? About an hour. One day, I’ll learn.

More like SC-Forth-thousand, am I right?
The Soggy needed a good low-level programming environment with which to tinker on future hardware projects, and ideally it was one that I controlled myself, so I could include it on the onboard ROM without infringing copyright. It would be nice if it used a semi-popular programming language for embedded systems, and had an interactive development environment that I could run right on the machine. All that seems to mean I’m finally going to make my first Forth.
