Gforth 1.0 has been released
Server side on the ZXDB browser is doing a fair amount of heavy lifting. Its grabbing the games from their zip files and, because the Spectranet only supports tap and sna it'll attempt to auto convert tzx and z80 before download too (can't guarantee that'll always work though).
Here's the current basic organizational breakdown of the 286 microcode.
This isn't final or anything, so don't do something stupid like upload it to Wikipedia or cite it anywhere
You can see half of the microcode is pretty much devoted to protected mode. That's about expected, I suppose.

If all the governments shutting down their servers for a PHP vulnerability, all the hosting companies and enterprises terrified by the vuln, would give $100k, heck only $50k a year to the PHP Foundation, things could look very differently. Go make your employer sponsor *today* https://thephp.foundation/sponsor/ #php #phpc @thephpf
Nothing to see here. Just to report that #zenplay now uses the zentools library to export designed games compiled to binaries in .tap, .tzx, .sna, and .z80 formats. All proven to run on the ZenZX emulator, because I can automate the tests running ZenZX in headless mode.
Inching close to a preliminar release now that game designers can start to see some actual benefit from the stack.
In the works:
-- Apart from the already existing platformer and top-down rpg styles, I'm adding support for vertical and side scrollers for the ZX Spectrum.
-- Adding support for progressive stamina/damage accounting, not only discrete lives. Both can be combined as well.
-- Adding support for inventory handling
-- Adding support for talk balloons (similar to what you saw in the early Oakhollow Knightly game prototype)

My ZXDB Browser for Spectranet and SpectraNext is pretty complete now - just a couple of bits to tidy up.
Maybe even get it live this coming week!
I just published the first release candidate of PASTA/80 1.0, my Turbo Pascal 3.0 compatible cross compiler for classic and modern Z80 machines: CP/M, ZX Spectrum 48K/128K/Next and Agon.
New since July: faster for loops, easier command-line syntax, optimization and overlays out of the box, better type checking, and runtime error checks for math and I/O. Feedback welcome!

New need found: Zenplay on the mobile phone.
tired of having to set a ◦<ipv6_addr_of_root> in every address over and over? alias the •<subdomain> in your local resolver’s config file (/etc/hosts) to •<subdomain>◦<ipv6_addr_of_root> and never have to think about it again.
manage a lot of machines? copy /etc/hosts around and get your preferred roots all over your domain, er, realms.
overcoming the DNS hegemony by moving to a semi-rootless federated distributed name system that uses • as a path separator and ◦ as an explicit root signifier for contested roots.

Math takes you to strange worlds.
I'm not using any automation for this, I'm actually painting the Jet Set Willy tiles again one by one in Zenplay, although you may not be able to notice the difference in the end.
Why? Because why not.
