code_stuff

Welcome to my central repo! No guarantees that any of this stuff works, it's mostly just so that my code is safe from accidental deletion.

Everything in this folder and in all subfolders are covered by the MIT license found in the LICENSE file, please read that.

Contents

It's categorized mostly by language- here's a brief summary of the top level Folders

• cpp_code_stuff- Various C and C++ projects
• easy6502- Programs written in 6502 assembly for Skilldrick's easy6502 Emulator
• eater6502- 6502 Assembly for Ben Eater's 6502 Breadboard computer
• haskell- Some haskell stuff
• html- This folder contains a website, meant to be hosted with my MDWebServer project. This is where I'm most active.
• html-res- Various server resources to allow MDWebServer to host the above folder
• mc-datapacks- Datapacks for Minecraft
• nodejs- Various nodejs apps and things
• php- Some bits of PHP code- now mostly broken and in the process of being replaced.
• python- Various python things.

There are also some loose files:

• .gitattributes and .gitignore allow git to do its thing
• .replit and repl-start.sh allow this repo to be edited and run on replit.com
• start.sh- Shortcut to run this repo on my home computer
• old start commands.txt- Self Explanitory; Some localhost server start commands.
• LICENSE.txt- License file, covers everything in this repo
• README.md- This file!

Launching Things

How do I run this code? Here's how:

HTML/JS

The web JS in here is structured in the form of a webpage- I use my MDWebServer project to host it. Here's what that looks like:

cd ~/code_stuff
npm start --prefix ./MDWebServer ../html ../html-res ../html-res/server-exts

But that's long and awkward, so I chucked it in a shell script and now all you have to do is ./start.sh. I should note that this expects a copy of MDWebServer the code_stuff folder; clone it from Github.

6502 Stuff

There's a handful of 6502 assembly programs, which target a handful of platforms. Most of them are for Ben Eater's Breadboard Computer. I'm using the vasm assembler to assemble:

./vasm6502_oldstyle -Fbin -dotdir [insert filename here]

and a tool called minipro to write it to the EEPROM:

minipro -p AT28C256 -w a.out

However, some of the programs are meant for Skilldrick's Easy6502 Emulator, which has an assembler built in- just copy and paste.

haskell

Most of these are just small experimental test, run with GHCi

mc-datapacks

In order to use datapacks in a minecraft world, you need to add them to that world's datapacks folder, then reload the the game with /reload.

nodejs

These are all standard nodejs apps; use cd [project] followed by npm start to launch them. You may also need to do npm install to get dependancies.

php

This used to be part of the HTML/JS webpage, as I used php's built-in server, but since then I switched to MDWebServer and none of these things really work anymore. You can still run them (if you want) with

php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 -t php

(You can use a different address or port)

python

This is all Python 3, so run accordingly. (python3 [file] [options])

EV3_codestuff

Everything in the ev3-stuff folder is meant to be run on a Lego Mindstorms EV3 Brick running EV3Dev, a 3rd party alternate OS for the EV3. I usually download and run it using the VSCode EV3Dev Extention, see here or on EV3Dev's website for more info.

Website files

You are probably aware by now that there is a website inside this repo, located in the html folder. But what's inside?

• 6502- Contains various attemps at emulating a 6502 computer.
• blockDiagram- A diagram editor- one of my longest running projects
• blog- Test blog pages, part of the MDWebServer project.
