Mini Micro: first public release!

jstrout

The first public release of Mini Micro is now available at https://miniscript.org/MiniMicro/!

This runs right in your web browser. After it loads, you should see a welcome message, and a suggestion to type help to get help. From there you can learn about other topics. The complete API is here, but not everything in this API has been implemented yet — in particular, we don't yet have sprites, tiles, or some of the more advanced drawing functions.

Everything else though should be good to go! Please take it for a spin, and leave your feedback here.

I've updated the MiniMicro build with a whole directory of little demo programs! There's the Acey-Deucy card game, a typing game, and more. They demonstrate both text and graphics functions. To get to them, use cd "/sys/demo", then dir. Then enter, for example, load "typing.ms" followed by run.

My high score on the typing game is 168. Can you beat that?

Tonight I'm adding image support.

Not pushed up to the web yet, but it will be within a day or two. And this leads directly to sprite support, which certainly cranks the awesomeness potential up several notches!

I've updated Mini Micro with a number of new features, including sprites! For a quick demo:

Go to https://miniscript.org/MiniMicro
Enter cd "/sys/demo" (the quotation marks are required)
Enter load "spriteDemo" (required again)
run

Have fun!
