| 07:20 | | * McMartin implements Hello World for Windows in assembler, produces an executable exactly 2,560 bytes long. |
| 07:21 | <@celticminstrel> | Is there something magical about this number? |
| 07:25 | <&McMartin> | It is precisely 2.5KB, and it is also 10 * 256. |
| 07:26 | <&McMartin> | It also is showing that stuff goes into EXEs in, I think, 512-byte chunks because I can modify the length of the message printed without modifying the final EXE size. |
| 07:26 | <&McMartin> | But if I split it out into .text and .data segments it expands to exactly 3K and is similarly elastic in its execution. |
| 08:40 | | * McMartin fiddles |
| 08:40 | <&McMartin> | I have now had an appropriately glorious and terrible idea. |
| 08:51 | <@Alek> | uh oh? |
| 08:56 | < Vornotron> | NO STEALING CHRISTMAS GOSH |
| 09:02 | <&McMartin> | I'll need a lot of practice first, I have a whole new API to learn |
| 09:08 | | celticminstrel is now known as celmin|sleep |
| 09:47 | <&McMartin> | But poking at it, I think I can totally port one of my old C64 projects to Windows using the console API. |
| 09:48 | < Vornotron> | oh boy |
| 09:50 | <&McMartin> | But man, the Windows Console API is *finicky*. |
| 09:51 | <&McMartin> | My "OK, I can do this" moment was when I finally got it to resize properly for the duration of the program. |
| 09:52 | <&McMartin> | Which involves doing two syscalls in one order or the other depending on the size of the console that you invoked the program in |
| 09:52 | <&McMartin> | Because you may not alter the window size or its backing buffer such that it is too small to handle the other. |

| 21:28 | <&McMartin> | It's kind of amusing how obviously the Windows Console functions inherit from the old IBM BIOS |
| 21:31 | <&McMartin> | That said, I had messed up the earlier code for console resize |
| 21:31 | <&McMartin> | A bit BIOS didn't need to deal with as much and which turns out to be a lot messier now that I don't get memory-mapped I/O~ |
