@requiem I'm assuming you're rewriting the pvm interpreter in C?
Also, for the 8-bit targets, there are several options I think. For the 6502, there is cc65 or Calypsi, which @mos_8502 brought to my attention recently. For Z80, some traffic on the RC2014 mailing list indicates people have gotten the CP/M HiTech C compiler working. Its dialect predates C89 though, IIRC.

@neauoire yeah for my pvm I’m skipping any text mode and going straight to bitmapped graphics, but I can never find a simple way to display that on Linux. It always involves OpenGL or some window manager stuff and I’m from the old days where if you wanted a pixel on the screen you just used a pointer to video ram 🤣

@requiem need a hand to draw pixels on the screen?

@vertigo the current version is in #golang currently (only because that's the freshest language in my mind at the moment 😂 ).
Frustratingly the most time-consuming part has been simulating a graphics display (why is it so hard to just put a pixel on the screen in Linux?).
It will be more fun on hardware where it's easier to just write to the video buffer.
