# machine

I like uxn's idea of it being 16 bit because its 0 to 65535 or -32768 to 32767 which fits in your head nicely.

## memory

ideas for memory (ram) is going to be a giant hashmap of some kind, or maybe like picolisp?

picolisp has 64 bit machine words, a cell is 2 words

## types

number (fixed point numbers), symbols (string), cons-pairs (lists)

0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000

tfff xxxx yyyy zzzz

0rgb xxxx yyyy zzzz

mmrr rrrg ggb0 0000 {xxxx xxxx yyyy yyyy zzzz zzzz} {xxxx xxxx yyyy yyyy zzzz zzzz} vz{xxxx xxxx yyyy yyyy zzzz zzzz}

rrrx gggy bbbz xxxx yyyy zzzz

#### 3-3-2 bit rgb

rrrg ggbb xxxx yyyy

triangles

textures

## devices

### screen

default screen is a single 2 triangle square face with a single dynamic texture that can be drawn on it

### keyboard

ASCII/UTF8 encoded values

### mouse/joystick

Theoretically a modern controller could be mapped into 3 mouse/joystick devices

A nes controller could be mapped onto 1 mouse/joystick device

x axis -> J1 -> J2 -> Dpad left/right
y axis -> J1 -> J2 -> Dpad up/down
button 1 -> A -> t1 -> select
button 2 -> B -> t2 -> start
button 3 -> X -> b2 -> "meta button like controller start"
button 4 -> Y -> b2 -> unused

xxxx yyyy 1234

x (4 bits)
y (4 bits)
1 is button 1 pressed?
2 is button 2 pressed?
3 is button 3 pressed?
4 is button 4 pressed?

### sound/music

This one is going to be the hardest most likely, but its prolly going to be something like the backend dac for ORCA.

### network/filesystem

9p filesystem/network by default.

Have an easy way to network.
