I've been programming low-level stuff on graphing calculators since 2014. The platform is incredibly fun for embedded development, so you're going to see a lot of it here!
Long-running projects#
- gint: an embedded kernel/hypervisor on graphing calculators
The unikernel I've built to write calculator applications. - azur: prototyping a minimal game engine for desktop, web, and calculators
But I keep getting distracted by fascinating optimization ideas.
Deep dives and random articles#
