Somehow this is reminding me to John Simmons
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Jane Simmons, in this case.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I didn't want to use another name... I do know he doesn't get mad on such a comment as mine... but choosing a relative's name by mistake... no thanks, that's a risk I prefer to avoid

Now that I'm at home, i finally have time to do some game programming, oldschool style. Well, actually far more comfortable than oldschool ever was. I have a crossassembler which is called with a makefile. Visual Studio is my source editor and I have an emulator to run the program. I even have an old debugger, the first program I ever bought, which runs in the emulator and allows me to debug my program in its native environment.
The emulator emulates an old COSMAC Elf (or Elf II) with a CDP1861 graphics chip and a whopping expanded RAM of 4k. The graphics resolution is 64 x 64 (monochrome). This is a computer from 1976 and it would have cost you 200$ worth of parts back then, including the RAM expansion. A working computer at that price was a bargain back then and any graphics capability at all was still uncommon.
And yes, you had to solder it together yourself and printed circuit boards still were an expensive luxury.
Here is a small screenshot from one of the first game screens: 'Your mission:'[^].
The graphics chip only generates an image of 64 x 64 pixels, nothing more. Before beginning with the game, I first had to set up an interrupt routine that feeds the graphics data to the video chip, a subroutine that draws software sprites, a subroutine that extracts the bit pattern of a character from a 96 character font and draws it as a sprite at any position, a subroutine that draws a zero terminated string, a subroutine that converts a byte to a decimal string and a random number generator. All that in about 600 bytes.
You can see how all that works in the screenshot above. I would never have thought that lower case would actually work at such a low resolution. In the old days they always used all upper case fonts, especially to save 1/3 of the memory used for the font.
Here [^] are my new Klingons and Romulans, taking Griff's modifications, doubled resolution and drawn with the CPallini method. Thanks for the help, the Klingon now looks great, the Romulan still like some killer flounder.
