Nice. A tip: there are 'modules' where are just helpers (strings, io) over main functions.
Kinda like write vs printf in C, but easier to grasp. The cheatsheet will help you a lot.
Another thing: setting up the compiler might be cumbersome, I might post a guide soon.
I am not the author but making it compile well on some arches can be odd (openbsd/amd64)
vs native code (fbsd, 32 bit linux)... nothing complex once you set it up once.
My T3XDIR in the makefile and bin/ scripts it's set to $HOME/t3x0/lib and the bn PATH being set
to $HOME/T3XDIR/bin in both Unix env vars and the scripts. It's a 10 minute setup,
but after than you will just run
tx0 -c -s file
(file actually being file.t) and get a binary. Cross compiling for DOS or CP/M
involve simlar flags. And it's cool as hell, as I translated Ladder into Spanish for some
Spanish OpenBSD pubnix... and the same port will work in DOS too.
On Titanic/Supernova, well, it was a former TP game ported to FPC, is not very complex,
and tons of stuff could map 1:1 to t3x. The game might be too big for CP/M but for DOS
it would be ideal (even by using the T3X 'big' libraries).
The bundled cheatsheet (make will generate a cheatsheet.pdf file if you have groff) might help you. For instance, gotoxy can be written in T3X
as con.move(x,y). You need to import the console library as:
use console: con;
Also, the WYOP book from the samepge comes with a good chunk of examples to play with in a ZIP file.
