Im wiring in 20 buttons around the LCD on my GP2X .
keys :
1. First will be a PEEK/POKE ,
2. a dictionary entry creator .
3 , 4 , 5 will launch those
dictionary entries .
It will work like a Forth Dictionary .

LCD will display boxes next to each key .
Icons / images / or text in that box will
change each time you hit that key .
You are 'drilling" down the " levels" of that key .

a main UP key will quckly return you to top of that key ,
if you are confused .

This speeds up learning /remembering ur own key assignments .
A key can launch anything , from a program to a tiny thread !

You can create programs in minutes , and debug by tracing
in place , no need to recompile .

You will never need a WERTY keyboard again .

I got this idea years ago when a DOS batch file author , assembled
some executable code from a .BAT file !
He created a very useful xxxxx.COM executable under DOS , from
a xxxx.BAT file ! Clever !!

You can avoid NASM and C++ to create the dictionary entries
that will create code at all levels ! You can program without C/C++ !!

If you wanted to , you could assemble code w/o an assembler !
The secret is to rip tiny code segments allready written , instead
of using a full blown assembler . Forth calls them Primatives .

GP2X has all the h/w needed to replace the desktop .

It will happen , because its easy .

BTW breakout board is not needed for USB hub , U can make everything yourself .
Im installing a better EXT connector .

Perhaps too much of it makes you loose your grasp on reality ?
This is frightening. :unsure:

Kids, don't code all days and night without rest. Halt from time to time at least once every two hours,
have some food (brain need sugar not fat, fruits are OK), get out from time to time, meet some friends if you
still have some, otherwise get a pet and talk to it, and don't have sex (has it alters the perseption of reality also).


Or, was it a test of some sort of IA ?

The brain only needs 15% of its energy as sugar. I can make up the rest with ketones.

Don't have sex at all, or don't have sex with animals?

FYI werty is a well known troll on comp.lang.forth where he often discusses some inspired and some insane ideas about forth on the GP2X. Please don't take this as an insult werty, your trolls are among the best crafted I have ever seen and were NewForth not vapourware I'd probably use it.

All trolling aside, its a good idea. Be sure to add force feedback while you're at it, werty ol' chap ..
 
1. Good luck finding others as crazy as you to do this
2. Programming in machine language sounds more barable than what you describe

Oh, damn, and I'm having no sex at all... might also be because I don't have a girlfriend... and no animal at home :p

Bad advice. Stop coding and DO have sex. It clears the cobwebs and keeps you from growing dendrites that will eventually attach you to the keyboard. :)
