nano added to repo.

I teach programmer's view of Computer Architecture using C and assembly language programming at second year level - I have been using SPARC
architecture, since every one is into ARM, i am trying to change over to ARM
architecture which quite a bit simpler. Assembly routines are called from C-main
to do all I/O. Unfortunately, the kids are not at a stage to maintain their own virtual environment and hence scp/dbclient to work without error.

Will pursue compilation under piCore further in summer. BTW ability to have multiple terminal windows is very helpful, so, has any one been able to make Xorg-7.6 and openbox to work? I get error message on /usr/local/tce.openbox.xml being bad (it is empty file)..

Thanks for a great environment.

I'm using LXDE myself which is based on openbox. I'm busy with other staff and had no time to polish and add to the repo, but I can do that in a week or so.

Is there any chance of getting PyGame?  We are helping the OCR in Cambridge, UK and we are hoping to use PyGame/Python with Tiny Core in schools to teach them game programming.

PyGame requires SDL which is not yet in the repo. I will try to add it in a short time.

[RaspberryPiTutorials]

Great news.  Let us know if we can help in any way.

Thanks for your efforts.

I built SDL which is needed for PyGame. SDL test are OK except those using OpenGL as current Xorg built without OpenGL. Do you need OpenGL?

PyGame doesn't compile yet, but hopefully will come.

First game added, the good old classic Tetris. Look for gtktetris.tcz

[RaspberryPiTutorials]

This is great news.  OpenGL isn't a priority for us but it is always a good to have.

openGL will come later, but it needs more time. I will try to add PyGame.

On a personal note, is it possible to make the VICE emulator available?

I tried to install it but compilation fails with messaging related to VICE source code. I have never used it and no time to look for a solution, so I'm not the right person. You are free to build it however and if goes well I can help to make .tcz

Added XASTIR the HAM radio APRS client:

Hi bmarkus
As I´m expecting delivery of my Pi any day now, been going over all the posts relating to picore and I see you have added Bacon to the repo.
Thank you for that.
