Argh. I've always regretted not learning Z80 asm on the Spectrum back in the '80s, but never more so than now.

I tell you, that was fun and it still is ... Ever tried to write a vector engine on a 0.9Mhz 8-bit prozessor with about 56kb usable ram and _no_ floating point unit? It is really fun, because there is none of the "software overblownnes" we have nowadays, but just you and the machine with its few registers... Its like a "KISS riddle" When i got that machine in the 80s, i started with basic (as everyone), but i had the luck to have a friend who was some sort of assember-god and showed me a lot about that stuff...

...and i still miss the simplicity of those machines

i cant belive that no one has done a swedish translation yet so here it is:

Arch är Bäst

Emess · 2008-06-12 17:01:53

The Australian translation is slightly innacurate, and only applies to the Bogan dialect spoken in the state of Queensland. For a more correct for, the Oca dialect should be used, as it is spoken in all states.

Arch you little ripper! Mate, that's fully sick, tops.

azleifel · 2008-06-12 18:04:42

The British English translation could do with updating. How about:

Arch - It's the badger's nadgers

Flying Saxman · 2008-06-12 21:18:45

I got a more slang than my previous german translation...

Check ma' Arch aus Digga ey, is voll korrekt, Alda!

Ah, that was where I went wrong: I never befriended a Z80 assembler god.

I did a lot of stuff in BASIC, though, and you're absolutely right. It stays with you for life. To me, "bloat" isn't extra features (I don't mind that, if they're useful); it's unnecessary, flabby, inefficient code. (Hard to believe nowadays there was a Chess program for the 1K ZX81.) I don't care if you've got a 3GHz processor, 2Gb RAM and a terabyte HD, wasted cycles and memory are still just that: wasted. It might not "matter" as much, but it annoys me. Maybe that's why I like Arch: I only have to install what I need, and it doesn't faff around starting services I don't want. KISS is a very 8-bit philosophy.

I'd like to join development of this wonderful project. Maybe I could help with much-needed documentary, (because for a noob to have to type "./arch_is_best" <-- takes some talent, right there...

You're right, there's no doumentation right now. I had to read the whole code, just to see how it works. It would be better for new developers to get some documentation. Reading the code could take too much time.

And hey, maybe some UnitTests? How would we now if the code is working after making few changes?

No brainf*ck version yet?

What about lovely & deprecated PASCAL?

program Archthebest;
   begin     
      writeln ('Arch is the best!')
   end.

xD

EDIT: Why on earth do you censor brainf*ck? It's a programming lenguaje... (I guess some *f*ck* filters?)

French translation:

I took html version and made a velocity version with it:

does it support locales already???

that would be nice!

i think it's time to make a 2.0rev of the brazilian portuguese. The first version is pretty deprecated right now, after so much development...

Love this thread. Hope everyone post their language

Added Norwegian and Swedish to the file. It doesnt work, for me, when i execute it cause of the chinese font/letters and cause of the "¨" over the letters in the Swedish language. Hope someone can get it working... It works with the Norwegian language though. Atleast i got it working without the Chinese and Swedish.
