If you are installing Vircon32 on Windows you will need to make a new environment variable to be able to use the command line executables. Search for Control Panel in the system settings and from there search for Environment Variables. Select “Edit environment variables for your account”. Add a new variable titled “PATH” and when asked for a location use the location of your DevTools folder.

Bootstrap a fairly simple “Hello, World” example, modified sufficiently from any provided tutorial or demo code.

This is a link to the provided tutorials on the Vircon Github page: https://github.com/vircon32/ConsoleSoftware/tree/main/Tutorials/RobotGame

Indicate some potential changes/functions used here.

Some potential changes/functions could be:

  • Changing the position of the text( making it appear in the bottom right of the screen )
  • Changing the color of the text
  • Changing what the text says ( and / or make it a different language )
  • Changing the background color to one of the provided colors( make it green )
  • Implementing your own background( make it Jesse from Breaking Bad )
  • Making your own font( Turn a tree into the alphabet )
  • Adding sounds( like it saying “Mr.Worldwide” ) when booting up the demo

Cartridge Build Scripts

In the tutorials and demos there are corresponding build scripts that will take all the code and related resources, and run the appropriate development tools to create a Vircon32 cartridge file.

Part of your task is to author your own custom build script. Do not just use an existing script, and do not just lightly modify the provided scripts: craft your own, with descriptive comments, that suit your individual effort.
