I was bored last night, didn't want to sleep, so I stayed awake a lot longer without sleep just to announce this:
Hibernation is Coming.

Yes, I said it. Hibernation. The very thing that people wanted from the start is now _almost here.
I got immibis's Lua in Lua sourcecode from his VERY old forum post ( http://www.computerc...written-in-lua/ ) And now I am adding features, stability improvements, and even hibernation.

I already made it so that you can never go too long without yielding, so I'm going to tackle this challenge.


I'll update the forum post as I get more code done.

OK. More updates.
Here is some beta hibernation data for a program WHILE it was executing.

Here is the program.

Looking through the data, I found that the program stored it's state on the 3rd line, term.clear. It's pretty hard to observe so I might have to put the info into another file.

UPDATE:
I now have file loading working. It just resumed the program

Sweet! I was thinking of making some sort of Lua in Lua emulator myself, but now I don't have to. Thanks for that link! Also, what OS is that?

[ds84182]

Ubuntu with the Gnome WM.

Ok, this isn't completely abandoned, but I am moving my code from Lua In Lua to Bytecode Emulation. That way it will be more accurate, and less of a hassle to fix bugs with generation of Abstract Syntax Trees, actually interpreting the code, ect. I do have a little less than half of Lua's Virtual Machine emulated, and I'm going to say this: Lua has a very umm... robust Virtual Machine... Yeah, sarcasm.

bytecode inturpreting is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier than normal lua
and faster
