2021-07-20 03:07:24 <rick_carlino1> crc I think the ngaImage.js file may be out of date. I tried to run the `d:words` source file and got errors because it's using the recently deprecated `a:contains-string?` word.
2021-07-20 03:08:06 <rick_carlino1> Err, sorry `s:contains-string?`
2021-07-20 03:08:22 <rick_carlino1> I will be back around tomorrow.

2021-07-20 10:39:06 <rick_carlino1> Thanks, crc!
2021-07-20 10:51:04 <rick_carlino1> It seems that Firefox is blocking Retro.js because it performs ticks inside of a while loop that blocks the main thread. I am going to investigate alternatives, such as a timer-based loop that does n VM ticks per turn so that other browser events can fire.

2021-07-20 12:29:45 <crc         > I can certainly do this

2021-07-20 15:30:11 <rick_carlino1> crc Have you looked at the RPi Pico yet? I just bought one to play around with the new VM idea on. Going to try, at least.

2021-07-20 16:22:15 <eli_oat     > nice!
2021-07-20 16:22:20 <eli_oat     > thanks crc, I'll take a look
2021-07-20 18:33:06 <crc         > rick_carlino1: I've downloaded some docs on it, but not taken a close look yet
