In 1943, he became literary editor of the Tribune, a weekly left-wing magazine. However by then they had escaped from Spain and returned to England.īetween 19, Orwell worked on propaganda for the BBC. Orwell and his wife were accused of "rabid Trotskyism" and tried in absentia in Barcelona, along with other leaders of the POUM, in 1938. Later the organization that he had joined when he joined the Republican cause, The Workers Party of Marxist Unification (POUM), was painted by the pro-Soviet Communists as a Trotskyist organization (Trotsky was Joseph Stalin's enemy) and disbanded. Orwell was severely wounded when he was shot through his throat. In addition to his literary career Orwell served as a police officer with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma from 1922-1927 and fought with the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War from 1936-1937. His work is marked by keen intelligence and wit, a profound awareness of social injustice, an intense opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language, and a belief in democratic socialism. Eric Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English author and journalist.

On Mac you will need to go to the ‘Build Phases’ XCode project settings tab and add the amework and amework for the project to link. Simply create a new empty XCode/Visual Studio project and add glwt.(cpp/mm) and glwt.h to the project. Return glwt_init("Hello, GLWT!", 800, 600, false) This main.c will get you started: #include "glwt.h" The whole thing is pretty bare bones at the moment so I wouldn’t recommend you actually use it right now. So I’ve decided to write my own window and platform abstraction library which will grow over time as I develop my other personal projects. Libraries such as SDL can manage this for you very well but feel overkill when you’re starting out. Inspired by the fantastic stb libraries by Sean Barrett I got tired of spending hours messing about trying to get an OpenGL context up and running. I’ve thrown the whole source code of the thing up on github - take a look! Overall it’s been a pretty fun project to hack around with so far. I’m currently focused on writing some cpu unit tests for the whole thing to find and fix those faulty instructions, but it is a huge task and is taking me a while. In addition the sprite rendering has an off by one error somewhere (a faulty instruction somewhere?) meaning the blocks are shifted down by 1. So there is just about enough there for you to get through the menus, watch the demo mode and play a game of tetris! There are some crazy bugs though - I’ve not implemented the hardware used for random number generation so you only get square blocks falling from the top of the screen making for a less than entertaining game of tetris. I’m also using my own GLWT library to create a window and make an OpenGL context. I also wrote a GPU debugger, memory inspector and disassembler using imgui that can be used to find emulator bugs. The current status of the project is that I’ve implemented most of the CPU opcodes, GPU emulation and memory bank controller emulation required to get tetris up and running. I’ve been messing about with emulators! The GB hardware is very well documented with lots of interesting blog posts on the topic so I’ve decided to have a go at writing a gameboy hardware emulator myself. |
