SPO600- Lab1

For lab1, I was asked to research about two Open source software packages and there input collection from the contributors. For this I have chosen Visual studio code and Mozilla Firefox.

Visual Studio code:

It is an open source software package from Microsoft which run under MIT license.

Visual Studio code contributions:

There is a wiki page from where one can learn about how to contribute to vscode. The process simply is someone raise a new issue, Microsoft then assign the issue to someone dynamically and then the assignee work on that assignment and try to discuss with others to solve the issue. 

I followed couple of the closed and open issues including this one 161334. This one is already closed by the assignee. Here we can see that Roblourens raised this issue called Settings sync disabled due to too many requests. He then assigned sandy081 for this issue. after about one week of raising the issue was solved with multiple commit from jrieken.

SPO600-Lab2 (Experimenting with 6502 emulator)

Image
In this lab, I have been given a bitmap code which will fill the emulator's bitmap display with the yellow color. Later I was given some task to modify the code in such a way to get different output color for the entire display. I was also asked to show four different color in four different pages. In this display one quarter is refer to as one page. I was encouraged to do some further experiment then. So I will start from the very first task. I assembled and run the initial code on the emulator and below is my raw code and output. lda #$00 ; set a pointer in memory location $40 to point to $0200 sta $40 ; ... low byte ($00) goes in address $40 lda #$02 sta $41 ; ... high byte ($02) goes into address $41 lda #$07 ; colour number ldy #$00 ; set index to 0 loop: sta ($40),y ; set pixel colour at the address (pointer)+Y iny ; increment index bne loop ; continue until done the page (256 pixels) inc $41 ; increment the page ldx $41 ; get the current page number cpx

  Implementation of ifunc-capable Software in Python. Python interpreter has a great module called ifunc, which provides multi-threaded, compile-time function selection. It replaces some built-in functions with custom implementations at compile time. This allows the replacement function to specialize on a particular type or set of types. ifunc is implemented as an extension to the CPython interpreter and can be used with any language that can be compiled into Python bytecode, like Cython and PyPy. This blog post will show how useful it is to use ifunc-capable software in Python. We will also give some examples of code that uses ifunc. Plan for the project This project aims to develop an understanding of the implementation of ifunc-capable software in Python. If you're a Python programmer, then you know that ifunc is a powerful tool that can be used to great effect in your programs. However, implementing ifunc can be tricky, and it often needs to be clarified how to get starte

                                          Implementation of ifunc-capable Software in Python(Continue) The language to be used For this project, I will be using the Python language to discuss the implementation of ifunc-capable software. The ifunc capability is a feature that allows users to call a function in an executable file without actually having to write the code for it. This can help reduce time and effort on programming projects and make the process more efficient overall. In Python, this feature is accessed using two different functions: `__import__` and `__callable__`. These functions allow developers to create functions that can be called inside other files without requiring any coding or compilation. The first step towards implementing ifunc-capable software in Python is understanding how these two functions work and what they do. To begin, the `__import__` function is used to load any module or package into the script. This can be done by providing the file path of th
