New apps in the go language

I have been playing around with using go to program the picocalc and I have a few things to share. First of all I took the example code at GitHub - mattwach/tinygo_picocalc: A minimal "hello world" project that shows how to use the PicoCalc with TinyGo · GitHub and turned it into a proper library with a version number.

Then I took the library and built a couple of apps with it to get more comfortable programming the picocalc and I thought I would share what I have to see if anyone else out there is interested in go and picocalc.

First I have a simple app that displays so boxes to recreate a lego computer terminal brick that I saw someone else ( Watt IV – the M2x2 ) do. The app does nothing useful other then look cool:

Next I created something slightly more functional, an etch-a-scetch like app:

I also have yet another rpn calculator but I am still tweeting some things about it. The RPN is of my own creation and I use it as a standard “lets test this system out’” programming effort. I’ll post it’s link when it is a little cleaner (I think I want to add some unit tests).

So anyways, here you go!
