How to Check Battery Capacity & Cycle Count from Command Line on Mac

I like coding on stuff, but I rarely spend time in unreal engine, or godot, but I still want to code on some game stuff once in a while. I think I’ve found what I’ve been looking for to test out - #raylib https://www.raylib.com/ , I want to recreate one of my older (outdated) projects that I did a while back in godot, but make the same with raylib. Also it would be cool to use the USD ( https://openusd.org/release/index.html ) library that me and a friend is coding - to then implement it and load USD scenes in raylib, that would be very nice, that way I get to work on both the USD library, and code some game stuff at the same time, always nice to combine things.

Today’s Advent of Code puzzle was rather easy (luckily), so I spent the day doing two other things:

  • Explore VGA a bit: How to draw pixels on DOS all by yourself without a library in graphics mode 12h?
  • Explose XMS a bit: How can I use more than 640 kB / 1 MB on DOS?

Both are … quite awkward. 😬 For VGA, I’ll stick to using the Borland Graphics Interface for now. Mode 13h is great, all pixels are directly addressable – but it’s only 320x200. Mode 12h (640 x 480 with 16 colors) is pretty horrible to use with all the planes and what not.

As per this spec, I’ve written a small XMS example that uses 32 MB of memory:

https://movq.de/v/9ed329b401/xms.c

It works, but it appears the only way to make use of this memory is to copy data back and forth between conventional memory and extended memory. I don’t know how useful that is going to be. 🤔 But at least I know how it works now.
