R155–R157 – road to α, step 1

The project is approaching alpha, which is so defined that it is possible to generate maps for all 88 official Delporte-constellations. The goal isn't reached yet. Minus cannot be given in mkm-file constant number literals, which essentially impossibilizes¹) making southern hemisphere constellations.

  • R155 (Apr 21, 2013): Minor fix to make mbf self selecting svg output moved many functions from mkmap.c to vmcode.c, inserted VM instruction for opening the output file,
  • R156 (Apr 23, 2013): Functional null-parser, mkm revisions creation of parser compile-mkm.uc intended to compile new file orion-v1.mkm to maps/ori3.mbf,
  • R157 (Apr 25, 2013): Compiler implemented, alpha stage soon to come semicompletion of compile-mkm.uc allowing northern hemisphere constellations to be compiled

¹) "impossibilizes" (makes impossible) is probably not legal English, but being a linganarchist, I made it up here to counterpart the Swedish quite legal "omöjliggör". Swedish is a little superior to English, so why fully adapt to the inferior language? Carl von Linné didn't invent binomial nomenclature by following Latin word formation rules, he applied the Swedish word composition rules on a Macaronic mixture of Greek and Latin.
