I had fun spending the weekend hacking with nice people and friends.

Forth TV is an experimental idea developed by Tom Schouten. The game is building a circuit with a pic chip (or similar) to draw on a television monitor typing commands on a terminal. The programming language is FORTH. The project is part of Brood, forth development system for microcontrollers.

The chain is computer -> usb -> serial -> pic chip -> video cable -> tv. 

Fortunately there is someone thinking of serious stuff to do with all these televisions around us.
