The last day!
⇒ https://compudanzas.net/uxn_tutorial_day_7.html
This was a light day that quickly went over the remainder of the devices. This was the file devices, the datetime device and the audio devices. I played around with the file device and that seems straightforward to use but I'll need to practice with it as the first thing I want to do is build an editor in uxn because I think that would be fun.
I tried the datetime device but when writing to the console I think I'm write the raw byte when really I want the ascii representation so I'll need to look at how to do that. So far I've only used the `LIT` opcode to print things.
The audio devices look cool but I haven't played around with them yet.
Overall this tutorial was really good and I'm happy that I stuck with it through the first few days that were slower. I'll need to build something with uxn before I can really think about if this was useful or not. It was an interesting and fun diversion though.
The final code that I wrote the tutorial:
