So the first one up is the last one I've been working on, namely, UltimaUnderworld2Clone. This is a project to reimplement the classic DOS-era game _Ultima Underworld 2: Labyrinth of Worlds_, originally published by Origin Systems.

Well, having made and announced plans to go through my repositories in alphabetical order, so that I wouldn't skip ahead to my favorites, I'm going to ignore my plan and skip ahead to my current favorite. It'll be more interesting anyway: the first one on the alphabetical list was "AddingMachine".

Now that I've compiled a list of 219 repositories to be discussed, I guess I can start discussing them. But on what schedule?

Let's see, if I discussed an average of one a day, I'd be done in about six months. I also would never, ever, do one a day, so forget that.

All right, here's my plan. I'm gonna run through all my repositories on GitHub, one by one, in approximately alphabetical order. That'll keep me from skipping to my favorite parts and burning through them in a week.

So, following is a list of the things. Starting with the first things.

Oh, there's also a Neocities site! It's at thiscouldbebetter.neocities.org. This was where I put runnable versions of my client-side programs before github.io was a thing.

It hasn't been updated in forever, though I did make a couple cutesy icons in MS Paint for two programs with no screenshots.

Here's the banner image for this site, taken from thiscouldbebetter.wordpress.com.

It's been a long time, but I'm now reminded that I had another image before this one, consisting of a gray cube jammed awkwardly among a pyramid of rounded-edged cylinders of various colors in a pyramidal array.

Here's the logo I'm using for this site. I'm not completely thrilled about the color palette--too pastel?--but I can't easily change a lot about it, as I have lost track of the original Blender files. Anyway, I tried to change it right after I made it and never found any tweaks I like better.

Oh, here's the Gravatar that was generated for my GitHub account when I started it lo these many years ago. I should change it to the logo that I'm using for this account, but then it might be lost forever, and I'm irrationally attached:

My dream is that someday I'll meet some eager collaborators who'll take over all my half-finished creative projects and bring them to completion without me being involved.

You heard that right: my dream is other people doing my hobby and I'm not there. Ridiculous, I grant, but true.

My plan for this account is to post bits and pieces of my bits and pieces, that is, the half-written programs I've been writing for, cripes, decades now.

A lot of the stuff I post about, especially the games, won't be finished, so don't get excited. Or do, maybe you like halves of things. Weirdo.
