Trying to think about what is worth doing.
I like Lisp, permacomputing, solarpunk...
I wonder what a really novel project could be at the intersection of topics such as these.
Or, perhaps I should polish the permacomputer project. I am more and more feeling that a text editor written in BASIC […]

I know it's just a colour, but the preponderance of blue in corporate culture frustrates me.
I am communist, so, yes, of course I would prefer red.
I have always felt that the eschewal of red from Western culture is because of anti-communism.

i think i'm ready to attempt a text editor.
been thinking a lot about the line editors i transcribed from BASIC listings in magazines and books.
the main reason to study text editors in BASIC was to have some way to provide the program as a printed listing on paper.
as i expected, this became […]

Did some more experimentation.
This time, a more ‘open world’ version of the game.
It generates 5 random items for each playfield, of which there are now 16 × 16 = 256.
The item positions themselves are randomly generated.

what i want to do is generate many multiples of screens beforehand, and then have the player move into each of them

Sunflower BASIC for uxn is compiled.
I wonder if that is a necessary property of Sunflower BASIC? I would really like to have an interpreted BASIC on uxn.
Uxn is a stack machine, so it should be quite trivial to implement the People's Computer Company Intermediate Language method.
Maybe this […]

Arrays and string arrays in BASIC are simple and powerful.
I like the syntax-- A(B,C) or S$(B).
Makes me wonder. Writing a BASIC interpreter with a strong focus on the power of DIM and array operations would be interesting.

Did some coding today, which was actually really fun.
I have been working on a game with my girlfriend called "Oats For My Goats", a cute lil 2D collect-a-thon based around accruing large amounts of ... you guessed it: oats.
And yes, in the game, you are a goat.

It is a nice slow game, where the user has a god's eye view of a big isometric map.
On the map, the user can place many different kinds of transport routes and vehicles. Trains, road vehicles, aeroplanes, and seacraft […]
