I still want to make a game like _Trade Wars 2002_ but online so there's a chance of actually getting a decent playerbase. But uggh, yet another idea that's almost entirely art (even if ANSI art) over programming, plus web dev

I use the ANSI escape sequence 'CSI' '[' n ';' m 'H' to move the cursor to row n, column m in the terminal so that I can render my terminal based video game:

About the only think I didn’t do was add any 6502 assembly code,that would have to wait until I started hacking on a BBS with a friend. I hated how it interfaced With the modem so I wrote my own “driver” in assembly.

I've been inactive and mentally unwell, and highly uninspired to share here.

Been working on a lot of new art and a glitch art event in the background, though. Let's try slowly coming back to life.

Screenshots from my most recent ASCII selfie (full video is on IG) #ASCIIart #glitchart #pixelart

Chaotic ASCII art of a woman repeatedly reaching her hand toward and away from the camera. The ever-changing canvas is composed of zeros, M’s, and tiny x’s resembling Bayer dithering patterns.

Wow, this is nifty -- didn't realize you could render QR codes as text (UTF8)

#qrcodes

QR Code shown on a terminal in ASCII "Does this work?"

I am absolutely racking my brain for the name of this mud I played in 1999-2000 on vax/telnet or whatever

Fuck me if I can get there

It wasn't Zork but you could get eaten by a grue

I spent hours as a fae or elf sorcerer or equivalent magic user, called her Twrya

Goddamnit, I remember zero lore

Dropped into a pretty good flow state last night and resolved an issue with `textual` that was preventing me from moving forward with my #python #bbs software. They had changed the way the Linux "driver" for console input/output was organized, which had broken handling of the ESC key (which also […]

Gemstone IV is still right there, 30 years later, all the text MUD sexting you can handle with other bored old people and it runs on like a 486 PC.
