Been thinking about rogue likes and little adventure games.
I should write a story and actually try to polish something off for once.
Also BAG QUEST has been in my mind. It should be possible to adapt GOBLINS to extend down the screen into new playfields. That would be the core gameplay […]

Trying to think about what is worth doing.
- BASIC games
- The permacomputer project
- Tamagotchis
- maybe run a small game jam?
- stellaris
- ???

this was a really cool project for the Atari 2600 that i remember from the 2010s
it allows you to make games for the 2600 much, much faster than learning how to code in assembly language

Dumped the disk image of the Commodore 64 version of Telengard, and petcat-ed the BASIC source code out of it.
Holy moly it is huge. Some crazy techniques in there too, like full on print routines wrapped in GOSUBs.

I used to think that 10-liner competitions were just for the arcane and esoteric, and I suppose they are--
but after having immersed myself in BASIC for the last few months, I can see the appeal, and it is definitely possible to go from n00b to expert in BASIC rather quickly.

I need to have a think about SKSLAN more.
I might reboot Friendly Computers a little bit, just in terms of ewaste processing. I keep getting offers for donations and it makes me go aaaahhhhhh

I had a brain wave.
I only had time until after work now to write it out here.
CHIP-8 emulators have been written in BASIC.
How about a fugue on the idea of CHIP-8, in BASIC. A little VM for making games?

Kinda keep going around in circles regarding the problem of hardware, with @permacomputer . I think perhaps it will be enough to write lots of BASIC code.
The code itself should be able to be written out in such a way as to make it as system agnostic as possible.

Been thinking about a lil idea to expand on the CHIP-8.
What about a greater resolution of DMA video memory mapped to the screen?
And a faster processor, and more memory?
I think the CHIP-8 is something like 64 pixels by 32 pixels.
What is the resolution of those lil LCD screens you can get […]
