still thinking about the common lisp tamagotchi

apart from the simple common mini games of up-down, higher-lower, left-right, i want to include a little shop where you can buy foodstuffs and reskin your virtual pet.

bear in mind a lot of this rewrite in common lisp is to make preparation to port to ulisp so i can actually physically realise the lil game.

so i want to be able to fit everything onto a 16x2 LCD character screen. i do not imagine this will be difficult as the pet itself is a one-line emoticon.

@aartaka it's a tamagotchi written in common lisp, this time!

It's incredible how much time people dedicate to getting mad about D&D changes when you can just like homebrew stuff or find another damn system. It's not like a closed source video game or anything

Commission offer

Would anyone be willing to accept payment to rebuild this web site for my open source project (just the main page, at least for now) to make it look better and better highlight the three main pieces of information that it contains (summary, link to web version and links to downloads)?

https://kapdemo.dhsdevelopments.com/

If so, how much do I need to pay?

vidak vidak
@tonicfunk yeah it will have an inventory system and a lil chatbot function inside its shop function

Creating TeleDisk images for a few more copy protected DOS games. Looks like there are some weird sector sizes! Let's hope they will work as intended.

"i never used a computer again"

A man named Velver sleeps soundly in his humble home. "It was a night like no other. I powered down the machine after my evening sermon of preaching the good word of VIM to the heretics in the comments section and then went to sleep." "The room was engulfed in complete darkness, when I was awoken by the sound of fluttering packets and could just begin to make out the shape of a being towering over my bed, struggling to fit inside my small room." "In what can be best described as thunderous voice, it addressed me directly:" FOSSANGEL speaks to Velver: "VELVER ZEDNAR, I AM THE ANGEL OF FOSS: ED(1) IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR."

The Spreadsheet Microcassette Future
http://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2024/09/programming-convergent-workslates.html

That's the 1983 Convergent WorkSlate, a one-of-a-kind handheld system from some misty alternate history where VisiCalc ruled the earth. Indeed, even the "software" packages Convergent shipped for it — on microcassette, which could store voice memos and data — were nothing more than cells and formulas in a worksheet. The built-in modem let you exchange data with other Workslates (or even speak over the phone to their users), and it came with a calculator desk accessory and a rudimentary terminal program, but apart from those creature comforts its built-in spreadsheet was the sole centre of your universe. And, unlike IAI and the Canon Cat, I've yet to find any backdoor (secret or otherwise) to enable anything else.
