IF what?
August 6th, 2025
I was in the process of finishing up a Tetris clone when I fell into a rabbithole of text parsing. It was a complete accident: I was there, minding my own business, when I just stumbled on a preposition and fell down the hole. Figuratively. The result? A few figurative bruises and a small article outlining the basics of a simple text adventure game with an equally simple two-element (verb + noun) text parser. It's in the article section. Expect a Tetris clone soon-ish. Bye! BYYYYYYEEE!
More compression stuff
April 10th, 2025
The compression article has been updated again to include the LZ compression scheme, it's an all-purpose algorithm that can be used for text and images, it recognizes patterns and even consecutive runs. It's pretty neat and it's in the article section. I may split the article in the future to make it more digestible, but I'm not sure yet.
And a happy birthday to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)... does it still exist? I don't know. I could look it up and all, but I'm too busy fomenting a puppies-powered intergalactic ship engine or something...
FAX-ME! 3: Fax Me With a Vengeance
March 31st, 2025
Would you like at that? It's April already! Time flies when you're eating flies...
Quick head up to tell you guys I finished another episode of Fax-Me. This time it goes through the joy of burying mines and blowing your legs off as you figure out where you put them. It sounds dark when I put it like that, but actually, it was a fairly popular game in the early nineties. Things were different, ok? Check it out, it's in the article section!
