And finally got a nice summary stat bar, and skill points (really only usable for stats now) on level up. That's a day's work.

Fast visibility calc is back!

I have an algorithm I wrote like 25 years ago, I don't really understand it anymore (I sorta do; but it's hard to explain), I just port it from language to language.

YASD: I was doing so well, but desperately needed healing, so I tried an unknown potion. It was poison. Alas.

Haunted Dungeon on itch.io

Hey, it's a new and slightly more usable build (still Mac only) of the Haunted Dungeon! You can now use all the weapons & armor, eat & drink food & potions, might even make it down to floor 2 or 3!

You've heard of THE SYSTEM?

Telecommuting in 1984. Better have some serious mirrorshades and blow-dried hair.

I miss good data storage solutions like this. I had a bunch of these for my many EMS floppies (never bought anything else; I think one box of Maxell or something like it, and they had a defective one!)

New editions of Dune:

Joan D. Vinge! Kinda want this photo book now.

DOON isn't as good as Bored of the Rings (which was bad but amusing), but just as juvenile and punny. The spice is beer, the worms are giant pretzels.
