I have not read Dreamwidth for... some time, mostly because of the issue where you feel bad about not having done a thing so you don't want to think about it and don't do it (now return to feeling bad about not doing it) but circumstances make it easier today so, er, hello, and this is me avoiding a hundred non sequitur comments saying "oh good, you're not dead", it applies to anyone who's likely to read this, sort of thing.

Hello! Nice to see you here. I post very rarely these days, but I do read.

In order to make this comment not be boring, I shall share some trivial but hopefully interesting news (inspired by your icon), which is that I started learning Python recently via https://rogueliketutorials.com/ and am enjoying it so far.

Oh, libtcod! I remember that coming onto the scene some years ago. Let me know how you get on.

Mainly at the moment I’m stuck on deciding what sort of game I want to write with it.

I’ve been roughly following the tutorial but going slightly off-piste — the player character doesn’t fight, there’s a grue but it’s not an antagonist (you can kill the monsters by leading them to the grue and it eats them), and you can keep playing after you die. I might just carry on like that and do things as they occur to me.

But I also wondered about seeing if I could use it as a more general GUI, e.g. I started sketching out the idea of making a star chart (not as in astronomy or astrology, but as in primary school gold stars) with it. I ended up using a spreadsheet for the star chart I actually wanted to make, but I wonder if it’s a completely ridiculous idea or if this sort of thing makes sense.

Yay, hello! Yeah, I've been fairly crap at posting for some time now, I keep wanting to just relax on the sofa with R. and read or watch television or whatever instead. I look forward to when I experience more alert, energetic, creative time for not just sitting passively. Well, sometimes I get up to make a coffee or whatever. Maybe when real life is going more easily …
