Smallhouse Log

Monday

Employed, and started work. As a contractor (much computer professional work being on a contractor basis), I don't get paid for training, but I've managed to do some actual work. More exciting, I've been working more on my game project, the one with the bears and rabbits. I want to call it Teacup, for some reason. Right now I also think of it as the Cursed Fighter, not because of any bad luck —though the last two days have been a storm of (eventually successful) testing, debugging, and re-writing— but because I'm trying to switch from using standard out to curses. I also feel productive, because in a whirlwind of success, Claire and I knocked out the last two gold trophies that had been eluding us on 150cc in Double Dash, and then took the Gold in the All Cup on a more relaxed 100. Yeah, more video game blather.

But this morning, I'm thinking about all my old ZZT games, and giving them a new Internet home here at Smallhouse, or a subsite for Akim Productions. Maybe adding the prototype 'Terminal Fighter' game. (The name came after 'Cursed Fighter', I don't know what I'll do if I decide to switch to PyGame for display again.)
