In the most general terms, a procedurally generated world with permadeath. The term's inspired by Rogue[1].

Just a ping to say that's done and waiting to be merged.

Now done.

On it :)

Happy to PR. I'll do in 2 parts, as needs the platformio env as well as UART-aware serial init in adapters and terminal.

There are 1300 commits. What is everyone smoking today?

The snark in these comments! @geotp please don't be put off, this is great work.

Found it in recent days and couldn't have been better timing for what I needed to do.

I have it running well on a Heltec WiFi LoRa 32(V3) with very minor patches to support the CP2102 UART.

A great position to take. Strong opinions, weakly held.

I love to see stuff like this. And an active Vectrex gamedev and PC/Amiga sizecoder I strongly agree with the sentiment!

Thanks very much. I'd forgotten that these were Westmere generation! Experimenting anyway; at least the RAID controller is behaving, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS has gone on cleanly.

This is great work.

I'd love if anyone knows how I might fare with an old Dell R710 with 2 x Xeon 5600 (12 cores total) and 96Gb of DDR3.

Great to see how far this has come on. Brilliant work!

Strongly disagree. Looks coded with love and fingers.

Ahh THAT's what it was reminding me of. Thanks! CEP2 was great indeed.

For a realtime-ish solution I wonder if you've seen Ninjam[1]? It used to be that most evenings one could find various populated rooms; the serverlist[2] shows that the infrastructure's all sat there ready for people to come.

You play over the most recent (eg) 16 bar repeat. At the end of each repeat, everyone gets the updated loop. It's easier to experience than describe but is surprisingly effective and bypasses a whole class of latency issues.

This coherer also must be bumped between received sigs.

are you familiar with the actual game Brogue[1]?

dBase was one of my first exposures to databases. As a largely penniless computer-obsessed kid in the late 80s/early 90s I was big into sending off for any freebies offered in the ads of the pages of UK BYTE.

Somehow I scored a (stripped down?) copy on multiple floppies that I couldn't even use, as an Amiga owner - but incredibly, this freebie came with a fantastic paper manual which I devoured.

I like that. And if poetry can be defined as succinct use of language (perhaps a dubious assertion), then code can be poetry.

Yes, very much so. A ping is a request, a pong a response.

I hoped for a moment this was a mouse pointer replacement that adds a tiny human character, who starts the day with energy and vigour... only to become more decrepit and worn out as 5pm approaches.

There are certain usage tracking anomalies that can be advantageous.

It goes! Great, thank you!

Nice writeup and great domain. I don't know Zola and don't know if this is a common template or a custom jobbie but it's lovely.

I really want this! Any chance of a Cursor version?

glad to have been wrong on this one!

Bryce! One of the most fantastic[1] UIs.

Can't understand why there doesn't seem to be much wider excitement at all, around "our Apollo 8", that I've been waiting decades for (late 40s here).

Apparently here in the UK our schools are hardly even hyping it.

I'm watching it rapt, but also wondering which KIND of leaky will result in a scrub..
