I became tired while writing the codes so it's a story told through pictures and a video clip of #emacs.

Encourage me to write it up later. lispy-gopher-show.itch.io/lisp

Utopia Must Fall is a modern take on Missile Command or Galaxian. You control a turret shooting aliens, asteroids, trying to protect the last city on Earth and its shield.

Super addicting gameplay, complete with upgrades based on your score. You can fire nukes into the sky as a last ditch effort, or install secondary turrets.

It also looks beautiful, modeled after a Vectrex game. It would no doubt look great on a vector display.

If you like to read fantasy and want to avoid the big megacorps and want to support an indie author and buy Canadian and you love a great deal... I've got you covered!

I've just dropped the bundle price for the first 3 books in my Arcanium series by 50% ONLY in my Itch shop. You get the .epub and .mobi files for each of the books so you can side load to whatever device you use. And you'll be all up to speed when book 4 comes out later this year! 😊

this one is kinda #commonLisp #McCLIM #code dense, solving two problems:

- we never close and reopen windows (except by accident): It updates dynamically in this one

- Instead of lame straight lines we use some random #mathematics doug found.

- Since the window updates dynamically, I just incrementally guessed my way to the new heart.
