Re: Lowtax is dead. Help his kids.

Once the money started getting serious and LadyA's "just wire it all to me" plan sounded increasingly sketch, the friend hired a lawyer to set up a trust. Good on her.

Re: Lowtax is dead. Help his kids.

I don't want to throw a wrench into anyone that is trying to help, but LadyA's claims the GFM is going "to the kids" would be easier to take at face value if she'd been in contact with the other ex to talk about how that will be distributed. (AFAIK that's not happened) As I've learned from...

Re: writers block when designing puzzles

When I got stuck designing a puzzle for Kunger, I just thought about the people who put the puzzle there and worked backward. Who put puzzles among the dead? Are they there to spite, honor, or protect the world from those buried there? If it were me I'd stick with something simple and classic: give ...

Re: Fork help: Color coded Scroll text implementation

Re Multi-color lines: For line interpolation in Kunger Binb, I set up a parallel procedure to readLineToEnd called readLineToChar(char c), which will stop when it reaches the char in question. That would allow you to change colors partway through by interrupting with an otherwise unused char (I was ...

Re: No player hole on title?

If I remember correctly I tried a 00-0A and got crashes, 0B worked, which is why 0B stuck in my mind. Then I didn't end up using it ever mostly because I forgot I'd discovered it.

Re: No player hole on title?

okay, here's how you no hole there is a spot just off the screen where the monitor will still read keypresses that spot is (in hex) 3E 0B at least I think it is, it might be 3F 0B or 3D 0B, but the Y value is 0B (I'm 99% sure) and it's definitely 2 squares off the edge of the screen to the right (in...

Re: encyclopedia?

I made a parallax starfield once. I think it's even in a game somewhere. Here is how: Create an object with high +x or -x walk offset, like between 2 and 8, and cycle 1. "#walk opp flow" will multiply the run speed by -1 (which retains this high walk speed), so by creating an object with c...

An inventory management object to be kept somewhere on the screen would look something like: @bag #cycle 1 :x #end :out #give torches 1 #if not empty9 a #if...
