  • Furtual Rabbit Ludum Dare 44

    The Ludum Dare 44 theme is “Your life is currency.” So I created a capitalist virtual pet game called Furtual Rabbit: A Defurred Income Game. The goal of the game is to raise an Angora Rabbit. You have to feed, water, brush, and clean to keep the quality of the rabbit fur high so that…

  • The BSDs and System V

    NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD. They are all fun. They are different than Linux. I am of course talking about the kernel rather than the GNU software that is typically available on all of them. The BSDs have a vintage feel about them. I like it. I wish that it was easier to try System V…

  • FreeBSD Part 2

  • 1hgj 102: Eats Shoots & Leaves (to the left)

    The theme to this past #OneHourGameJam was to make a game based to the object of the left. My main goal was to make a game where a player can fire a projectile towards an enemy that is pursuing the player. Halfway through as I was making a sprite for a spaceship, the idea of…
