have been working on a cute language called #koneko that compiles to HTML
INSCRUTABLE is a strange color-matching game for 1 player. match 3 of the same color in a line, don't run out of moves, and don't run out of time

mentoring at Corpus Hacks today, using it as an opportunity to learn React and other such things
lucy-bot learned about attackers and defenders, which might help her calm down just a bit
lucy-bot learned about captures and checks. now she'll use them to perform a dead-simple evaluation
wrote a chess bot!
have been working on an (emulated) version of the ABCO-1 with extra powerups: more memory, a screen device, and self-modification. here is the so-called ABCO-2 drawing the pattern (x ^ y) % 9
added nets to cirno
cirno day 15
late night datasheet
cirno day 14
ha! trick post! no cirno today! here's Litten
cirno day 13
incredibly, using the "mem" package didn't work!
we're distracted trying to think about how to implement memoization on our own.
cirno day 12
super busy today! we're hanging onto this tab for the future - we were thinking about memoizing the results of parsing chips.
cirno day 11
first ex mode command was added.
at this point, next steps might involve adding nets and wires, so that pins can be tied to ground or 5V.
cirno day 10
extra! extra! chip drawing is here! get your chips drawn! plus more!cirno day 9
the parse function now returns an object, which parsing rules can mutate. also, there are new filetypes.
drawing chips to the screen is still several days away, but we're getting there!
cirno day 8
in the process of changing some signatures around
cirno day 7
starting to lay down the foundation for project parsing.
total SLOC: 374.
cirno day 6
learned this weird use of the optional chaining syntax while trying to dream up more errors to throw.
thinking about letting errors stack.
cirno day 5
cirno learned that a valid project file starts with "type project", and will complain if yours doesn't.
it will continue doing its thing after this, not quit the whole program.
cirno day 4
here is the first idea of what object code could look like, seen here as part of a quad 2-input AND gate.
one may notice such facts as "position is often inferred" and "there is no parser for this language yet".
cirno day 3
not a lot of time today, but there was this new concept from yesterday - the at.
there are no objects for it to see, so an important task in the near future will be to make up some language to fix that.
cirno day 2
ex mode is looking good! it's not wired up to any commands, though.
there's normal mode, too, of course, but it'll probably get some functionality tomorrow, not today.
"cirno" day 1
revived an old project, changing its name and avoiding TypeScript this time... it's got text, but what on earth should come next?
this is a screenshot of an improved ABCO-1 assembler and simulator taking the XOR of two numbers and displaying the result, just like we always knew it could. as a reminder, this is a one-instruction set computer that only knows how to add. everything else is built up from nothing but addition
#10-days-in-public fudge is here! 💝
implemented an arguments-based commands approach to cut down on cruft - here's what that looks like with the multiply command
#10-days-in-public 10/10
we made it! 🎉
today we heavily simplified Clover's assertions by simply repeating them, then nailed down something BIG - every Clover command now has an associated format string, meaning the interpreter will be able to figure out if a string of tokens is headed in the right direction...
and even if it needs to tell the difference between two similar forms of the same command, it should be able to sort it out!
this will be a huge boon as we start to add more commands :O
#10-days-in-public 9/10
made a lot of (mostly) quality-of-life Clover changes, including casting the input automatically, adding a line number to errors, bringing back the split command, and even optional command sections (not pictured)!
what's next, you ask? maybe variables, or something... we look forward to finding out!
figured out how bind() works after 8 years
#10-days-in-public 8/10
made Clover slightly more sane in a few ways, patched tentamen one more time, then used it to build a perfect test suite... (pleading emoji)
two words: rock solid. -X
#10-days-in-public 7/10
today was crazy!
added formatting, pretty printing, and a logo to Clover :clover:, updated our good old testing framework tentamen to a simplified new version after 2 hours of work, and cleaned up a few things in other repositories, for a total of 21 contributions - probably an all-time record!
i'm so glad this event has given us a chance to come back to programming; we'd missed it greatly <3
#10-days-in-public 6/10
Clover!!!
pushed 10 different commits to Clover today, ranging from hotfixes to refactors, even going as far as to teach it how to do some arithmetic!
this is literally one of the best projects of ours and it isn't even close to being ready yet. hack yeah 🍀
p.s.: join #clover!
#10-days-in-public 5/10
no pretty picture, unless you count this cursor theme we just switched to (image credit: wo2ni) - though it was indeed a very pretty day!
we solved the first part of today's Advent of Code puzzle, but not the second, with a really big method chain.
beyond that, there were some minor changes to Clover. we'll be working on making it make more sense next, and hopefully we'll have a couple of really nice-looking commands by the end of the 10 days! -R
#10-days-in-public 4/10
that "faster language" idea took a step forward today! look, it's called Clover, and it can make up half a command!
we actually skipped the Advent of Code puzzle to work on this logic.
we'll be busy touching grass tomorrow, so maybe we'll try to find something pretty to take a picture of. -X
#10-days-in-public 2/10
busy day today, so we couldn't spend a lot of time thinking about the game! but i did happen to find something that's been wrong with victus' docs for a while.
also, i figure that it would be nice for the game's canvas to adapt to the entire window, so we researched that, too.
i think i have an idea of how to proceed. -R
#10-days-in-public 1/10
Rhyme really wants a game she can play to calm down whenever she has a bad time, so we're going to start making one.
i spent a lot of time trying to set up a skeleton app in C++ with webview before making a repository, but that kind of defeats our purpose, i think, so we might use our very own victus in an Electron app instead.
here be dragons. -X
went to the Computer History Museum!
a new ABCO-1 assembler... now with 100% more tokenization

i may or may not be giving my website the redesign it's been waiting almost 18 months to get...
what will i be working on in the coming days? let's head to the board
today we went to the Sequoias to find some snow
doing some, uh... "research".
finally getting around to making a super simple game to demo my game framework with. more tomorrow, hopefully
remembered Notion existed, and did a tiny amount of planning for a project i might start sometime next year
puzzle time! this time, using my esolang to write a program which outputs a program which will output the original's input.
you know, my original plan for this evening was to do some programming, but this was such an amazing round of BombParty i can't even be mad
my esolang is now one year old :)
Advent of Code is making everything else take a back seat, somebody help
my stickers came!!!
day 8, thankfully, was much more straightforward
finally solved both parts of day 7!!!
i have manipulated the input for today's puzzle into an array of arrays of arrays. this is promising
i continue to be terrified by the mapping and reducing these puzzles are producing
completed AoC day 5, and 2.5 puzzles from before 2019! i should really get back to some of my other projects.
all done with AoC day 4.
beat a challenge with my esolang for the first time in a while: write a program that outputs the sum of its ASCII values!
