Terminal Phase hits 1.0

[Christopher Lemmer Webber]

Hello,

Just a small blogpost about Terminal Phase, which hit 1.0:

https://dustycloud.org/blog/terminal-phase-1.0/

I think the game is pretty interesting. Anyway, you can try it
yourself:

raco pkg install terminal-phase
raco terminal-phase

(I guess it also installs a launcher thing.)

This is all related to Spritely Goblins, and for more on that, here's a
video:

But... that video is quite long. A more condensed Spritely Goblins
video coming soon-ish.

Anyway, hope you have some fun hammering away at your space key!

Oh, cool.  It's Defender in ASCII art.  Neat idea, and I'm interested to see how to do cursor positioning in Racket.  Thanks for the link.

Not the most interesting part of Spritely Goblins (that is in the
async/distributed stuff, to-be-demo'ed), but something I wrote about
recently and maybe I should link here too:

Of course, as functional programmers, time-travel isn't that novel.
What's more interesting is how to make it comfortable* when we have many
independently acting objects.

More to come later.

many)

** monad***

*** one could argue that Goblins kind of can be perceived of as an
implicit monad but the important thing is that this framing is not
exposed to users

Nice, I'll actually be competing with a flavor of MaiaVictor's library for reactive models. Time travel is a great add!

I'm definitely interested in reactive patterns, so please give me a
heads up with whatever you have whenever :)

And then I just noticed you had sent such an email immediately after ;)
