Hello all!

As of today POWDER has reached ten years of
development. I won't say continuous development,
as you have no doubt noticed silence over the
last year.

In any case, I have managed to get an Android
port to work! The news item has a beta .apk
for you to try out.

Clown shoes. I hope that doesn't bother you.
Today is Sunday, January - a weekend.
Tomorrow will be Gloucesterday, January.

Thank you!

But in the interests of historicity, Tridudes did predate POWDER
by a fair margin. The earliest conclusive evidence I have to
their existence was the October 25th 1992 of my cleverly named:
"Walk.Exe - The Latest Version - Now We Fight Cool Like!"

Mind you, its documentation refers to the fighting sequences being
improved, so I presume they also existed in previous versions, whose
dates I do not have a record of.

On the other hand, they were called Triarnes back then, but they were
the same three-legged, three eyed, green critters we know and love.

So, yes, it is happy 10th naming anniversary of Tridudes!
But the creatures are have lived outside of my fevered imagination
for at least twenty years now.
