commodore 128 archaeology
software Posted 2012-01-31 23:52:08 by Jim Crawford
A couple of weeks ago, I visited the Internet Archive in San Francisco, and Jason Scott helped me read some Commodore 128 disks that contained my earliest forays into programming, in 1990 and 1991. I've done a little archaeology into this portion of my past, and here are the programs I found:

the dead and the jews
life Posted 2011-11-30 21:20:52 by Jim Crawford

is this skeleton drinking lead? no wonder he went to a hospital to get x-rayed
<Alex> hey, i did that one time
<Jim> are you still alive?
<Alex> there's this pretty gross fairly viscous drink they make you drink that shows up well on xrays
<Alex> iirc sort of medicinal vanilla flavor
<Chris> I notice he never directly answered if he was still alive or not.
<Chris> just say'n.
<Jim> it's impolite for me to repeat the question
<Chris> he's counting on that, I imagine.
<Jim> maybe i can sneak a look at his driver's license
<Chris> next time you see him, let him walk first if you go into a supermarket
<Chris> dead people can't open automatic doors, I think.
<Louis> no, that's Jewish people, and that's only on Saturdays!
<Jim> ohhh
<Elena> man i remember shannon telling me a story of some strict jews who lived near her
<Elena> they like, forgot to turn off the stove or maybe turn on the heater? or something like that
<Elena> and had to get a neighbor to do it
<Elena> because it was saturday
<Jim> they don't even believe in hell
<Jim> what's the point of doing anything your religion says
<Elena> shit, i learned this
<Elena> there was a big paradigmatic shift from the judaic god in the old testament to the christian god in the new testament, in terms of what a god was for and the nature of man's relationship to god
<Elena> the god in the old testament, you essentially made a pact with him for the exchange of services. like, you cut off your foreskin and those of your family, abstain from pork, etc, and he'll look out for you (during life) and your family (even after you die). you do actions that show you worship/respect him, and he will take care of your people.
the christian, new testament god is all about beliefs and faith and those were the basis of your relationship to him. and in return, rather than smiting your enemies or protecting your tribe, god gives you personal salvation and reward in the afterlife.
<Jim> all this meta conversation where i'm mediating the larger conversation through pasted IM snippets is really making me miss #weightedsixes

the kid and the kid: teal alert
software Posted 2011-11-06 11:22:05 by Jim Crawford
As promised, I made a game in 0 hours in the wee hours of the morning! Here it is: The Kid And The Kid: Teal Alert. It's a co-op test of asymmetrical controls. One player moves and fires with the arrow keys and the other moves and fires with the mouse. Thanks to Shamayel for helping do balance passes in the last few minutes of development, and also for coming up with the name.

indie games for good and the 0-hour game jam, together at last
games Posted 2011-10-31 19:25:24 by Jim Crawford

Some friends of mine are running an indie-themed gaming marathon for Child’s Play charity, in early November. Indie Games for Good. I’ll be in there playing games, and Futilitris will going to be on the stream. You can get an indie game of your choice up there too; that’s how this marathon rolls.

Also! I’m not sure yet if the marathon is going to be running to November 6th, but if it does, you’ll be able to watch me working on my 0-hour game from 2am to 2am.
