Coding 2023-12-08

By Max Woerner Chase

The inscrutable exhortations of my soul told me to transcribe mathematical functions from a book into a marimo notebook, so I guess that's what I did today. I'm right now at a point where I need to decide how I want to represent some numbers; this is likely to result in a significant amount of thought for very little change in the behavior of the code, and I'm at peace with that.

I am, for reasons, not going to go into much more detail about this code, so let's see if anything else occurs to me...

Here's an idea that might be questionable: with the right design, an interactive fiction library compatible with Python could use marimo to do output validation similar to the "Skein" concept from Inform.

...

So, I just looked into interactive fiction in Python, and nothing leapt out at me as "this is well-suited for what I was thinking of". I'll just let this idea stew for a bit, and focus on other things for the time being.

For the immediate future, though, oof, sleep.

Good night.
