Coding 2025-01-01
I'm still looking over type and programming language stuff, but I'm also tossing together stuff in less disciplined fashion to try automating bookkeeping for Mythic. I don't know whether I'll actually need this, but writing it will be handy for refreshing my memory about how Mythic's second edition fits together. I mean, there's not much to it, but all the more reason to see if I can internalize it all.
I can talk some about the thought process that got me here. I've been trying, on and off, to get into tabletop roleplaying, but I really frequently have hit something along the lines of stage fright, so I'm trying to get some practice with solo roleplaying. (This is where the Stars Without Number stuff was going, although going into that, I wasn't quite aware of the amount of prep work my standards would end up giving me.) The last time I tried to do something in this are, I ended up with a character concept that I felt was too ambitious, and ended up not going anywhere with it. My current plan is to work with my wife as such: she handles most of the work, and I take care of the tedious bookkeeping. This gives me practice for bookkeeping on my own, and time to come up with a concept that's more in my comfort zone.
But for now, I'm just kind of slopping code together to see what seems to make sense. And there's only so much more of that I can do this year.
(Okay, so, see, I date these entries so that they correspond to midnight UTC the day after I write them, so...)
Good night.
