And on a more nerdy note, if you're learning programming or want to sharpen your skills, I highly recommend Exercism (https://exercism.io).It's completely free and has tracks for lots of languages. It even lets you solve exercises in your own editor using their CLI, which I love.I've been using it for Python the past few weeks, and I've learned more about how to actually think through problems than I did with more guided platforms. It focuses on solving real challenges instead of just walking you through syntax.If you like structured practice and leveling up your thinking, it's worth checking out.#Programming #Python #LearnToCode #Exercism

thanks to @mark who let me know about the existence of a very obscure piece of BBS software called Falken and its door game Shadow Realms, i just rediscovered a 35+ year old RPG MUD that ran in MS-DOSthis isn't Legend of the Red Dragon with a bunch of menu options. this is a full-blown MUD with a text parser, monsters, objects, rooms, and characters.as far as i know, this is the first time this software has been run in decades. i found it buried in a bbs ftp archivei've still got some bugs to work out as it doesn't seem to be too happy with dosbox, but i have it running under Falkeni have never ever heard of a mud built for DOS and i am fascinated by the prospect. multiplayer, multi-node gaming over modems and no internet in the very early 90s.#mud #dosgaming #msdos #bbs
