62. I was pleased 
I managed to get my chat in with my friend, and play and get some stuff done. I'm really warming to ChromatiCraft now - I'm reaching the end of the earlygame, I think.

62. Just feeling generally rotten and under the weather - I had a super early night, and slept through til the kids woke me up, and even then managed to get back to sleep briefly. Weird dreams after that too. I decided to cancel my blood donation appointment tomorrow, as you're supposed to be 48 hours free of cold symptoms, and I've still got a gacky cough and unwellness.
61 this one? https://www.theinquirer.net/inquire...-ryzen-and-epyc-cpus-but-updates-are-incoming
Or something else?
Because if its that, it apparently needs administer rights to exploit, in which case you have bigger worries anyway.
Meanwhile, Intel has had meltdown together with specter. Remember, at least one of those (I forgot which
) could have been exploited using javascript running inside your browser. I'm not saying that AMD is better than Intel, both have/had issues and both will forever have them.
62. You should question it if it doesn't have issues. That may mean that something terribly wrong behind the scenes is going on....
63 I am referring to those, and I am aware about the meltdown and spectre issues. They were easily remedied however, and it looks like one of the AMD flaws is a hardware backdoor and can't be fixed. And yeah, it does need local admin, so it isn't that big a deal, but it's still worrisome.
64. *says in Obama voice* "My fellow Americans, There is Ebola. In America. Which means... we are screwed."
65 decided to make a simple game without a game library or engine in lua.

it is still far from finished, but at least you can shoot and move
fun fact: I don't update the whole screen each frame but instead move the cursor around to only update the parts where needed. This means that at least in that aspect its better than the game I made as a school project with pygame. Make of that what you want
So far however, it has been quite a pain. Lua has no way to get raw inputs and that apparently isn't something that much people need so finding anything useful about it was a challenge. I ended up with 38 lines of lua code, most of which are basically C functions that I have no hope off to ever understand how they work. Also, its posix only, so no windows. It should work on macOS though.
Also, lets not speak about making the update loop sleep for a short time so I can get a nice 60 fps as that was also quite a pain. And I'm sorry windows users (actually, not really) but this is also something that is posix only.

67 so, it now also writes to a file called out.txt and I'm currently writing something that reads that and spits it to the terminal at the correct speed.
If that is done it means it doesn't just auto record your session but that there is also a way to watch it back.
Also, I discovered a bug where it rewrote every character on the screen even if they didn't update.
If only I knew why the same code to let the update loop pause for a bit during the game didn't work while displaying the thing that would be great.....

69 so... turned out I used the nanosleep function wrong and it didn't warn me about it. As a result the update loop ran a lot quicker than it was actually supposed to. With that fixed though, everything now works

71 so.... the next thing to do is make you able to score points and after that I have something I can use to train neural networks with.
It wasn't the reason I made it, but as that as neural networks are something I find interesting it may give me a good environment to create my first one with.
If that works (or perhaps before that) I can add in more directions the astroid's (the +'s) are coming from and make you able to rotate into 4 directions as well as shoot into those.
And of course also try and make a neural network that plays it
