This fortnight's progress on Toy & ToyBox:
* Repos are private, use the github mirrors from now on
* Wrote Sprite, AASquare and Character modules
* Simple character movement and collision implemented in C
Slow progress this time, but still progress.

This week's progress on Toy:
* Implemented 'Array.reverse()'
* Discovered & fixed a parser bug
* Added rule110.toy example
* Started writing tutorials
C is (was?) defined by a book, so I'll use a similar book-like style for Toy's tutorials & docs.

This week's progress on Toy:
* Implemented Array.flatten()
* Implemented Array.sort(fn)
'sort()' uses my implementation of quicksort, using the arg as the comparator. That was not an easy task, and there's likely hidden gotchas, but I'm happy for now.

This week's progress on Toy & ToyBox:
* Added 'LoadPlayer' to setup.toy, so you can load each player manually, rather than loading everything in the 'players' directory. You can also load the same code as multiple players.

This week's progress on ToyBox:
* Began writing a GDD to keep the design consistent
* Added "flags" to the terrain generation
* Added a "Core" for each player
* Moved the game tick to a distinct function call
* Rewrote terrain generator to be clearer

This week's progress on Toy & ToyBox:
* Added time() to the standard library
* ToyBox's setup now calls 'srand(time())'
Apart from this, I did contribute a fix or two to TMW, but I spent most of this week playing games - I wanna focus harder in the coming week.

This week's progress on Toy & ToyBox:
* Implemented "import as" keyword
* Creeps are rendered and wander around, avoiding terrain
The import keyword now allows scripts to import other files as functions, though issues like circular imports needs work.

This week's progress on Toy:
* Opaque values are passed as references
* Player memory is inside their own VMs
* Stared working on "creeps"
I've been sick for over a week, so progress has been slow, but it hasn't stopped.

its funny how much i wanna do langdev and yet never got far enough to build a proper parser because i consider all current parser paradigms just... bad

lately im making a little programming language! the goal is to target the simplest* bytecode VM imaginable. (plt and langdev ppl come find meee)

as a langdev tool i'm not super familiar, but i can see how it can be extremely useful for prototyping. the fact that you can import packages across languages (ish, kinda, it depends) is really cool as well

also that gamedev is much more on the software engineering side of the field, whereas langdev leans more towards the theoretical side. bridging the gap is complicated, and people with anti-intellectual streaks tend to ignore the gap entirely
