@wizzwizz4 Thanks! I do keep a very strict dev log, but I feel it's more like "This shiny new feature is really important and just now I realize it" :D
I agree that sticking to the original plan is a good idea though.

I'm working on a coffee-break text game in my spare time.
It's inspired from a game I used to play with my brother long time ago, around 1998 or so.
It's about a young guy with telekinetic powers that wants to save his town, and the girl he loves. The description of the game would be something like: "*Slay a few hundred creatures using your mental powers and learn about life, purpose and love along the way*."
I believe I'm half the way, but I keep finding things to add :)

@neauoire Just to add to this thread (this is my last comment, no more spam)

The only reason we have electronic computers IMO is because when Tesla asked for funding for his research, the guys that funded him had a copper wire factory and they wanted to make a good business.
Also electricity is easy to measure and make profit.
It has to be something easy to measure, because it's all about money.

@neauoire Sorry I'm late to the party.
I know this is not a computer, it's just a huge pinball machine, but just listen:

@milofultz @huxel Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about that link! Now I have to waste a few hours and read all that :)

@huxel If you decide to use plain text files and whatever editor you want, you can check this: https://crlf.site/log/notes/190827-1/

There are lots of links and there and the links point to other links.

@aral Sounds great, thanks! I'll keep an eye, it sounds super useful.

@andreas That's really really sad...

@aral I'm actually working on something similar in Python but I need to process tens to hundreds of millions of JSON lines records, which requires a different approach...

@aral I added your lib in my repo: https://github.com/croqaz/Stones

BTW you can see other alternatives, I think neDB is very similar.

BTW I discovered a few alternatives and I made an article about it: https://crlf.site/log/notes/200624-comments/
