You know this thing when you press a key and it appears at once, and when you keep the key pressed there’s a short delay and then the key repeats? That happens on DOS, too, and it’s unsuitable for games. What you want for a game is something like a “key event” (i.e., “key A has been pressed now” and “key A has been released now”). DOS doesn’t provide an API for that.
For very simple games, you can ask the BIOS about the state of the Shift, Alt, and Ctrl keys:
You only need to go left or right in this game, or activate a lift. The two Shift keys and Ctrl are used for that. I always wondered why this game uses such weird keys instead of the cursor keys – now I know. 😅
For more elaborate games, you need to write your own handler for hardware IRQ 1. 😀 Then you get to see all the key presses and releases. That’s the method I’m using now.

Little Snitch 👈 This little nice macOS App is really cool 👌 @markwylde introduced it to me years ago, and I've finally installed it in "Demo" mode for the last ~24 hrs and it's so great 😅 Check this out: -- There are connections made by some apps like Plex Amp that I wasn't aware of, which I've know subsequently blocked. Like pubsub.plex.tv wtf/! 😱~

It’s easy to port the example code to DOS, but that’s not the interesting part. I’m taking the time to really understand the math behind it (the tutorial is pretty vague at times) and I’m writing it down in LaTeX. Yay, finally some TeX again! 😃

@prologic What I also meant: I hope this knowledge doesn’t get lost completely. I believe that we can learn a lot from these simpler times. (I don’t want to imagine how it must be for younger folks who grow up with the mindset of “there’s a framework for everything”. 😱)

I am thinking about setting up a yarn instance. Twtxt is cool but it would be nice to be able to post from my phone. Local posting would be a cool feature for yarn to have. A feed that can only be viewed by logged in users of that instance.

One car was parked half way into garage yesterday, and ownervwnt on vacation, and now snow cannot be cleared because they cannot get past the car (dead end street). So the owner fucked up for everyone here. No one can get anywhere. Pisses me off.

OH MY FREAKING HECK. So.. I made my pather able to run as Dijkstra or A* if the interface includes a heuristic.. when i tried without the heuristic it finished faster :|

i am wondering if maybe i need a better heap like a btree backed one instead of just list sort on Dequeue.
I found a bug where i didnt include an open/closed list that seemed to shave off a little. right now it runs in about 70 seconds on my machine.. it takes over the 300s limit when it runs on the testrunner on the same box.. docker must be restricting resources for it.
I might come back to it after i work through improving my code for day 23. Its similar but looking for the longest path instead of shortest.

The clash project on github got nuked few months ago. I thought they were moving away from github but seems like something bad has happened to the developer. We might not see it ever other than the remaining forks.
@stigatle Oh my goodness, how sick is that!? What a day you had. Wind picks up at the moment, gusts up to 70km/h, also tomorrow. Probably a joke compared to what you experience. Stay safe and all the best to you. :-)
@xuu That was one of the horror puzzles where I had to look for help. 🥴 I modelled my solution after this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pDSooPLLkI (I can’t explain it better than the video anyway.) It takes a second on my machine and that’s with my own hashmap implementation which is probably not the fastest one.

@lyse Watched it! That is truly fascinating. All that space, all those galaxies … 🤯 (Time to re-watch Alpha Centauri, I guess. 😅 Damn, I miss Space Night.)

@lyse wind is pretty bad about -15c in wind chill, I should have snowgoggles, but the cap helps (can just tilt head down in the worst wind). Been a crazy day, walked the dog 5km, came home, took over a meter of snow off veranda, helped 2 cars that was stuck on our street, helped neighbour showeling the snow to get his car in, then dug out our car (just in case we need it), and then had to walk to the store (2km) and back because you cant get car out from our street tonight. So for the rest of the evening Im not doing nothing. Haha They closed svhools tomorrow as well because of the chaos.
@stigatle Holy cow, this is crazy! My hair froze maybe five times in my entire life. But by far not as much as that. Also looks like you have quite some wind. Phew, happy shovelling, I guess. We've got 9°C at the moment, 5°C in the night, must be well below zero at your place.
