And nothing really seems to be going on with it lately. It would have been nice to see some sort of new game to celebrate the 20th anniversary, but it looks like it's not going to happen. I brought out my Dreamcast and hooked it up. It still works. Which is good because I went and ordered some Dreamcast games off eBay. They are all games I previously had but sold because I got uninterested in the Dreamcast. But I kept the system and 50+ games, which is good because I am interested in it again.

It's odd that I like it because in 1999, I was playing my N64 and Yoshi's Story and Mario Kart 64. In fact, I never heard of it when it was new. I knew it was a game console from Sega, but that was about it. It took about 15 years for me to discover it. I saw one at the used game store and decided to get it. And then I got another, better looking one. I tried my hand at making a Hello World for the Dreamcast, but failed miserably. If I could, I'd make my ant-squishing game for it.

I have also been working on Golf for Channel F. My left pinkie hurts whenever I type with it. I have an unusual way of typing. It's like hunt and peck, but since I've used a keyboard for 30 years, I've memorized where all the keys are and just let my fingers type and I can type real fast, but not in an "official" way. I have a Dreamcast keyboard I got for $20 at said used video game store. Perhaps I should put in Quake 3 Arena and use it.

There are now 13 holes in Golf. I have 5 more I need to put in. Since I think now I have the engine done (I added an out-of-bounds penalty yesterday), I can now just add in new holes with a little changing of the code to fit the hole.
