The best way to implement a text adventure in C would be to implement a simple lisp interpreter in C and then implementing the actual game in a lisp DSL. Lisp lends itself surprisingly well to this, and defining game logic declaratively instead of imperatively is much more intuitive. Here are a few examples:

Or replace large part of this code with lex and yacc and stick with C.

Kinda bummed there wasn’t any Japanese woodworking in the picture. Just this American artist’s studies of it. I was hoping for some comparison shots to the historic Japanese forms mentioned.

My answer is yes :)

But will AI survive us ? Just look at how the Internet changed from the 80s to now. It is filled with ads popping up everywhere, making many activities useless.

What you said about ads made me think that ai will probably be orders of magnitude better at marketing/propaganda. Feeling the urge to don some foil on my noggin.

Since the first time I had Indian food sometime in 1987 I have always called naan “not a number bread” and no one has ever laughed. I feel like i may have found my people.
