Friday
It’s Friday night and when I started to write this I had no idea of what to write. I laid down and checked the usual message boards and came up with no new ideas, so I took a short nap.…
Checkin
I worked on mapper for a little bit again today, as well as my IFComp entry. I also checked in with csa2 and csa2 programming. Both were pretty quiet. I checked in with a few other message boards I lurk…

After my little side trip with MACHID in the last couple of days I’ve come to realize that my plan to write an adventure program for the Apple II had hit a snag. I had originally planned to write it…
MACHID, Follow-up and ZBasic

MACHID
In the past, when I was writing programs, I always wrote for my machine, the Apple //c. I knew what was there and could write for it. While working on Mapper, I planned to use the 80 column card. But this…
Drift
Last night I was reading comp.sys.apple2 and ran across a post by Daniel Kruszyna where he mentioned a an Apple II music disk he collaborated on called Drift. (In the interest of giving proper credit I stole the next sentence…
Mapper
I worked on mapper today. I’m hoping to have it finished this weekend or early next week. I tend to move around my apartment and work on different computers, depending on what I’m doing or what is going on. My…
