I've been adding simple conditional blocks to Adelie, so you'll soon be able to do like:

*clicks door*
"the door is locked"
*click key*
"you have the key"
*clicks door*
"you entered."

@neauoire Wait, you also need to keep track of "having the key" for that. And I'm guessing that until now the only state was "you're on page x". Are you adding variables?

Devine Lu Linvega

@vanderZwan It'll be very primitive, it won't be anything like variables, it's a byte in memory that you can do bitwise to, so there's a max of 8 binary values that it can store and you can do `WHEN 34` to check if you have 3 requirements to see the next slide operation. That's it, it'll be kind of an easter egg in Adelie.

@neauoire Ok, that sounds a lot more managable (besides, the key thing can already be simulated by making extra slides and branch like in a "choose your own adventure" book, no?)

Devine Lu Linvega

@vanderZwan yup, a "slide" doesn't have to have any drawing, it's just a named position in the slideshow plain-text source

@mathr Oh cool! Yes, the Statements is a bit more fancy than what I'm working on, but same idea ^__^

@neauoire When a smol computer most assuredly cannot run Doom, the question becomes:
Can it run Zork?

Devine Lu Linvega

@cassvs I think Tetris is a good inbetween. But honestly, I think after having seen the Doom port on the Spectrum ZX, I have to revise my position on this, Uxn might be able to run Doom afterall.

Is it just me, or does this program give off some subtle, sweet HyperCard vibes? 😍

@RL_Dane it's not just you, it's our loveletter to hypercard.

That's the best kind of love letter.
If I ever get far enough into uxn (free time is pretty tight, tbh) to write some graphics routines (assuming I can make my brain learn enough math to pull it off well), I'm totally gonna call it uxnGraf after LisaGraf, the predecessor of QuickDraw (which HyperCard made heavy use of) ^__^

Bill Atkinson is such a gift. So many contributions... QuickDraw, HyperCard, MacPaint, Atkinson dithering.
