I am pleased to present my Gopherhole. Although I am going to try to | |
keep this gopherhole in sync with my Gemini Capsule, that will be my | |
first stop for updates. | |
Maze of MURDERS | |
I'm proud to release a new Gemini game, Maze of MURDERS, a | |
multiplayer game of exploration, treasure...and murder! Maze of | |
MURDERS is proudly presented in FULL 3D using state-of-the-art Gemini | |
technology. | |

Colemak | |
Colemak is the keyboard layout I use. Learning it after a lifetime | |
of using Qwerty was difficult, and I can best describe it as | |
preforming a cruel experiment om my own brain. I had never learned to | |
touch-type with Qwerty. I wanted to, but attempts to do so always | |
failed because I had become so good at watching my hands, that I simply | |
couldn't force myself to not look and type as I always had. So, I | |
thought that if I tried a new layout, and made myself learn it in the | |
proper way, I would finally be a touch-typist. | |
The proper way was to not look at my hands but to look at a diagram of | |
the layout taped to the bottom of my monitor. The first days were utter | |
agnony, and took a lot of will-power to carry on, but it gradually | |
became easier. Why Colemak? It moves the most used letters for English | |
onto the home row, while keeping the common computer shortcuts where | |
they are found on Qwerty, specifically Z, X, C, and V for undo, cut, | |
cut, copy, and paste. | |
I worried that this change would mess with my Emacs muscle memory, but | |
that actually wasn't as much as an issue as I thought. I found that the | |
new layout was just as easy to use as I had used before, just different. | |
I think that if I was a VI user it would have been much worse since the | |
cursor movement keys, HJKL, are hopelessly scattered around the keyboard | |
with Colemak. | |
I can't recommend Colemak enough. Give it a try. | |

Cell Runner | |
I'm currently creating a console game called Cell Runner where you can | |
run around, collect things, destroy robots, etc. It will have a built-in | |
level editor and programming language so players can make their own games. | |
It's a little like ZZT. | |
I'm currently working on the programming language which is probably some | |
of the most complex bit of programming I've done, but very rewarding. I | |
can't believe it's actually starting to come together. | |
As soon as I get it into a somewhat working state I'll post the code here. | |
In the meanwhile, I've started writing a manual for the programming | |
language. The language is greatly inspired by Lisp (the only _perfect_ | |
programming language). You're welcome to take a look at it so far. | |
See an early version of the manual heru: gem.sdf.org/rellwood/doc.gmi | |
Cheers! | |
