Hello everybody,

My name's John (should give you some clue as to my age - no-one's called "John" any more.  I've played text adventures (though I often get enraged if the program can't understand simple commands!), and I've written a couple. I trained as a fine artist, and I've worked as a programmer several times in what I laughingly call my career(!). It was the very specific rules that attracted me, strangely enough, and the retro nature of the theme. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is doing too.

Hello John,

Very pleased you have chosen to compete in this event. I'm not sure that John is old fashioned at all, in my view it's a timeless name and ambiently stoic. 

It's so good to have another artist on board in the jam. I was worried that the code snippet and the text based editor would put off artists (rather than programmers) - perhaps it did, but now I have survivors bias because a few got through :-).

Anyway, I do hope you enjoy the jam, and if you get stuck, don't hesitate to ask a question in this forum.

Chris

Thanks for the welcome, Chris. "Ambiently stoic" -- I've been called many things (some were words I've never heard  in the bible), but never that(!) Way, way back when I was working at Philips in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands, on CGA graphics, or what I liked to call "shunting Lego", so I'm going to try and channel that experience for my graphics...
