Magic Disappearing Scautura


Well, not quite. I’m back at work, I haven’t quite dis­ap­peared. I’ve cur­rently lost my moti­va­tion (if you see a small pink thing run­ning around on the floor that looks like a lit­tle “m”, that might be it — don’t walk into it, you’ll hit it!) for cod­ing tem­porar­ily, as I’m hav­ing to work on the web­site for the place I work, and I can only take so much cod­ing at a time.

I will be back, and I’m try­ing to do the inspi­ra­tional thing (i.e. What to do next) and keep the bug tracker up-to-date.

I have been try­ing to fid­dle with Cygwin/Curses on win­dows, see­ing if I can get a frozen/py2exe’d ver­sion out using that, with­out much suc­cess. I have got a work­ing ver­sion of CR in Cyg­win, but there are a few pecu­liar­i­ties — I can’t turn the cur­sor off com­pletely (it doesn’t like cur­sor calls), for exam­ple — but it does run a lot faster than Con­sole (which runs faster than WCo­nIO — so I’ll prob­a­bly drop that option). I can’t really ask peo­ple to install Cygwin/Python just for Cyber­Rogue though.

It does how­ever have the ben­e­fit of a (mostly) work­ing curses in win­dows, so I can at least do cur­sory testing.

See you on the flipside.
