Thank you 😊 He's aware of the attention my post has received so he will appreciate the positive reception. He's looking at Zoar now as I speak 😁

I've not looked at the code in ages. And more worryingly, neither has my brother 😬 It's probably some unreadable mess after so many years away. I think he needs a LOT of encouragement. It looks like a wonderful piece of work and a real testament to what can be done in BASIC V 2/2

The fact it's in Basic is one thing. It's just these little touches, the way the bird's wings flap, or don't, so you can just... glide around. Other birds come and go, and interact if you wish. Zarch was fixed polygons. In Zoar, they move, like living things. 1/2

I found my brother's Zoar game from 2019, here as a YouTube video. Written in BBC Basic V on RISC OS Pi for the Raspberry Pi, this game looks erm... zoarsome? 😬 I really hope he can finish it, it's been years! youtu.be/ue3CLr6ePEk?...

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

He never really fully fleshed out the idea. It's more a casual play experience. Fly around, build a nest, fly around some more, collect fish from the water. He's gonna blow the dust off and see how it fares now.

Hmmm, I have no excuse, there's Archimedes Live! to play it online, so it could be a thing. Reminds me, my brother's Zoar game deserves wider play, so I can mention it to him.

Had a browse through my GitHub and suddenly remembered I had a purely Basic edition of Polymer Picker which I abandoned. Wondering whether to revisit it, or let it lie and think of other things? 🤔

Important to remember that the uber-wealthy are an uncommonly anti-social, interpersonally repugnant group of people devoid of charm and values; it’s how they got that way. They elevate their own.
