OK, this is just unfair. While building and testing Where In the World, I kept getting stupid hard puzzles like Diego Garcia, Bouvet Island, Palau, or Central African Republic. But once it's live for everyone, it's serviing up these easy, fairly distinctive countries. WTF random algorithm I created? Why do you hate me so?! 😂 Give us something weird like a French Island near Antarctica!

Success! I was able to restore much of Drew's capsule from older Kennedy crawl data. I'm hosting the mirror here: gemini://gemi.dev/mirrors/drewdevault.com/

One of my favorite classes at university was a computer engineering class where we started with a RISC processor core, and added optimizations over the entire semester as we learned about the evolution of processor design. Things like pipelining, opcode and then data caching, out-of-order execution, etc. I've been wanting to follow this style and write about taking a simple (web or gemini) crawler and evolving it to web scale since I first started building Kennedy. It's still a work on progress, but the best way to write is to write: gemini://gemi.dev/crawlers/

Found an awesome tool for drawing ASCII art drawings. https://asciiflow.com/legacy/ I actually like the legacy version a little better. https://asciiflow.com/legacy/

Wrote up a post about how I built Where In the World, including drawing countries with high enough resolution in just text art, maintaining state, and getting input from the user. Code snippets are included as well. This was a super fun project, and I hope people enjoy playing it. Should I make more games? gemini://gemi.dev/gemlog/2022-08-04-where-in-the-world.gmi

@martin, looks like you are stripping '' (greater than) from a Station post when its shown in a list (the main station page, my archive ). But its visible when you view an individual post. Trying to stop an XSS attack? :-) This might be a feature of the input function you are using. Any way you can allow that character anywhere?

I create a Gemini game: Where in the World? A daily geography puzzle game where you have to guess the country from a picture gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/witw.cgi Everyone gets the same puzzle. New puzzles generate every day. You can share a spolier-free summary of your game via Station. Can you guess correctly?

Oh hot damn! Last week @freezr posted about trying to get Drew DeVault's capsule back online. I went looking at data from old Kennedy crawls and found I had visited 124 URLs on his capsule in mid June. Back then I only cached text content, which returned a status of 20. So I have 104 gemtext pages from Drew's Capsule. I need to write some code to export that (maybe make it a gempub as well) and then I'll post it back on line! Saving full bodies, FTW!
