Melbourne Uni

The UniWireless wireless network sucks. Everything must go through a proxy. Can't SSH, can't telnet, can't rdesktop, can't access my Perforce server at home.

At least HTTP works just fine.

NextWar on the Xbox 360?

I'm going to go hide in my little cave and tinker away with my programming for a while.

When I emerge, maybe there will be a new tower defense game available on Xbox Live.

If I don't give up before then.

LOLExec: A Dynamic LOLCODE Interpreter

Well, today I released version 1.0 of LOLExec. LOLExec is an interpreter for the esoteric programming language LOLCODE. For example, here's the Hello World program:

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE


I've put it up for download here:
http://www.microngamestudios.com/lolexec.html

In the binary executable package, I've included a few sample applications along with the interpreter: for example a prime number finder and a few solutions to Project Euler problems implemented in LOLCODE. Also available is a large suite of unit tests that I wrote during the course of development. Feel free to use them as you wish.
