Profile

Made this during COVID. I was into PICO-8 at the time and saw someone ported DOOM to it. I'm more of a text adventure guy, so I decided to port ADVENT. Basically I wrote a FORTRAN-to-Lua transpiler. The hardest part was figuring out what version of FORTRAN the source code was written in, finding a manual, cramming it into the limited cartridge space, but most of all, wrapping my mind around the data file format. Always admired Will Crowther for making this. Very fun project. I recorded myself during the whole process but I never posted a video. Future work maybe.

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

Asia-Pacific (APAC) is where the company is located.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.

The company reports a headcount in the c_00001_00010 range.
