Slartboz has a new video UP

1st showing actual game play

this does not show the Centipede yet. (its under dev & in my design notes and TODO.) but *lots* of shootin action and lazers and a monster and a deadly auto defense tower and and...

much more to come

and I reveal a secret about my engine I've kept close to vest for last few months. its a very old skool Terminal/curses-based Rogue-like (like Rogue & NetHack) but... one *significant* difference. heh

I've used vim for decades. vi before that

vim is my code editor of choice. writing tool of choice. config tweaker. UI mockup tool. and on and on...

my latest game under dev (Slartboz, in Golang) is written 100% using vim. and Slartboz itself is a curses-based program which runs in a Unixy terminal & shell. like vim

few perfectly good & truly wonderful things in our world. vim is among them
