Don't really know what to do today. Oh and yes, I added some simple ISO-8859-1 support to Angband yesterday to have Sméagol and Nazgûl and even my own name Sandø. It's probably unportable to obscure systems which Angband runs on, but for Langband which runs on more modern systems it might be an option to make things run with UTF-8 or UTF-16. This will also allow for more fanciful names and more wilde characters to bump into in the game.
Well now, I should get back to this compiler.
So.. what have I done the last couple of weeks that's been open-source related? I released yet another version of Langband which had the first version of the save/load code needed.
Then I got a kick that I needed to make some Debian-packages of lisp-code and till now I have made debian-packages (using common-lisp-controller) of PORT in CLOCC, Binary-Types, XPTest for CL and two Langband-packages. The last one was tricky.
But, doing these things don't help much. I feel lousy.
Wasted even more time I don't have and added lots of gameplay to Langband and eventually there was enough for yet another release. Now I must do something serious!!
I took time I didn't have and worked on Langband. Optimised a lot of the Lisp-code and removed much of the garbage production which I am satisfied with. In the process I also uncovered a few bugs and fixed some of them. All in all two productive Free Software days.
Oh and yes.. I also released v0.0.9 of Langband which also includes the port to CLISP I did last month.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
