Can’t miss the Apple event late late tonight…

Macrumors is down. What could Apple be planning? Should I redesign Frag for the 2nd time? 

Turns out they unveiled the Macbook Neo at 2499RM. Not sure I want one, or a better iPad instead were the 2 OSs to converge eventually. And speaking of Frag, I think the arcade style is out. It will be a turn based strategy game as originally planned. But takes place in a square box.

Will code Frag in Playgrounds after all. It will involve building a team that faces off against an AI team. Teams are groups of simple robots with a unique punch / swing and walking style / footwork. Teams are assembled from limited parts provided, or differing masses and are sent to dismember or disable the other side. Not sure about the controls, tho.
 
Last night's action against the Liew witches meant I had no time to code. But I did make some headway on net4spice and git cloned the Netsurf repository. Net4spice will generate a mini circuit which users can tap for I-V by tagging the space around it with a symbol, maybe 'iv' or 'i', 'v'. This space is stored and updated with the simulator values. Ground should be ignored. Quite elegant IMHO.
 
Now I'm in two minds whether to code in Swift or JS. Thinking of following some templates for similar games, like snake etc. Used AI to generate some basic template code so I don't have to sweat over the game. Think this will be all for today. Tomorrow to add the animations and collisions I can reuse from Frag2. This will be called Frag3.
 
Waiting for lunch, will dig into Netsurf's sources. Find out what JS they're using and why it is such a poor performer.

Circa 3pm, I will be going on a long walk. Think I will walk to DigiMall.

I approached a big book store to carry my novella. I hope they agree, thereby I might achieve some notoriety in literature. I suppose it is all I can do for now.
 
Back from my hour-long walk. I didn't spend any money, just gave a tip to a busking saxophonist. The streets are pretty dead due to Ramadhan. It's a good time to try lemang and rendang at least once. But I passed -more for those who are fasting. What a torture this walk was. Re-hydrated with iced water.
 
...
 
About midnight and little work was done, just explaining some prophetic signs and the place of royalty in society -why we have nations, kingdoms, and empires. These are because special people who pursued wisdom and  safety for their nation (essentially a tribe or people) began to call upon 'God' and received thus His blessing, becoming princes and later kings / emperors. Thus always respect your royalty and other kingdom's royals as well. Cousins you should know this.
