I am pleased to present my Gopherhole. Although I am going to try to
keep this gopherhole in sync with my Gemini Capsule, that will be my
first stop for updates.
Maze of MURDERS
I'm proud to release a new Gemini game, Maze of MURDERS, a
multiplayer game of exploration, treasure...and murder! Maze of
MURDERS is proudly presented in FULL 3D using state-of-the-art Gemini
technology.

Colemak
Colemak is the keyboard layout I use. Learning it after a lifetime
of using Qwerty was difficult, and I can best describe it as
preforming a cruel experiment om my own brain. I had never learned to
touch-type with Qwerty. I wanted to, but attempts to do so always
failed because I had become so good at watching my hands, that I simply
couldn't force myself to not look and type as I always had. So, I
thought that if I tried a new layout, and made myself learn it in the
proper way, I would finally be a touch-typist.
The proper way was to not look at my hands but to look at a diagram of
the layout taped to the bottom of my monitor. The first days were utter
agnony, and took a lot of will-power to carry on, but it gradually
became easier. Why Colemak? It moves the most used letters for English
onto the home row, while keeping the common computer shortcuts where
they are found on Qwerty, specifically Z, X, C, and V for undo, cut,
cut, copy, and paste.
I worried that this change would mess with my Emacs muscle memory, but
that actually wasn't as much as an issue as I thought. I found that the
new layout was just as easy to use as I had used before, just different.
I think that if I was a VI user it would have been much worse since the
cursor movement keys, HJKL, are hopelessly scattered around the keyboard
with Colemak.
I can't recommend Colemak enough. Give it a try.

Cell Runner
I'm currently creating a console game called Cell Runner where you can
run around, collect things, destroy robots, etc. It will have a built-in
level editor and programming language so players can make their own games.
It's a little like ZZT.
I'm currently working on the programming language which is probably some
of the most complex bit of programming I've done, but very rewarding. I
can't believe it's actually starting to come together.
As soon as I get it into a somewhat working state I'll post the code here.
In the meanwhile, I've started writing a manual for the programming
language. The language is greatly inspired by Lisp (the only _perfect_
programming language). You're welcome to take a look at it so far.
See an early version of the manual heru: gem.sdf.org/rellwood/doc.gmi
Cheers!
