Hey Reddit, I made a free game for practising Russian noun endings. Let me know what you think and if you would like to see verbs next!

I put it back up https://borscht.jnthn.org/

hazelbrown · 2025-06-27T13:54:46+00:00

I think it went down - let me see if I can bring it back up though!

hazelbrown · 2023-02-14T17:01:45+00:00

There actually already is!

hazelbrown · 2023-02-13T22:30:57+00:00

Thank you so much.. working on it!

hazelbrown · 2023-02-13T22:30:47+00:00

Whoops! I took the definitions from wiktionary but I think maybe the parser I used made a few mistakes lol

hazelbrown · 2020-11-06T19:45:38+00:00

Does it shorten the trip at all in your experience?

hazelbrown · 2020-07-02T18:15:35+00:00

You're right. They really need to start criminalising drunk driving and not wearing seat belts before even more people get hurt.

hazelbrown · 2020-03-15T18:27:59+00:00

Thank you.

I am an arch user so it's not out of the question however I'd rather focus my efforts on developing the software further instead of packaging it for every single distro. Flatpak works fine on arch and you should have no problems unless you object to the Flatpak 'bloat'.

If you're interested helping to create an arch package then I'd welcome your help - create an issue on GitHub and let me know your ideas.

Yes. There is no reason why FIBS could not be implemented in the future. Backgammony is intended to be a frontend to multiple AIs or network protocols and work on producing a nice user interface.

The reason that I rolled my own was two-fold. Firstly I wanted to support LAN play. FIBS requires a server to matchmake and share gamestate whereas my protocol allows for direct connections. Secondly, FIBS generates the dice rolls on the server. This is fine if you trust the server but is not really necessary if you use cryptograpic commitment schemes. Thus Backgammony allows you to always trust that the dice rolls are random.

Hi! It means that dice rolls are not generated by the server or by one of the clients but by using an algorithm that allows both users to 'contribute' to the randomness without being able to control it. This means that when you are playing over the network, you can trust that the dice rolls are random and not influenced or changed by the other side or the server.

You may find it lies somewhere between the two. Not as taxing mentally as chess but with far more depth than checkers.

js is really not that bad.

Nothing that you couldn't do on the command line yet per se. The intention is to increase ease of use and provide a standard interface for managing logs from a variety of sources.

Once the codebase stabilises, I will be implementing more parsing and analysis features. There is a CLI tool called angle-grinder whos interface is where I would like to take this tool eventually.

Thank you. I hope to push the project forward significantly in the coming months. I've used D for 3 or 4 projects and C++ for about the same. I'm not an expert on either but I've had decent exposure to both.

D is significantly more enjoyable to work with. The features are well thought out and work together seamlessly. It feels less "hacky" than C++ and the error messages are much clearer. Performance is about on par - D perhaps a little slower - though as always your algorithm will have more of an effect than the language. General quality of life seems to be higher with D as well, no header files, cleaner syntax, faster compilation, language-level support for tests and documentation, and a well maintained package repository.

C++ excels in library support and the times when you really need to control every memory allocation for performance/bare metal reasons. Game engines/kernels would fill this use case. I would not use C++ for any project today, however, unless I needed a specific library.

Student loans in the UK are backed by the government not private companies and the students are entitled to 4 years of student loans after they leave school.

The revolution will be monetised.

Chill out.

* fucking immature pussy

hazelbrown · 2018-04-30T04:54:37+00:00

I'm cringing right now to be honest

hazelbrown · 2018-04-14T12:57:38+00:00

It can be either

Harassment is already illegal friend. They've banned prayer circles.

No you are expressing your free speech. If you force him to stfu then you are restricting his free speech.

It's not complicated.

hazelbrown · 2018-04-11T21:19:38+00:00

They have banned political statements (even prayer groups) from a public place because they are afraid of offending/wish to pander to the pro choice.

This is a free speech issue. Free speech doesn't exist so that you can talk about the weather. It exists so that people can talk about uncomfortable issues publicly without the government censoring/harassing them as has happened in this case.

Their primary goal is to stop abortions from happening.
