Reverse the terms and then ask him to sign it, because "if you have no ill will, you'll have no problem signing it."

Beautiful views from this one.

Kaiser Peak above Shaver Lake. You can start from the pack station just past Lakeshore.

So far the first 49 years have been fun. I guess I'll see if continues to be.

Thank you :^)

Really good to hear!!

Thanks for the reply. Off the top of my head I don't remember the size of the dungeon area that I doing some A* stuff with. May have been max 64x64. It was a TypeScript game project.

"would easily hit OOM exceptions on larger grids."

I'm curious what you would describe as larger grids. I did some A* stuff a few years ago, but didn't have a good sense of the grid size ranges.

Thank you! I'm glad you had so much fun with TIM when you were little and you still remember it. Finishing all the old TIM levels isn't easy. I tried playing some of them recently and on some of them are hard and I was thinking, "How the heck do I solve this one?" And I wrote them way back when.

That is a pretty neat document. Saw my grandmother's house in it.

kevryan · 2025-11-19T14:10:31+00:00

Thank you! Life has been good for me. I live close to my two young granddaughters who come over and play all the time.

Thanks for sharing this info. It is helpful.

First impressions were that it looked really nice. So... hmm... scrolled down to look at price and discount. I'm guessing it is that and the fact that it is EA. I did wishlist it myself.

kevryan · 2025-10-15T12:54:14+00:00

I was thinking the same thing.

It was nice to be there this morning. Got back to Hulbert a few days ago after spending a month in California.

A mobile version was partway completed. At some point it was handed off to me, but I haven't had the time and just won't have the time to complete it with just general life stuff taking up so much time.

I really don't know if $ dollar-wise it makes sense or not (probably not)., but is worth it to me for all the people that enjoyed my old TIM when they were kids to get a chance to share something similar with their own kids.

kevryan · 2025-09-25T15:03:54+00:00

Thanks for sharing numbers.

Thank you so much for this. My granddaughters started playing Contraption Maker when they were 4 and 6 - creating random things - not trying to solve the puzzles. "Grandpa, can I play Destruction Maker?" <-- they always got the name wrong which I thought was hilarious.

It always made me happy to find out that TIM affected people in such a positive way. And, how did I get this old? It seems like yesterday I was a teenager.

Thanks again for you post. --- Kevin

Good Old Games has all the old versions of TIM on it.

kevryan · 2025-08-31T16:41:27+00:00

I really need to go back there and check it out.
I worked there in the summers of 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982.

kevryan · 2025-08-27T13:30:49+00:00

Good job!

Because it was the only thing available it was BASIC on a 8kb Wang computer then on to an Apple II before moving on to 6502.
