Sup Ninjas

Got ninjas added to the game. 10 ninjas enter the room from the right, one at a time, and charge towards the stage at varying speeds. Each ninja has a randomly generated name (well, randomly selected from a batch of ninja names I came up with). Each ninja has a randomly generated speed with an upper bound and a lower bound. Last time I ran it everyone reached the stage, then in the distance there appeared one slowpoke ninja shambling forward.

Have I mentioned all the players are colored blocks and the ninjas are yellow blocks? Yeah, that’s some exciting gaming right there.

Ninja subclasses Enemy; adding a different enemy type (rhinoceros, maybe?) would be a matter of making another colored block, specifying its speed and name, and Enemy handles the rest.

I should be able to add attacking these ninjas within the next couple days.

Youth are Nice

I went out to dinner with my dad at a small place near the dyke on lake Wallenpaupak. It was just turning dark. He dropped me off near the entrance and went to park around back so I wouldn’t have to hobble very far. I made my way to the door and stood facing the roadway while I waited for him to park. As I leaned on my crutches a small SUV drove down 507 towards me; the restaurant sits on a curve so they were coming nearly straight on and had a good look. They approached, at least 3 young guys, and they leaned out the window in my general direction and laughed loudly and yelled “AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA <inaudible> FAGGOT <inaudible>!!!!” I can’t be sure if that’s what they actually said, because of the wind and the noise from the car and the road, that’s just my best guess. They drove on down the road. I looked around and didn’t see anything or anyone else they might be yelling at; I suppose it was me, the crutches indicating my infirm condition, though the true reason we will never know.

We went inside and ate dinner and talked about the finish on the wooden tables and I got a chocolate milkshake.
