Entropic Thoughts Premium Newsletter #5
We get a hint of my latest obsession (text adventures), learn a thing or two about Haskell and the EA movement, and get a review of Code That Fits In Your Head, a book with a good premise but which falls a little flat.
Hello, premium subscribers!
Today, you get the usual link collection and a book recommendation. The book recommendation links to a draft of a future article on the problems with MVC.
I know this premium newsletter is late (by my own standards, anyway.) My excuses are two:
-
I am about to move to a bigger apartment with my family. It's literally a five minute walk from our current place, but it still requires all the ceremonies, and they take both time and energy.
-
I started reading 50 Years of Text Games (good book! I recommend!), and got sucked into the world of parser-based text adventures (the
GO NORTHkind of game) – both playing and building them. I hope to write more about this soon.
