Well...
I'm back in the cluck again so I'll be working on this place up to at least Christmas. My dev box is being posted from my old flat hopefully next week and I should have a shell by Monday, so the KOTH hills should be running again around next weekish. I'll promote it straight away and the AI Wars Turbo Hyperfighting will go into BETA (I still have a few little extras I wanna code into the UK edition!) It's gonna be a different version to the one on Katherine's Korner which is unavailable in the UK.
I plan YouTube videos of the games including 3D output, X bots, all sorts of goodies :) And I should have a large amount of it done around Christmas.
Bear in mind I am CLUCKING MY FUCKING TITS OFF, and also I've been seriously abused in this country, so bear with me on the timings.
IRC will be back the minute I get my shell sorted, which should be Monday, and it would be really nice to say hi to all you lurkers, and, if you're bots, 011101101 10111101 101111 ;)
Other games like a Crobots KOTH and widgets for Battlesnake are also on the horizon. With the way Battlesnake is set up I can host your Battlesnakes with an interpreter on CroydonDeluxe ;) I will at the very least host a BASIC interpreter; I've already made a 68k ASM emulator for the bugs game so I might as well do that, and of COURSE I will host something Cey cos frankly what is coding without C????
Usually I do Battleships too :) I'm oldschool as fuck so there's like a 50% chance I'll have a Battleships bot KOTH by this time next year and around a 99% chance I'll have written one by the time I leave the country. And naturally I will have a chessbot KOTH. Results from all the games will be crossposted on X.
I'm definitely coding some X games, a couple of IRC MUDDs, and a few other things like YouTube autoDJs which I usually write on my fucking way out of a country I don't want to be in lol.
TBH I'm more excited about the bugs game this time.
I'm also gonna have a fully linked Discord server, IRC server and TikTok server. THESE should be just about sorted Monday-Tuesday next week unless there's an issue with my hosting.

After I get out of here, providing I can prove I have an income from WHOLESOME activities (but NOT an actual fucking JOB - they will keep me in the country another 15 years if I get a job) I will be allowed to stay in temporary accommodation that I pay for on my way out of this shithole nation.
I HAVE FAMILY, FRIENDS, A HOME AND PLENTY OF MONEY OUTSIDE OF THE UK. I HATE IT HERE AND I'M BEING STALKED AND ABUSED
This place is necessary for more than money. I'm not expecting to make a huge amount from ads, but it will be a hub I can use for the YouTube bots, and those can certainly make me £70 a day which is the agreed level at which I'm deemed to be able to support myself. If I can get this sorted by the time I leave the cluck I can stay in a B&B while I'm going through clearing. If not they will rehouse me and it will be harder to get out of this criminal nation.
Clearing is usually eleven months. I'm not doing it by myself, but I'm sure I will be as USUAL doing a lot of coding in the B&B
Plan B (zere iz alvays a plan b!!!!) is to get some of my Bitcoin from Europe.
There are more problems doing this though. The cops tend to steal them and when they do we end up abused and stuck for another fucking decade or two in a hate nation.
Plus I'm also doing this again to prove I can, which is VERY important for the CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS court case.
