Implementing a Git server entirely in MPI, for better tracking of MUF programs.
Trust me, this is very funny to a select audience.
@Austin_Dern this is, in fact, absolutely hilarifying
@Austin_Dern I think “MD5 hash in MPI” beats my previous most-cursed-implementation, “bubblesort in mIRCscript”
@Austin_Dern @Felthry i made a whole little prototype for, uh, a little automated RPG-ish system where you could, like, tag yourself with two out of five specialties (tech, magic, resilient, flexible, esoterica) and then, like, take particular exits or get different info from examining something based on whether you had the right tag, out of which i could build a puzzle that could be operated completely automatically
...but i never did get around to putting it all the way together
@gardevoir @Felthry Oh, that's ingenious and ... yeah, like a lot of my best projects.
@Felthry @gardevoir I do remember thinking once I might make a little 'realistic' weather simulator in MUF.
Of course, those were the days before MUF had floating point arithmetic so it would be very annoying to work out the calculations.
Eventually I realized it was much easier to just do a random-number-generator on a couple basic weather conditions, and even easier still to not do any of that.
