It is kind of weird to me that I seem to be lumped in as a queer game dev by association with a bunch of people I’m friends with and follow?

@cat the language that's described as "basic-like"? I wonder if adapting a basic interpreter would be faster then

@noiob I mean, potentially, but I suspect the challenge will be more in emulating it’s speed and graphics quirks than in interpreting the language!
