Over the last week, I've spent some time digging in to "Nosh Kosh," the Jewish Pac-Man clone for the Apple II that's all about kashrut — Jewish dietary law.

Along the way, I've run into bugs, mapped out level designs, and calculated checksums to figure out how many versions there are.

Break Into Chat · Digging in to "Nosh Kosh," the Jewish Pac-Man clone - Break Into ChatLearning about the level design, bugs, and different versions of "Nosh Kosh," an educational Apple II game all about kashrut — Jewish dietary law.

Check it out! Here's my presentation on rescuing the lost games made by Ya'akov Kirschen and Gesher for the Apple II. The talk was given at the Atlanta Historical Computing Society last fall.

I incorporated new things I learned during my research fellowship, exploring materials at Emory University and the Breman Museum.

Die Kirschen werden reif! 🍒

Ich starre fassungslos den Baum im Nachbargarten an. Sie haben aber auch außergewöhnlich früh geblüht.

Hab jetzt den phänologischen Kalender konsultiert. Die Definition von "Beginn Fruchtreife" ist "vollreife Früchte an 3 Stellen der Pflanze". Heute vielleicht noch nicht (was ist schon "vollreif", ich seh sie ja nur aus der Ferne, aber da sind durchaus schon mehr als drei rote Kirschen), aber morgen oder übermorgen ist es sicher soweit. 🤔
