No issues with #Facebook platforms other than the fact that they are incredibly tedious to use and full of posts, ads, and suggestions that can't be more far away from my interests. I'm keeping #Sprout despite the fact that even though I've not invested any real time there, I have managed to build up a decent following. I've given up completely on #LinkedIn, again due to the utter boredom I experience every time I open it. #Telegram is getting to boot, primarily because I no longer use it. 2)

I'm slowly working away at my little game engine #sprout

There is now support for model files, images and gfx modes for blending, culling and depth test!

Oh, and I've also rewritten the resource management that's happening under-the-hood in anticipation for a key concept: cartridges :)

@ewdocparris For years, I've encouraged people to post a #sprout -- a story that emerges while reading someone else's. I love your story, the video My sprout:

In 1968 I went to Tanglewood to hear Keith Jarrett. I was inside the hall, up close, and it was magical. A two-hour solo concert. When he finished we cheered, yelled for an encore. He came out and said: "If you went to a fine restaurant and had a fantastic meal, would you stop for a custard at a diner on the way home?" No encore.
