Communism occurs in part whenever a need is met or an economic decision is made without using value tokens. Direct access to resources without money happens every day (e.g. anyone using Linux rather than a proprietary OS, or exercising in a

Bytecode is great for tiny domain languages and I use them in many projects. Ultima IV used one to animate sprites on it's title screen map. For the next version of XU4 I implemented three bytecode interpreters to script the entire ti

Good stuff. I may make use of the .ini parser as my current one doesn't handle sections. There are a growing number of stand alone support modules in my projects that I need to publish as a collection some day. Here's a couple li
