I had a black cat for about eight years. She was ‘black’. She was so black we called her Shadow. She was also the sweetest and most acrobatic cat I have ever seen. She would do the most amazing stunts and never miss her footing. She and I were best buds.
I will always miss her.
Once I am done with my school mocks, I can’t wait to return to my WIP and keep writing some IF. It’s gonna have been so long… (2 weeks 
)
Write a game in her memory?
I feel for your loss.
And I agree with @Dissolved, maybe you could write a game celebrating her personality and acrobatic prowess? Once the hurt subsides a bit.
And now I’m wondering if there are any parser games where you play as a cat… or games where you switch between playing as a cat and playing as a human that plays around with how the size difference renders the same environments very different to interact with.
And for environments you can explore as both a human and a cat:
Dang and I thought my idea of a human / cat pc / NPC swap was original
It’s very satisying to be able to tighly pack a travel bag despite believing it can’t all fit.
Up next: how to implement a bag-packing minigame in ZIL…
That is the new towers of hanoi 
Just don’t open that can of worms…
Oh don’t worry, I am certainly going to. I had this idea for an Ectocomp game 2 years back which was centered around trousers with pockets that transported items between them and each had a size limit. I couldn’t figure out the mechanics fully though…
Towers of Hanoi? Wouldn’t a bag packing puzzle be more in line with the Soma Cube? As for can of worms, wouldn’t an overstuffed bag that explodes on opening be more like a can of snakes?
Though, how to implement a bag packing puzzle in text to make it enjoyable and so that carrying everything you need so long as you pack efficiently is less annoying that an annoyingly small inventory where you can carrying a fixed number of arbitrarily sized/shaped items and the puzzle is what to get rid of to make room…
I suddenly and unexpectedly found myself giving a coding lecture, since the original speaker was apparently stuck at the doctor’s office, and an attendee asked if I could. The stage fright was real but apparently I did well.
It’s officially the Christmas season, so I’ve been enjoying lots of christmas Music, butter cookies, and there have been several days where its been cool enough to enjoy hot tea and the dunking of butter cookies in said hot tea… sadly, I’m out of cookies and I’ll have to wait until my food stamps come in to grab another tin.
Also, been doing some winter cleaning today… with any luck, I’ve permanently solved the stack of boxes and buckets that occasionally falls over for good…Still have a ways to go to clear out enough stuff to make vacuuming my bedroom worth while and I’m technically taking a break, but I feel like I’ve made meaningful progress today.
Also, recently recieved this year’s dice advent-ure calendars from Black Oak and added my first dreidels to my dice horde… and realized a bit of word play potential with the word dreidel(they are 4-sided spinning tops, functionally d4s, but the word contains drei, the German for 3)… haven’t figured out a good joke to connect this with Santa including san, the Japanese word for 3…
I cut my hair after 3 ½ years of growing it. It’s a massive change but feels nice. Onto some WIP work!
Painted my nails dark purple today! 
Also got two vaccines! 
Purple is my favorite color… 
Mine too!
