Really more of a changelog than a blog, but calling it a blog makes it sound cooler.
I learned the hard way last year after coming back to graduate school that my beloved Kahoot had been bought out by private equity, led by Goldman Sachs, and now charges high subscription fees for access to features like having more than a couple of students in game at once. I did end up paying for a month of this last year, ultimately reimbursed by the department (shoutout to Cornell CS), but the experience left…
If we needed further evidence that I have no idea what I'm doing with my life, I decided to go back to graduate school this year. It's just a two year masters program, and it's fully funded, so I don't have to pay anything, but it means I'm back in Ithaca again. Woo.

The last original game was my disastrous attempt to create Mahjong, from 2018. Given how the very first things ever posted on this site were small (and unoriginal) game projects, I…
