Over four decades ago, when I was in my pre-teens, my family had a TRS-80 Model 1 (or was it a 3?), and I created a simple game for it in BASIC. In the game, a maze-like wall of blocks would be built as you watched, each block one of the system's super-chunky monochrome pixels. When the wall became almost, but not quite, impassable, you'd hit the space bar to halt the construction and begin the next phase of the game…

Wow, that is really fun!

Thanks for sharing, and it is a touching present for a dad :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

there's not much to see except a google form for signups and gumroad link for payment. it only has glacier national park configured right now. the notification system is a github action that runs constantly, scraping the api that makes the reservation.gov permits, and then checking if any of the subscription notifications have changed. the sign up is a google form that triggers a zapier and adds the new notification…

Nice! Wish I could use it - but I'm checking for available wilderness permits not campground permits (in Yosemite to hopefully hike the John Muir Trail this summer)

it was wilderness permits for the backcountry, not campground permits. but the api works the same for either permit type. i can hook you up if you happen to catch this message, i don't see an email on your profile. email me at smcalilly@gmail.com
