This is not things like "feed the cat", but larger things that want to be done or fleshed out some time in the future in free time. Some of these may end up in the ideas section of the HomePage if I document them sufficiently. They are also in no particular order, and may not ever come to anything.
- Implement a version of the old Acorn classic Moonquake. It would be nice to have things like network play, and perhaps eventually extend it to have features like Marsquake (which I never played).
Addendum: I just found the bazillion clones of this that Linux already has, however I haven't found one yet that behaves quite as smooth and simple as the original, nor one that has reactors.
- A program to allow one to catch up with online comics, series, or to read books, or whatever. It runs over a site, works out how to go to (say) the next item, or to run over an index page, or some such, and presents an RSS feed of a certain number of these a day. That way you could catch up with a comic by reading five per day, but not waste all your time on it. Even better: if it determines when it's finished, and then puts in a redirect to the real RSS feed of the site, if it has one. The easy way to start this would be to just work with an RSS feed, and let people start at a particular time in the past, and proceed forward at their own pace.
