How to Write Your Own Space Invaders Clone
Week 28
now the fun part. first we provide the framework with the delegate which sets up the callbacks we need to provide, in order to recursively query the projectile server, so that in a few weeks we're going to be able to begin the infrastructure code that will allow us start work on the test suite which we can write the movement engine against. this will be very useful around Week 50-55 when we might be able to get some aliens on the screen
I can't think of a better illustration of the fundamentally selfish, libertarian foundation of the free software movement than a GNU maintainer loudly affirming that contributions known to be produced by slave labor are welcome without reservation https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2026-11/msg00128.html
