You know, we never did find out what happened to Odin's eye...

I have made sizeable progress on "Ragnarok: A Step-by-Step Guide" in that it goes beyond creating the world(s) and picking your character and into actual playable territory.

I'm planning on having 22 quests at minimum, in a semi-random fashion, which to say that the order would be random but you wouldn't get the same quest twice.

The quest I've been working on so far and have just finished debugging, is called PquestOdin. It's the quest where you get the option to up your wisdom stat. Obviously, this isn't without a price. There are several choices you can make and who you are (Odin vs everyone else) and your stats (your Persuasion stat, to be precise), determine your outcome. In order of YAY to NAY, the possible outcomes are: Knowledge+20, Knowledge+10, no stat change, Constitution-10.

Norse myths and books

Today, I got my copy of Joanne Harris's Runemarks in the mail. I really enjoy this book and am quite looking forward to reading it on paper.

I have also started coding what I'm calling "Ragnarok: A Step-by-Step Guide", which is a Norse mythology based text-adventure. The goal will be to avoid Ragnarok, or, failing that, to survive. So far there are 11 playable characters, 3 different sets of stats and you can pick how many worlds you want there to be in your universe. It's really fun to code, and hopefully to play too.

I've also found a crate of books in the street. Literally, a crate, on the street. Naturally, I took it home (after checking it didn't belong to anyone). It's a really varied selection, going from Moliere to Bob Morane.

Informatics

I've quit medschool for various reasons and joined a engineering school specialised in Informatics/Electronics. They have a program designed for people switching half-way through the year that covers the entire first year program so the year isn't lost.

I've started learning programming and I LOVE IT.

We use CodeBlocks and I made this, a program (C file) that calculates the date of easter Monday on any given year between 1901 and 2099.
