Second Pattern Today
The 4th of July pattern is easy to cut. With only a few days until the holiday, I wanted it to be easy to cut. The pattern is 8" wide. Plywood is the best option for this pattern. Paint is important for the red, white, and blue theme.
If you have ever owned a dog you likely have experienced it waiting at the door/window for you to come home. That is the idea behind the Dog in the Window pattern. Unconditional love unless you consider conditions such as treats, walks, fetch, food, water, dog house, fence, etc.

The Latest Games I am Working On.
I have been programming computers since 1980. It has always been just a side passion and I never advanced very far. I have experience with Object Pascal, Visual Basic, and Microsoft Basic. But no other higher-level languages. Just a few scripting languages.
I have probably written a few hundred programs. Most of them are just useful utilities that I made for my specific needs. Most of those were written in Object Pascal using the Delphi interface.
From the beginning, I have played with writing simple little games. I have written a boxing simulator with graphics and a Lunar Lander game with tons of extra features.
I don't have time to do much for fun, programming anymore but now I have the help of AI. To learn how to use the tool. I have recreated three old games that many of you have probably played.
These are all online games so you can play in your browser.
Rock Paper Scissors Can be played on a PC or a tablet
Cavern Flier Needs a keyboard with arrow keys
Snake. Needs a keyboard with arrow keys.
To make these games I simply told the computer what I wanted. Then I ask it to add features as needed with extra prompts. I am using Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
My best score on RPS is 5win 0 losses.
Mt best score on Cavern Flier is 6840 This game has a bug where the first run goes too fast.
My best score on Snake is 30.
I am learning this tool to hopefully automate the Personalized Christmas Ornament Pattern I do every year. Those take 2 to 3 hours a day and wear me out so I am hoping to automate the task.
Feel free to play the games and let me know how bad you beat my high scores.
