Greetings, Programs! Welcome to Flynn's Arcade! Here you will find my random musings on life and technology, as well as various interesting computer projects of mine. The name of my site comes from the 1982 sci-fi classic TRON. I am a huge fan of the movie and of classic video gaming and computing. As such, the Flynn's Arcade Radio stream plays various original and remixed music from those bygone days, as well as some of the best newer video game and chiptune music. I also host quite a few Armagetron Advanced servers to help carry on the spirit of classic gaming and serve the TRON community.

HAI
Ahh, after many months of anticipation, I am now officially on thanksgiving break. As is my custom, I am statying with relatives. Unfortunately, my good college/programming buddy that normally stays with me couldn't make it this year. Last year we had an awesome time programming our final project for the assembly language course we were taking-- a game of PONG!
Good times... in fact, I had so much fun developing a moderately-sized project over a few days, that I decided to make it a thanksgiving tradition. I had a few ideas spinning around in my head last week, and I am pleased to announce that I have finally decided on one-- an implementation of LOLCODE ! I am going to work on this for the next few days and post my code when I am done. It will be an interactive interpreter, written in Python, with the help of the PLY module for yacc/lex functionality. I have never implemented a language before and it is one of those things that every computer geek should do at some point, so I think this will be both a profitable and fun project.
