I have Forth (programming language -
see e.g. Leo Brodie's
Starting Forth) running on this smol
M5stack Cardputer v.1.1 (ESP32-S3) courtesy of ryu10's
M5CardForth, which is also faster than my spending the next decade teaching myself ESP32-S3 assembler. :)
Next step: write a very smol choose-your-own-adventure-style text adventure in Forth.
Next step after that: ???
Next step after that: Considering porting either the Shuos Academy text adventure WIP [1] or
Winterstrike (originally written for Failbetter Games for StoryNexus, which will be sunsetted by Jan 2026) to M5CardForth for the CardPuter because I am a TROLL. It could be a dumbass household game experience. :) :)
Heck, I could port some version of
turnabout's fair prey or
The Amiable Planet (Twine) to this! I love the thought of making TINY parser IF / text adventures for this smol device.
(All of these are my games. I give myself permission?!)
[1] I was writing/coding this for Choice of Games but we mutually agreed to cancel the contract because I was flooded out that year and it was no longer a doable workload alongside...finding new housing etc. I still have like 60% of the codebase already written in
ChoiceScript and outline, though! I'd have to refactor but hell, I'd have to refactor anything. I can pretend it's pseudocode. :)
(I need a break from the current schoolwork, what can I say.)
