dozens 77a3c87170 rectoad and recowl
big change. ripped out retroforth because it was kind of slow. put the
whole thing in a recfile. surprising nobody. the difficult thing about
this change (although i am otherwise happy) is that the source is a
single file, the rec database at `/db/database.rec`. this makes it
impossible (as far as i know) to to an incremental build such as with
make(1) because the source file, as soon as you update it, is
immediately newer than all of the target files. so everything gets
rebuilt on every build. so i just build everything anyway for now. until
i can figure out something better.

also i export the comic to gemini, which you can find at the link below.

Is there even such a thing as "mainstream"
anymore? I mean it used to be the case that
everybody watched the same nightly news and
listened to the same radio station. And
"counterculture" was growing your hair long
and listening to rock and roll. Now the duality
of mainstream vs. counterculture seems as
quaint as the idea that there are only two
genders or only two sexes. Kids don't listen to
rock & roll to rebel, they listen to soundcloud
emo rap, or whatever, and if the niche sound that
speaks directly to them doesn't exist, they can
invent it and upload it for the world to hear with
little more than a cheap laptop.

# toad.md
> the pro toad and superb owl comic generator
## about
This program reads a script file and interpolates its contents with some ascii art, and then writes the result to stdout.
The end goal is automating the creation of [Pro Toad and Superb Owl][ptso] comics.
[ptso]: https://git.tilde.town/dozens/protoadandsuperbowl
## usage
$ retro toad.md path/to/script.txt > comic.txt
## components
the components of the program are:
1. IO - open the text file, read it line by line, close the file, write to stdout
2. input parser - there are 2 line types in the script file:
- a text line, and
- a separator line: a special `---` line to separate panels.
3. comic builder - build the first panel, the second panel (no input needed, just output tanel 2), and the 3rd panel (repeat steps needed for 1st panel)
4. panel builder - for as long as art array has length, and as long as the current input line has length or until the input parser hits the separator line or the end of the file, call the line builder with the next line of the art array (if there is one) and the input line.
If the input line has no length, and the next line is not the separator, have the line builder insert a "blank line" and get a new input line.
5. line builder - given two strings, build a new string containing the first, and appending words from the second up to a total of ~80 cols.
## argument validation
print a helpful message if the script is called without an argument
~~~
script:arguments #0 eq? [ 'Error:_Missing_argument s:put ] if;
~~~
## panels
okay let's go
There are two panels: one where toad speaks, and one where owl speaks. Let's save each to an array, one string per line.
Here's toad (panels 1 & 3):
~~~
'toad var
{
'_(@)(@)_____{0,0}__
'_(~~~~)____./)_)___
'_(>vv<)______"_"___
'___________________
'_____\_____________
} !toad
~~~
Here's owl (panel 2):
~~~
'owl var
{
'_(@)(@)_____{0,0}__--_Hoo?
'_(~~~~)____./)_)__________
'_(>vv<)______"_"__________
} !owl
~~~
Also here are some code fences, because we'll need those too:
~~~
:fences '``` s:put nl ;
~~~
## Input/output
open the file for reading and save the file handle to `handle`
save the file fize. we'll use this to check for end of file.
~~~
'handle var
'size var
#0 script:get-argument
file:open-for-reading !handle !size
:get-line @handle file:read-line ;
~~~
## Input Parser
TODO: this isn't tested or used anywhere yet.
~~~
{{
:end-of-file? (-) @handle file:tell @size gteq? ;
:separator? (m-f) '--- eq? ;
---reveal---
:end-of-section? (-f) separator? end-of-file? or ;
}}
~~~
## Line wrapping
Here's a line wrapping module.
~~~
{{
#0 'displayed var-n
#40 'wrap-at var-n
:wrap? dup @displayed + @wrap-at gt? ;
:display [ nl !displayed ] [ displayed v:inc-by ] choose s:put sp ;
---reveal---
:s:put-wrapped (s-) ASCII:SPACE s:tokenize
[ dup s:length wrap? display ] a:for-each
#0 !displayed ;
}}
~~~
src:
<https://github.com/crcx/retroforth/blob/master/example/wordwrap.retro>

top: Is there even such a thing as "mainstream" anymore? I mean it used to be the case that everybody watched the same nightly news and listened to the same radio station. And "counterculture" was growing your hair long and listening to rock and roll. Now the duality of mainstream vs. counterculture seems as quaint as the idea that there are only two genders or only two sexes. Kids don't listen to rock & roll to rebel, they listen to soundcloud emo rap, or whatever, and if the niche sound that speaks directly to them doesn't exist, they can invent it and upload it for the world to hear with little more than a cheap laptop.
bottom: At the other end of the LONG TAIL of the internet is a metaphorical infosec furry, and because of them there are as many small STREAMS and countercultures as there are individual people.

top: There was a sense of euphoria while we were in flow, like we were invinsible, but afterwards everything seemed brittle and fragile like it was held together with duct tape and kite string and like it might all come crumbling down if the wind blew in from the wrong direction. And there we were in the aftermath, unsure whether we accomplished our goals, who we hurt in the process, or if there was anything good about it all.
bottom: So anyway that's what we call a "hackathon". The tech bros invited me to "do some lines" and at this point I can't remember if it was code or coke.
date: 2021-08-29
id: 00009
top: So I picked up a book in the middle of this epic fantasy series. It's by this author who I heard does really good sword and sorcery stories, and I'm into that. Anyway the story opens on a tragic, lonely noble lord, last of his line, subject to disfigurement because of the family curse and whatnot. But, get this, it totally takes place in Old Germany during the rise of the Nazi party!
bottom: I was so disoriented that I looked it up, and there will eventually be a classic fantasy storyline that interweaves with the modern nazi storyline.
+ Which means eventually the hero is literally going ride a dragon to Hitler's bunker and punch him in the face and if there's one thing this world needs more of, it's mother fucking dragons beating the shit out of nazis.

Is there even such a thing as "mainstream" anymore? I mean it used to be the case that everybody watched the same nightly news and listened to the same radio station. And "counterculture" was growing your hair long and listening to rock and roll. Now the duality of mainstream vs. counterculture seems as quaint as the idea that there are only two genders or only two sexes. Kids don't listen to rock & roll to rebel, they listen to soundcloud emo rap, or whatever, and if the niche sound that speaks directly to them doesn't exist, they can invent it and upload it for the world to hear with little more than a cheap laptop.

At the other end of the LONG TAIL of the internet is a metaphorical infosec furry, and because of them there are as many small STREAMS and countercultures as there are individual people.

There was a sense of euphoria while we were in flow, like we were invinsible, but afterwards everything seemed brittle and fragile like it was held together with duct tape and kite string and like it might all come crumbling down if the wind blew in from the wrong direction. And there we were in the aftermath, unsure whether we accomplished our goals, who we hurt in the process, or if there was anything good about it all.

So I picked up a book in the middle of this epic fantasy series. It's by this author who I heard does really good sword and sorcery stories, and I'm into that. Anyway the story opens on a tragic, lonely noble lord, last of his line, subject to disfigurement because of the family curse and whatnot. But, get this, it totally takes place in Old Germany during the rise of the Nazi party!
---
I was so disoriented that I looked it up, and there will eventually be a classic fantasy storyline that interweaves with the modern nazi storyline.
Which means eventually the hero is literally going ride a dragon to Hitler's bunker and punch him in the face and if there's one thing this world needs more of, it's mother fucking dragons beating the shit out of nazis.

So I was down by the capitol and I noticed some kind of protest was happening. I saw a couple people wearing US flags and thought to myself, ew, probably a bunch of treasonous right-wing fundamentalist bastards. Which, you know, is always the first thing you think when you see somebody wearing the US flag. But then I saw somebody holding a "My Body My Choice" sign and thought, aw, it must be some pro-choicers! And I decided to get a little closer to check it out.
---
I got close enough to see a bunch of the other signs and they were all like, "No Jab! No Vaccine!" and that's when I knew I had been tricked. It WAS a bunch of treasonous right-wing fundamentalist bastards! I said "ew" again and turned around and ran away.
