quote [ there were no visual development environments out there to make the kinds of simple, 2D games that I grew up playing in the 90s. Games modelled on Maxis's Sim Farm, Sim Earth and Sim Life, were incredibly frustrating to build with modern tools. Something that might have taken a week to build in Visual Basic would now take two months in Unity. ]
Interesting idea of doing an updated version of Klik'n'Play/Visual-Basic-IDEs more elaborate than Scratch but less complicated than, say, Godot. Devlog is full of interesting references to stuff like the Pinball Construction Set or the GeoWorks interface. Found again while sifting through cohost posts.

quote [ in the earlier image you can notice the three sign spaces on the lefthand side of the grid only have three possible options! that's a triple! that means that the stop sign, speed sign, and railroad signs can't be anywhere else but there, so we can remove them from any other space. ]
Another cohost gem on old shareware. 1991 game is still available via dev and as an app.
A more recent iteration of this is Logic Town (here's the itch prototype) note the link points to archive.org because cohost shuts down in a week.
