Lunar Phantoms II – in the Light of the Arc

The ashen dawn was approaching soon. And fog. A toxic gray fog. It's a sign of the coming morning. Soon the sun will wake. And burn this moon. And all the monsters will crawl into their huge black burrows. Until the next night. This is the cycle of life here.

The lunar arc ignited in his hand. This is a native weapon. It is powered by moonstones. This is a huge source of energy – close to nuclear fusion, and it also has a telepathic effect. They also create a magnetic field, and other fields, little studied by scientists. This is a native weapon. It glows brightly, like welding. The bullets of these monsters are impervious. But this bright beam of focused energy is quite capable of countering them.

Moonstones burn in your back. You feel their whisper. But it is controlled by the suit's field. In such a suit. It looks like a diver's suit, the psychic energy is controlled. Primarily by the wearer, focused and calibrated by the suit. Crazy technology. But it all works. Although it's not exactly clear how.

Moonstones in my back. You can't live here without them. There's a strong energy field here. The stones compensate for it. You have to insert charged stones into my back. And connect the wires to the lunar arc. It's a neat job. The only drawback is the long wires. The main thing is not to get tangled in them. But that's a matter of technique.

The lunar arc burned brightly. And a huge monster. Something like a huge worm that crawled out of the cold burrows of this moon. These aren't craters. These aren't natural caves. These are the burrows of enormous worms. Which sleep during the day. The huge monster had already realized this. And began to maneuver. Wriggling. It bent in the other direction.

Worms in burrows are another kind of lunar phantom. Only materialized and more permanent. They are strange entities. They come from burrows. That much is clear. Although the burrows are empty during the day. But at night they materialize. These are lunar phantoms. And of course, the dark figures are still there. Silhouettes. These are now dark phantoms of humanoid form. Now that's clear. Imitations of humans made of dark lunar magnetic energy. They are no less dangerous than the huge lunar worms in the valleys.

The passage through the valley ends. The sun will soon rise on this side of the moon. And it will shine with incredible power. All the phantoms will either retreat into their burrows or be resolved. And you should seek shelter. Dawn is coming soon. The base is nearby. Just a couple of kilometers. And a whole hour until dawn. The predawn cycle is already beginning. Fog.

Alice and the Rabbit III

Alice has come to the field again. And here's the rabbit again. A fine rabbit. Already running as fast as he can to see his friend. Who hasn't been here for a week. Summer again. Another field. And the rabbit is hopping. Running and jumping.

The rabbit is already talking. Hello! Hello! Hello! He's running. Jumping and talking. Hello! Hello! The train just left. And now there's silence. Such silence. Only the wind. Now they can finally talk. Alice is no longer surprised that she understands rabbits. And that they are more than intelligent. Sometimes she even thinks the rabbit is much smarter than Alice. Even though Alice is taller than the rabbit.

It's a wonderful time here. Summer and sunshine. A field. There was rain this morning. So said the rabbit. It often rains here. And now it's the hottest time of year. And it will be like this all day. Only sometimes there's wind. But today there's hardly any. The rabbit shrugs. Yes, today there's almost no wind. It's hot. And the sun. Look, it's smiling. Alice glanced at the sun's disk. Yellow and huge. It was blinding. But she really did think the sun was a big smile. And it was smiling. But it was shining so brightly that it was hard to tell for sure. Was it true or just her imagination.

There's nothing but a field around here. Amazing. And there's a rabbit. He knows how trains run. And he's always here when Alice arrives. This is the best time for Alice. Carefree summer. Good mood. And the rabbit. A new friend from summer.

It's very hot here. And they walk across the field to the houses. Where Alice lives. Alice doesn't know which house the rabbit lives in. The rabbit twitches his ears. And he keeps jumping with joy. The field is huge. It's a long way across. And you can hear everything that happened in the field. While Alice was gone.

To hear about other kind little animals. The snail. The mole. The beetles. Alice hasn't seen them yet. They're busy in their houses. The rabbit announces. The frog is making tea. She'll treat them to delicious tea. With marsh leaves. It's delicious, the rabbit announces. And he hops again.

Autumn Island 2 - Dense Forest

Autumn forest. The sky is gray. It's autumn. And there are tons of trees. And mushrooms. A calm forest. And it's cool here. Fresh air. Lots of trees. In summer, it's a beautiful forest. And now it's autumn. And you're back in a new autumn forest. A new key. The key to autumn. Such a big metal key. With patterns. In the autumn forest, you have to search.

You walk. Into the distance. Everything looks the same here. A breeze blows. The wind blows. It's autumn. You have to collect the keys to autumn on the islands. Each island is autumn every time. Autumn. Dark time. But light clouds. Shrouded in clouds. And trees that have long been leafless. Mushrooms. They still grow. And they're big.

Autumn Island. Once again. Each time, you take the keys to the central island. Around which the autumn islands are located. This means you can stay there while it's autumn. That's how the magic of this place works.

On the central island, there's golden autumn and summer. And nothing more. You walk to a wooden house. Golden autumn surrounds. And you bring the key. And you put them on the table. And now you're on a new autumn island. Here you just have to walk, and for quite a while. Exploring every corner of this island. And the key, you'll see it. It never happens right away. Sometimes it takes two hours, sometimes four hours, sometimes six hours. It usually takes a long time.

It's quiet here. And you're just an explorer. You walk here. You go deeper into the forest. Which is similar. And identical. But if you walk carefully. And once you get deeper into the island, then you usually always find everything. Trees and a gray sky. Visibility is not great. Some kind of fog. There's fog here.

The density of the trees is quite good. You have to walk between them more carefully. The branches are big. And you have to go around them too. There are many branches right in front of your eyes. And you see them. But you have to look and look for the key here.

Moonstones – a week in an anomaly

Moonstones were installed in the back of the spacesuit, like holes in the spine. You can't live here without them. They change the magnetic field and something else. It's still unclear. Without these stones in the back of the spacesuit, you can't be here. Some insane pressure will destroy you. Like the whisper of bright, white, cold stars, it will burn you with its rays. The mental pain will be unbearable.

But with these moonstones, there's a field. It protects you, and you can walk around like a submarine in this moon's magnetic field. Rusty metal structures. Rust falls here instead of rain. And ash instead of snow. Sometimes it's cold. Sometimes it's hot. The climate is still poorly understood. The entire structure has rusted within a week. So you have to get used to the rust.

And the most dangerous thing is the lunar phantoms. Some kind of energy creations. Fluctuations in the magnetic field. Interacting with the mind. And with machines. With electricity. Computers. Lunar phantoms are something like zombies. They materialize in open spaces. And it's as if they're trying to get into something. They're most often found near enormous stones. Which, like columns of something as ancient as the world, rise high into the air. These things are the source of these fields.

They're difficult to scan; the instruments keep breaking down. And so far, we haven't been able to figure out what they are. But these tall stones are the source of the phantoms. That's what makes it so interesting to be here. The stones rise high into the air. Like metal worms. Stone worms.

The next ship will arrive in a week with new attempts to explore these stones. This has proven more difficult. There's been a strong magnetic storm in orbit for several days now. The ship's communication signal is poor. It's lagging several minutes behind. This is a new effect. You've been here for two weeks now. And you're guarding this station from lunar phantoms. There are eight of you guarding here.

You need to hold out for one week. They just said time is slowing down here. And a week will pass, about two weeks. Some kind of vortex. Changing time. Distorting signals. Some kind of storm is approaching. You'll have to survive it. Then it should subside. The lunar phantoms are already becoming more numerous. Laser weapons are already prepared.

The next ship will bring equipment, a new approach to study. And you will fly home.

Alice and the Rabbit

Alice and the Rabbit are very good friends. They've been friends for a long time. The weather is always wonderful, and the summer is always wonderful. Then there's autumn. It's also a very beautiful place. The Rabbit runs up to Alice. There are trees all around. And it's a small forest. It's so sunny. And everything is super great. The Rabbit lives here. He has a house here.

The Rabbit talks about the events of the summer. Look, the flowers have grown. There are such big roses. They're very tall. And beautiful. And the Rabbit always strolls here. There's a forest. And a field. Here you can sit in the shade under the trees. And drink tea.

There are so many good things here. Summer and autumn. That's all there is here. Tall roses grow in the Rabbit's garden. He really wants to show them to Alice. Autumn is warm here. And flowers grow in autumn too. But in autumn there are golden sunsets here. And a refreshing breeze blows.

The Rabbit often sits on the hill and watches the golden sunset. He tells Alice all this. And jumps constantly. And Alice laughs. She's happy too. The rabbit knows how to plant flowers. He loves tall roses.

You can sit and chat for a long time under the shade of the trees. There's plenty of grass around. And you can walk through the field. There's plenty of space here. The sun is shining brightly. It's a warm day here today. It rains sometimes in the evening and at night. The best time to water the flowers is at night.

Alice is walking here. And the rabbit comes here too. That's how they met. Butterflies are flying around. So bright and in so many colors. Lemon. White. And they come in all sorts of colors too. Although these are the most common. They live here. And when they grow up, they fly away to other worlds. Where it's always summer.

The rabbit has a towel. His grandmother gave it to him. She embroiders. Alice complimented his embroidery. And that's how they began to communicate. The rabbit also watches the daisies grow. They grow here on their own. And there are other flowers. And lupines grow here. And delphiniums. This is an incredible place. So beautiful.

Butterflies fly here. Flowers grow. Birds fly here too. There are lots of birds in the tall trees. They all sing songs. Happy songs. There are other bunnies and rabbits here too. A mole. A fox. Lots of people live here. It's a big place. And at night there's a moon. A ghost flies there. You can see it clearly. The moon is quite close to the ground. It seems like if you could get a ladder, you could climb up there.

The rabbit often runs here. In the morning there's a light rain. Lots of water and it's fresh. And then the day begins. And the sun is bright. It's hot. And calm. The best time. Every day is like this here. It's a wonderful place. The rabbit invites Alice to stay here.

Autumn – a quiet island and a stone

This is an island with autumn. Gray skies. And gray trees. But it's still autumn. Not cold. And very quiet. I need to find something here. As always. Now I need to find a stone. A magical stone. And just sail back with it. It's already dark here. Even during the day it's getting dark. And the trees are leafless. But there's still green grass here and there.

It's very quiet and peaceful here. Now I have to wander around this island. I need to bring back the stone. It must be magical. And you sailed here on an old boat. Wooden. As if made from the same kind of wood that grows here. Dark gray wood. And the boat. And you.

Now you wander here like a ghost. And you search for the stone. A black stone. As if from a volcanic eruption. It's black or ashy. It seems so natural. Who would need this stone?

You walk slowly. And with the experience of an adventurer, you examine everything here. In your mind, there's just a stump. And a stone on it. Quite noticeable. Diamond-shaped. And you just pick it up and walk back. You need to go deeper into the island. Just take a stroll. That's all.

An autumn stroll. It's still warm here. Overall, it's a nice place. Cozy. Although a bit dark. There aren't many trees. Mushrooms are rare. Quiet. The perfect place to just stroll. And complete a quest at the same time. It shouldn't be difficult. There's no one else on the island now. Just you. And there's not even a wind. The island is very quiet. Only the sound of your footsteps. And silence. When you stop.

You walk deeper into the island. In a straight line. Straight from the spoon. Judging by the description, it's not a large island. It's like chess here. Reddish earth and dark green. Everything is so intertwined. And there's plenty of space between the trees. This is an autumn island. It's always in autumn territory. In its warmer part.

Autumn and zombies are somewhere nearby

Autumn and zombies are somewhere nearby. You've been warned about this. But for now, it looks like an ordinary autumn forest. Leaves. An orange forest. The wind lifts the leaves. The wind tears the leaves. And a cold wind.

You can't always be prepared. But you can be more or less attentive. Autumn forest. It feels cold. It's cold here. Leaves are falling from the trees. It's leaf-fall time. And complete silence. Leaves and wind. Zombies should be on the road. But they can attack from the bushes. Luckily, the road is wide. And most likely, they wander silently along the road. All you have to do is see a silhouette. There's no one else in this cursed forest. Just you and the zombies. A cold wind and leaves.

The road turns out to be very long; you've been walking carefully for about 20 minutes. And nothing. You should speed up your pace. You just have to be careful. The forest is cursed. There are zombies here. You need to figure out where they're coming from. Rustling leaves. Rustling in the bushes. It's the wind. You need to be more careful. Rustling in the bushes. It's the wind. This could be annoying. There should be zombies here. And so far, none.

Further on, there's an old house. An old mansion. With an underground chemical lab. That's definitely the center of this zombie epidemic. But I just need to get to that huge house. And explore everything. There should already be zombies here. Strange. Where have they all gone? So many questions. And it's hard to find answers. The cold wind doesn't provide answers. Rustling in the bushes. It's the wind. There's a constant rustling in the bushes.

I should probably start running down the road. No one made it home. It's along this road. There's a silhouette up ahead. Someone's standing. This is strange. There shouldn't have been anyone here for a long time. This is the zombie virus infection zone. I need to approach carefully. The road is long. And there's still a long way to go to the silhouette. Luckily, zombies can't run fast. Now you've seen the first zombie. And it's clear you're doing everything right. You're going in the right direction.

I need to examine the zombies. What was clear was the approximate behavior pattern. So there's no need to rush to shoot them. It's too early. Now is the time to observe their behavior. You walk slowly. And you're ready to see the first zombie. There will be more of them further on. This is an autumn road with zombies. To a big old house. There's a lab down there. And there's been a virus leak.

Alice and the Rabbit 2 – The Best Place

This time, Alice is back in the field. And there's her friend – a rabbit. A gray rabbit. The rabbit extends his hand to greet Alice. The rabbit says nothing. Grasshoppers sing all around in the field. You can't see them. But there are so many of them. Alice is delighted to greet her friend.

A wonderful day. A perfect summer's day. Only very hot. But that's the only thing that can be said about such a wonderful day. Otherwise, the day was simply wonderful. Alice arrived by train. And walked across the field. She knew there was a rabbit there. The rabbit remembered Alice, too. And he goes to greet her.

The weather is fine – it's scorching hot. The rabbit is waiting for Alice to come. His hand is outstretched. From a distance, the rabbit looks like a stuffed animal. But the rabbit is real. And Alice is real too. The train has already left. And then Alice will return to the path and go to her house. And the rabbit will run back to his house.

Alice meets an old friend, a rabbit. The rabbit hops with joy. He's a rabbit, after all. Then he hops home. He runs quickly across the field. He can. The rabbit is fluffy. The rabbit tells how he ran with a frog to the pond. It's quite nice there in the shade. You can sit on the bank. In the shade of the trees. It's dark there. The light penetrates from above. Alice can also come to the frog.

It's hot in the field. The grasshoppers are singing. But you can't see them. The rabbit tells that while Alice was gone, an owl flew by. And a snail came. Alice has a letter inviting the rabbit to tea. To another rabbit. The one in the hat. He lives in a clearing. Behind the hills. Alice has never been there before. If you hop there, you'll get there quickly. But walking will take a long time.

Alice says that at the end of every weekend she has to go to town. There are no rabbits there. The rabbit doesn't believe there are no rabbits in town. Alice just doesn't see them. The day off is so short. So little time to be here. This is the best place. So says the rabbit.

Summer Island of Magic

This time, we're on a summer island of magic. The weather is nice here. A breeze is blowing. A bright day. And a light night. It's quite nice here. Large mushrooms are growing. And trees. Soon the trees will put on leaves. We need to find the magic tree. The key to summer grows in it. Right there. Made of moss. It's like an owl's nest. Before everything is overgrown with grass and leaves. Exactly seven days to find this tree.

You've been walking here for about 10 minutes. And you're wondering where the clue might be. There must be some. There are lots of trees. They're leafless for now. And just a little further on, mushrooms are growing. The ground is already covered with grass in places. Just the first bit of grass. The first grass. Everything is growing very quickly. And we need to hurry, everything will start to turn green very quickly with each passing day.

Until this moment, the island was closed to sailing. By a big hurricane. And a huge storm. It's over. And in a week, everything will be green. You arrived as soon as you could. You disembarked. From the boat. The big ship sailed on. And now you're alone. No other adventurers in sight.

You ran straight into the forest. Deep into the island. To explore and look for clues. That will help you find the Key of Summer. The Key of Summer grows every year. And there's only one. There are snow gnomes in the tavern; they'll trade you the Key of Summer for something very valuable. Dwarves can make many interesting things. And they don't like to share them. But in exchange for the Key of Summer, they'll offer you good equipment. It's worth a try. Look for the Key of Summer.

Trees. And mushrooms. Grass grows here and there. It's hard to tell which way to look. It should be moss, judging by the stories in the tavern. It should be a tree. And like an owl's nest. A green key grows there. It's big. But it's quite possible to carry it.

You have your flute with you. But you're not sure this will help. So you go deeper into the forest. You wander around. And you look around. There are trees there. Lots of them. And there are places where lots of mushrooms grow. The Magic Flute shows the tracks of magical beasts. But there's no one here. They'll only come when everything turns green in a week. You've already checked that.

You should look for something that stands out. There are different green areas here. The ground here and there. Light-colored. Grass growing somewhere. Maybe a pattern on the ground? Some kind of line or path. Which one should you follow? Quite possible. But what if it's something else? You should start your search somewhere.

Maybe there will be clues at night? They say the sky is bright here. With lots of stars. The stars are white and clearly visible. There are lots of them. Maybe there's a pattern in the sky? Maybe. Or maybe you need to dig with a shovel? Maybe, but that's more difficult.

Kind Animals Cards Version 0.4 "Little Bird" – even with a field! The bird is jumping!

So it's time to make a new issue with kind animals. They've been waiting for a long time. New cards. And new software. It's summer here. And the best time of year right now. Summer. Positive. Joyful and sunny. It's the time of kind animals. They're all running around somewhere.

This is the 4th version. And it's called "little bird." By chance. Last summer. It was a real bird. Running and jumping in the garden. At sunset. A beautiful summer sunset. Soft rays of sun. Such a golden evening, but it's still practically day. Everything is bright. And so sunny. And a bird is running through the bushes. I watched the bird run. What the bird's name is - I don't know.

This version has new cards again. Software update. New software. Nine new cards. With new animals. They're all kind and cheerful. There's even a squirrel there twice. The background is different. The squirrel runs through the trees, and below there's water or a field. There are two of these cards. The distinguishing feature is that it's like one card. But the background is different. And the animals are different. For the first time, a fish appears here. I thought the fish would be something else. Some kind of new cycle. Perhaps. But for now, the fish are also considered kind animals. And fish are needed here too.

There are birds, a mouse, a rabbit or a hare. And even a mole has emerged. There's also a mole. There are lots of birds too. A gray flycatcher, a blue tit. I myself know little even about such birds. A funny little mouse who walks so cheerfully to visit with long strides. Rabbits with their mother in a field. Lots of rabbits! It's fun. Such is the world of kind little animals. Where every day is summer and they have fun. Among the new features, all programs now launch in the center of the screen. Cards too. This is for convenience and isn't difficult to implement. I'm also learning Visual Basic in VB.NET. Then there are updates to the list—Little List and IconStart. A new setting allows you to specify the path to cards. You specify a folder, and the program searches for them there. New options for the Little List include a random card and printing the list of found cards to a file.

IconStart has also been improved. It now has a Favorites tab with 5 cards. And everything is now in a new control mode—TabControl. The program is sleek and not very tall. But you scroll and see everything. Lots of icons measuring 100 by 30 pixels.  

New software—Icon200. These are also icons, 200 pixels long. The idea is that it will also have its own functionality. Initially, I wanted icons that were 200 in length. But then they got too big, so I reduced them to 100. Now they're 200. Right-click - menu. And minimal functionality. The standard settings interface is there.

And there's also new software – Landscape Generator. This isn't just a list anymore. A fundamentally new type of program. It's already playful and entertaining. It generates an entire landscape. Pixelated. Made of squares. 10 by 10. A playing field. And some animals live there. You can find a chicken there now. A meadow and a river. From the landscape types. A fundamentally new program. This isn't just a list anymore. But some software that will eventually include cards.

Currently, it has a standard interface, and even a path to the cards. But this isn't used in the program itself. For now, there are only six landscape types. Four types for a field. And two types for a river. And some types of pictures like a field. A chicken lives there. On the right, a text field says something about this landscape. When you move the mouse, it says: "There's a field here, and a chicken lives here." For example.

Here's a cheerful little bird. Episode four! The bird is hopping across the field. And soon it will fly back to its nest. And here we have a beautiful summer evening.

Kind animals little cards version 0.4 "Little bird" - it is newest version. 8 new little cards about good and kind animals. With little picture. And small story. New soft, Landscape generator, first version. Soft with lists. Little birds, mole, bunny with a mother, squirell at the tress and another little animals.

Kind Animals version 0.4 – Landscape Generator – Who lives here?

Who lives here? Look, a river. Look, a meadow. Such green grass grows here. But for now, only one chick lives here. He runs along the virtual grass. Among the flowers. The chick lives in the meadow. But there's no one in the river yet. This is the first version of the Landscape Generator program.

This is the first version of the program. The Kind Animals project includes cards. In addition to the cards, there are also some additional programs. For example, this one. There's a 10 by 10 grid. 50 by 50 pixel squares. These are pictures. And there's a button to create a landscape. And it randomly generates a landscape. There are four pictures of a meadow. And two of a river. And in some of the pictures of the meadow, there's a chick.

There's a text field on the right. It says: A description for this cell on the grid. What's the name? For example, this is a meadow. This is a river. And who lives there? So far, only one chick. And what's the name of the image file? This is a program for fun. I planned it a long time ago, and now it's the first implementation.

It doesn't interact with the cards in any way right now. This is just a demonstration of the idea itself. Landscape generation. And it's created. You can click the "Create Landscape" button. And a new landscape will appear. And this happens every time. Right now, that's the main thing here. Plus, the familiar interface from the Good Animals programs. These are the settings. Two languages: Russian and English. Colors. Background color and text color. You can specify a new option—the path to the cards. But in this program, this doesn't affect anything.

In the future, in my dreams, the program could generate a landscape based on the specified cards. A duckling card is a meadow. A fish card is a river. And in one of the cards, such an animal seems to live. All this isn't implemented yet. Only landscape generation is there. The first version. A trial version.

Good Animals cards – here, cards are mainly the main theme. And third-party software. Lists and icons with cards for easy launch. And the third integration. This is landscape generation. These cards could somehow be involved in landscape generation. And some description in the text field.

Such-and-such an animal lives here. This is a meadow. The program expands on the theme of the Good Animals cards. It turns out that, at the concept level, the landscape will depend on the cards. This kind of integration. Along the line of cards, landscape, and software. This hasn't been done yet. Only one button. Create landscape. And a simple landscape is simply randomly generated. 6 is a type of territory. 4 is a meadow. And 2 is a river.

That's all there is here. The project is ongoing. New software is coming. Landscape Generator. This is even a small gameplay element. A landscape for animals. And you can search for who lives where. Such a cheerful pixel background. Pixel pictures. Everything is kind and cheerful. Everything is so summery. And the animals. They're hiding somewhere here. In a field, a meadow. In a river. Find someone.

Yes, it's a fun activity for yourself. Like a board game, I guess. But still. It's an interesting development of ideas with cards. You never know, maybe something interesting will happen! So far, there's only a chick! He lives in a meadow. And he's having fun running among the flowers there. Everything is so low-pixelated. And summery. It's great for the mood.

Kind animals little cards version 0.3 "Grasshopper" - it is newest version. 8 new little cards about good and kind animals. With little picture. And small story. 2 little programs. Grasshopper is excellent musician. Sings songs in a grass. Spring and summer here about theme. Mole, goose and another little animals.

Cold Effect

The new armor, created from fragments, protected well from the supernova's radiation. The specifics aren't specified. That's what they're called. "Fragments." An experimental version. A full protective suit. It's also armor. Even the helmet is like something from the Middle Ages or like a welder's. Some kind of triangular fragments. Different colors stick out here. They're clearly reflectors. It's just not clear what. Not light.

When the alarm sounded, I was already wearing this gear. And then everything went dark. And then, about 15 minutes later, the lights came back on. But there was no one there. The supernova had died down. And it glowed with a bright black light. And then the mutants appeared. There was no one else here.

The protective suit protected me from that. The radiation. But moving in it was like being underwater. Not so easy. You have to walk carefully. But these icy, steely footsteps. They echo. This whole suit is a big mystery. It's not heavy. But it's hard to walk in. And every step makes that sound. Like ice cracking.

Some mutants wander around sometimes. They're distorted. Transformed. There were 10 scientists here with you. But an hour ago. They flew away. And you were left here alone. But then there was a flash. And many mutants appeared. You've already counted about 30 different ones. And you've only been wandering here for about an hour.

You have to get used to how this suit moves. You don't remember how the ship is built. Before the flash. It was a small ship. You knew it. You even thought it compact and cramped. And now you're on a huge station. It's a vast labyrinth. Of identical corridors. They are spacious and large.

Something strange has happened. You tried to take off the suit. But it's as if it's dug into you. And it won't come out. As if tree roots have grown through. When you pull, you feel a sensation. And then a sharp pain. Like ice. You can't even take off this helmet. You remember how the helmet was light as a feather. And the whole suit was light. Why was it so hard to walk?

You're moving slowly. Trying not to attract attention. Your hands are stiff. As if frozen. But you're sure it will pass. So far, you can't grab anything. And your legs are barely moving. Where are you? What is this place? And why is it so cold? Your fingers tingle. You remember what the scientist once said about the cold effect. And then he closed the door. You overheard it.

I played the game Dead Effect 1 last year. It made a huge impression. The character even gets a zombie virus in certain levels. And there are additional effects like slow motion. Interestingly done.

Alice Meets a Rabbit

Alice was walking along a summer path. Or rather, through a meadow. Straight through the grass. It was beautiful weather. Summer. Sunny. Everything was so bright. And then there was a rabbit on the path. Alice approached the rabbit. She wanted to pet it.

The rabbit said:

"Don't pet me! I'm busy! I'm just out for a walk! What are you doing?"

"I'm just out for a walk," Alice replied, surprised.

Alice and the rabbit looked at each other intently. And both were amazed by what they saw. It was perfect summer weather all around. Sunny. Everything was so bright. And serene. As if it were a dream. And Alice was reading "Alice in Wonderland." But it was all real. And she wasn't reading anything. Although "Alice in Wonderland" was her favorite story. And it wasn't a dream. Not a dream at all!

Alice and the rabbit began to hop. Taking turns. And they became very happy about it. They began to laugh. And look at each other. They were having fun. It was genuine fun. They jumped like that for quite a long time and laughed.

It was wonderful summer weather all around. Which was made even better by such fun. The field. It was a wonderful field. With the freshest grass. For the rabbit, this is very tasty. And for Alice, it is fun. When everything around is growing. The sun is shining beautifully. In the distance, a couple of white clouds. Such strange shapes.

Alice and the rabbit shook hands again. And began to laugh again. And jump. They found it very exciting. It was hard to say how long they jumped. Time seemed to fly by. And a very long time could have passed. And all the time it was a bright, beautiful day. Summer is so wonderful and endless.

Alice clapped her hands. The rabbit did the same. It seemed like it was a wonderful time. A wonderful activity. A real rabbit. And it seemed the rabbit was also surprised to see the real Alice. The rabbit must be here every day. And Alice is only here on her day off.

"It was fun!" said Alice.

"Yes," replied the rabbit! "Come more often!" the rabbit said cheerfully.

"I can only take the train on my day off!" replied Alice.

"Okay then," replied the rabbit!

And the rabbit ran off to chew some grass. Juicy and green. He chewed it for a long time. And he found it very tasty.

It's like a cartoon with a low frame rate. And the transitions from one state to another are not smooth. And the drawing style is a little strange. Like the Pint Mouse or Woodruff and Schneeble from Azimuth. I've finally learned to draw like that! I really like Alice in Wonderland too. Simple, fun. And strange! Just right for someone like me.

The Orange Island of Autumn

It's always autumn on the Orange Island of Autumn. The earth is always orange. The island is quiet and chilly. The trees have already shed all their leaves. And many trees have fallen from the heavy rains of the monsoon season. It's cold here. And the bright sun shines brightly, but doesn't warm. Insects live in the fallen trees. In the leaves underfoot, too.

There's plenty of open space. And gray fog. Further on, it's a bit dark because of the fog. This might not be so safe for a traveler. Visibility is limited. You could get lost. Insects are swarming among the fallen trees. Everything looks the same here. Autumn is cool here. Orange and cold. The trees are leafless. All the red leaves are on the ground.

The autumn weather spreads from here. In some seasons, it spreads very widely beyond this island. The center of autumn is somewhere here. No one knows what this center looks like. You walk and already feel the coolness. It's cold here. The further into the fog, the colder it gets.

Perhaps at first there was plenty of sun and a cool breeze. Now it's not so funny. And cheerful. Even colder. Darker. Fog. The magician from the island said there's an autumn crystal here. And the crystal absorbs sunlight. And then it creates autumn. Can you find this crystal? And does it even exist?

Yes, there are magical crystals. They absorb sunlight or something else. Water or cold. Heat. But to create autumn on such a large scale? It must be a very powerful crystal. You've never encountered anything like this before. You should prepare your most powerful magic. The orange forest has already turned dark, gray, and foggy. It surrounds you tightly. Imperceptibly.

But you don't know what's here. A tomb? Some powerful wizard or necromancer. There must be a magical presence here. Creating autumn. Crystal or not. You're not so sure anymore. The further into the forest, the mood changes. Towards a more somber one. The outer part of the island is bright, though cold. But further in, there's fog. And a feeling of emptiness. What's going on here? You're the first adventurer here. There's no one to ask.

The insects no longer scurry about in the grass. This change has only just dawned on you. Where the sun shines, there's no fog. They're only there. From the outside, the island is beautiful and cold. But in the depths, it presents a gloomier spectacle. You glanced at the sky. And there are already dark clouds. Dense. Swirling. Fog, clouds. Like swirling clouds enveloping this place.

What next? Somewhere in this silence, a cold wind blew. As if from the bottom of the ocean, wherever light reaches. And a branch snapped in the distance. Someone is here. The cold. It's getting intense. Of course, this happens in the fall. But the deeper into the forest, the colder it gets. This is clearly the work of a wizard. You've been walking here for several hours now. And I didn't even notice how the weather had changed.

Basically, everything was the same. Orange ground. Leaves. Fallen trees. And trees without leaves. But at the same time, something had changed. And it changed very gradually as you walked. Something to do with magic.

Zombie from a Dark Corner

A black and white photograph. This is all I could gather. Destroyed buildings. Shattered glass. The sounds strongly attract zombies in this area. So it's dangerous to walk here. The flash of light from the camera is also present. Destroyed buildings. The zombies are quite active. A zombie is trying to pick up a chair. And even swinging it. Taking a comfortable position to strike. He noticed.

He's behaving actively and even intelligently. A very interesting detail in the background, which went unnoticed in real time. Apparently, this is fortunate. Some kind of huge spider web. And silence in the dark corner. It's surprisingly quiet here. Even footsteps are clearly audible. Broken glass. Which also makes a sound. Everything is covered in shards of glass. It's impossible to walk silently.

The old floor creaks. Some boards or scattered objects constantly come into reach. The flash of light from the camera also attracts attention. And it's rather dark here. Without a flash, it's impossible to take pictures. This zombie is swinging. And lucky he missed the chair. He couldn't grab it. On the first try. But he kept trying. And he grabbed the chair just fine. And swung it pretty well. Time to leave this room.

You can hear the chair falling. It hit the glass. And broke it. Right where he needed to go. Not a very skillful throw. But with the right direction. It could have worked. It's good that the camera lingered there. Only after the chair fell. He walked there. And left this place. But all places here are like that. A quiet, abandoned place it seems. Broken glass. Objects underfoot. And zombies everywhere on every corner.

It's quite dangerous here. Despite the apparent silence. There was a cobweb there; I only managed to spot it in the photo later. Such an important detail. But it doesn't catch the eye right away. Everything is like that. A dangerous place. But it looks very quiet and empty. Abandoned. It's better not to go too far into this city. And leave it. It would seem the danger level here is low. But they didn't keep an eye on it. The zombies are very active. And they hide in corners. And they're very mobile. It's better to get back as quickly as possible.

Now I can hear footsteps behind me. Quiet again. Quiet. And footsteps. Someone's coming from behind. I need to speed up. It's a shame the photo is in black and white. The camera only took pictures that way. Apparently it wasn't working. I should go back. I should even start running. About 20 minutes of running. And the city will be behind me, and I should catch my breath.

Why is there such a large web in the photo? Or is it distorted in the photo. But it's quiet there. I didn't even notice right away that there was a large white web. No, it's clearly visible in the photo. However, I only managed to see the photo for about 5-10 seconds. While I was standing around the corner. Right when the zombie threw the chair through the window.

What kind of web is that? Why are all the zombies standing so inconspicuous? You can't see them. And then they move. And there's rustling. Because it's dark here. Dark sky. Such an ashen dark sky. It must have rained something viral here. It's kind of ashy here. And the sky is gloomy. Sometimes it's a little lighter. Overall, it's a bit dark here.

Another zombie just came out of the corner. Another zombie came out of the other corner. They even tried to run. But they did it crookedly. That's the only saving grace. Another 15 minutes and this city will be behind us.

A rabbit in the rain

A rabbit in the rain. A souvenir photo. Rabbits only have black and white photos so far. A rabbit in a raincoat in the rain. It's been raining for a long time. All day today. And yesterday too. And all week. The rabbit decided to capture this moment for memory. And asked a friend to take a photo.

And that's how this memorable photo came about. A rabbit in a raincoat is walking through puddles. In the rain. It's raining. Summers are usually warm. But sometimes they're cold. Then the rabbit got a camera. And he decided to take a photo to remember this rainy summer. The path is covered in puddles. Little streams are flowing everywhere.

Streams are flowing all around. The rabbit is walking here. In the shade of the trees, not much water falls. And this is the best place to take shelter from the rain and take this photo. The rabbit will show you this place later. It's not far from his house.

A rabbit is walking through puddles. He boldly walks right through the puddles. What else can you do? You'll get soaked anyway. There are cold summers. There are warm summers. Right now, it's a cool summer. With rain. And it's been raining for a whole week. His friend, the rabbit, was rising into the sky in a hot air balloon. And he saw a clearing there. He says that another week at most and the rain will stop. The rabbit decided to remember this moment. And took a photo.

The rabbit is cheerful. He knows the rain will soon stop. And he will show everyone this photo and tell his story. How he walked in the rain. It was fun. Although even for a rabbit, it's unusual. But there is a raincoat; it helps shelter from the rain.

Although for rabbits, the sun is better. And the rain keeps coming and coming. Dripping. It makes such a noise like a steam locomotive. Or a machine that never stops working, day or night. There is a water machine in the sky. Clouds. And there are rains like this. So says the rabbit who understands steam locomotives. But most likely, he doesn't understand clouds. So says the rabbit who studies the weather. But the idea is interesting.

The rabbit comes here often. And he has a lot of walking to do from one house to another. There's the rabbit waving at him. All the rabbits live in this valley of rabbits. They live here. The rabbit went out for some fresh air. And he's already soaked. He stood there for literally a minute. And he's already running back to his house. I'll have to bring him a raincoat. Not all rabbits have raincoats. It's usually warm and sunny here.

Well, yes, it can rain for a week or two. Now is just such a time. None of the rabbits were prepared for this. Only the postman rabbit was prepared. Because last time all his letters got soaked. From other animals. Who live across the forest. In other valleys. All the animals wrote letters again. But this time, the postman rabbit got a raincoat for himself and the other animals.

An Island with Trees

On this summer's, but not particularly bright, day. The weather wasn't so sunny. You arrived on an island with trees. It doesn't stand out from the other islands. A huge forest. Dungeons. And abandoned ruins. There should be a small, ruined tower here. A system of underground catacombs. And a castle. Like on every island in this group.

Mushrooms grow here. They're quite large. And a series of columns. That's something interesting. Columns. This suggests that something was here in the past. A castle or that very tower. The mage's tower you were told about. That's why you sailed here. You walk deeper into the island.

Trees. You've already noticed that some of them have enormous beehives. But no one bothers you yet. Mushrooms, trees. And gray earth. A typical island. But here, in the distance—where the gray fog is—there should be a mage's tower. There should be something magical and interesting there.

You move forward. You examine the forest. Just a week ago, you saw a similar island. And for a whole week, you were lost in the catacombs. You couldn't find either the castle or the mage's tower. Only ruins. The forest. Mushrooms. And the dungeon. Where you spent the whole week. When you emerged into the sun, you were very happy to see the sunny day.

Now it's the next island. There must definitely be a mage's tower here. You can't return to the city without seeing the mage's tower. Another boat. Another island. You'd already wandered around such an island a month ago. A large island. But there was no dungeon there. Or rather, you couldn't find one. But you were in the forest. For several days. And you escaped from the monsters. It was too difficult. You had to swim back to the city.

And now you're walking through the forest. Forward. Columns. This is a sure sign. There should be a building here. Judging by the columns, a large one. And it must be the mage's tower. Or a castle. Columns. And then the forest again. I need to explore this place more closely.

The islands in this region are numerous. And full of secrets and mysteries, left behind by past civilizations. Castles, ruins, columns, dungeons. Many magical artifacts can be found there. There are so many islands that you'll explore all summer and even touch part of autumn. Until the frost sets in. And you'll spend the winter in the city. Until the second half of spring.

Kind little animals cards – summer list

The time for kind little animals has come again. Because it's summer now. And this time there will be several more programs that display lists with cards. This is a new version of the Small List program. And Icons 100. It shows cards in a list. And you can launch them from there. An expansion of the theme. Not just cards anymore. But also some software. For now, in a simple form. And the pros and cons are clear, but not clear what it's for.

These are lists with cards. In different forms. Here's a small list. The program has already received a number of new features. You can now specify the path to the cards. This is the path to the folder where the cards are stored. And a number of functions related to the list. For now, the functions are unclear. For example, random card. It takes a random card from the list and displays its name in a message. A message box. Or card of the day. For now, this is the same as random card. But over time, we can come up with something interesting. Print to file is available. The entire list is saved to a text file. It contains all the names of the cards from the list.

All these strange features can be further developed. These are additional features. And they already exist. For now, in this form. Also, all the cards are centered. That is, they are displayed in the center of the screen. And all the programs behave the same way. Everything is centered on the screen. It's not even difficult to do.

100 icons. Now all the icons are inside an additional thing. These are like built-in windows. And all the cards are there. All these lists have been updated with new cards. 9 new cards. And some software that displays lists. In different formats. As a list. As icons. 100 pixels wide. And somewhere around 20-30 pixels high. These little stripes. These lists display cards. And they do this in different ways. With icons. Or text. Again, this is a revival of an old theme, for which a new version was long overdue. The animals are doing great this summer, and a new version is already being developed. As the saying goes, the mole and the owl help.

Cards can be viewed from lists. Such as the Small List. Or Icons 100. It shows what was found. In the folder with cards. Now you can specify the folder with cards. In the settings. The path is called. And the search will show what's there. Lists help you view cards. You can launch them from there.

The kind little animals are preparing a gift for all users. This is a new release. It's in production. 9 new cards. And some software. These lists, for example, are already available. I've had an idea for these icons for a long time. For example, 100 by 30 pixels. Or 200 by some other number. And you look at these images and click. And a card opens.

It looks cool visually. And so I'm implementing this idea. So, in the Icons 100 program, there are already a lot of cards. And they are stored inside a TabControl. And you scroll with the mouse. And the program itself—its window—is not tall. It's more long and has a small height. That was the visual image.

Also, there will be a similar program. But with icons 200 pixels long. And taller. That was the idea from the very beginning. But the images seemed too big in the layout. So I reduced them to 100. These are the 100 icons. And a program with 200 icons is also in development. The purpose is not yet clear. But there will be 200 icons too. A starting version. In the future, each program will be developed further. And will begin to specialize, find its own focus. And a landscape is also coming. With friendly little animals. This was in one of the initial versions, as an idea. But it was never implemented. A landscape. With grass and a river, for example. Where the friendly little animals live. A kind of fun map. Which is randomly generated

Kind animals little cards version 0.3 "Grasshopper" - it is newest version. 8 new little cards about good and kind animals. With little picture. And small story. 2 little programs. Grasshopper is excellent musician. Sings songs in a grass. Spring and summer here about theme. Mole, goose and another little animals.

Zombies are walking on mutagens.

Zombies are walking on mutagens. These green puddles are no longer dangerous for them. Even green rivers are no longer dangerous. Some kind of mutational liquid is bubbling there. A whole soup of viruses. In the form of a stable puddle and river. Everything is bubbling. Rings move through the water. And bubbles jump up.

Zombies are walking. They are active. They move confidently. And quickly. But everything here is covered in this green liquid. Zombies are walking right through this liquid. They are actively walking along this river. Some of them fall into this river. And they drink this water. And this happens constantly. They walk here because this is their nutrient solution now. They need it. To continue being zombies. The virus is quickly depleting its reserves.

The zombies are covered in a huge number of bloody dots. This is a reaction to the virus. And they walk actively and quickly. Their reflexes are working very quickly. The pallor is easily compensated for by the bloody dots. Dots under the skin. And they almost glow. They live in the area where these mutagens are spilled and never leave. They are very aggressive towards others. They try to drag them into the mutagens or push them away from important mutagens. It turns out they are quite intelligent. They can act collectively. They have a functioning brain. But their neurons are blocked for everything except simple actions.

They can jump into the mutagens. They can sit there. They have access to all of that. They can drink the mutagens. And grab them with their hands. To pour the solution on their heads. But everything else in the brain is blocked. No personality. Complete emptiness. No memory. Only reflexes, as if the virus rewrote them in the brain. Reassembled the connections in the brain. Significantly simplified them. But retained the reflexes. Actions. They have become fast.

They can wave their arms and warn each other. First, they push everyone away from the mutagens. To keep them for themselves. And then, if that doesn't work, they drag them into the mutagens. And drag them to a place with few zombies. To distribute the zombie population evenly across this river. They control this river. Of green liquid.

This is quite intelligent behavior. Completely changes the host's behavior. But the virus needs this green liquid. Mutagens. A bubbling, boiling solution of the virus. Constant mutations. The virus quickly catches on. There's a lot of it in the water. It mutates. Combinations of the virus are tried. And it catches on a lot. Constantly on every zombie. But the zombies still need to drink the green liquid. They need it in large quantities. Once an hour. Or they need to drink for half an hour.

Friend Rabbit is walking across a meadow

Friend Rabbit is walking across a meadow. He's got just another kilometer to go. And there's a frog's house there. Friends live there. Mole. Hare. Rabbit is resting today. He has the day off. He arrived by train. And now he's going to see his friends. To drink tea. To talk. To play computer games.

It's a hot summer day all around. A calm summer day. Full of heat. Grass grows everywhere. And the rabbit is walking right through it. There are hills here. First you go up. And then down. It's funny. It's much more interesting and varied that way.

There are a couple more hills like that ahead. And there should be houses there. The rabbit's house is on the other side of the station. He also has to walk a kilometer. Across a flat field. And in the middle between them is a station. A railroad.

The rabbit walks and thinks about the sun. And the sky. Summer is so nice. Everything is calm. And he just needs to keep going. It will be here soon. All the animals are busy with their own things. And they might forget that a rabbit has come to visit them on the weekend. What a surprise! The mole will probably jump up.

Then the rabbit will go home. Drink tea. Work on his garden. And then lie down to sleep. The rabbit will be tired. That's how the rabbit's day off will pass. The happiest day is a day off. Then the rabbit will go to town again on errands.

And now he's walking straight through the grass. He's already seen his friend, the grasshopper. He went straight to his house. The grasshopper is a musician. He has no time. He'll rest at home. And then practice. The rabbit met a snail. The snail goes to his house too. There was a beetle. The beetle also went home. And the rabbit goes to his friends.

While the rabbit is walking, he admires the field. The rabbit loves to walk here. Hills and a field. The most wonderful place. There's nothing else here. If you go by train, there's forest on all sides. And when you arrive, there's nothing but field and hills. On one side of the station is a field. On the other, hills. How cleverly everything is constructed.

None of the animals have ever seen the end of these hills or the end of the field. Perhaps only the musician grasshopper. But he travels by train. The astronomer crow constantly looks at the sky. And flies. But he doesn't look for the edge of the field. He spends most of his time looking at the sky. And the rabbit goes to his friends. They are always happy to see him. Even if they forgot that today is the rabbit's day off.

A magical cache—what's the secret?

You're approaching the magical cache. There's a magical glow among the bushes. And there's a magical item here. The one you've been searching for so long. You heard that story a month ago about magical light in the forest. And magical caches. And now you've found just such a thing. You move slowly forward.

In the evening, when it's already dark, you find this place. There might be wolves here. And zombies. You need to be careful. You've gone into the forest quite far from your usual areas. Where there's plenty of light and the monsters are weak. The cache is right here. And it's more dangerous here.

You approach, taking one cautious step after another. There might be more traps here. You've never heard anyone claim to have discovered this cache. The glow shifted slightly. How strange. As if some kind of moths were glowing. The wind is magical.

You walked around the glow. You already have a camping shovel in your inventory. You're ready to start digging right under that bush. But the glow has shifted again. It's getting dark. You don't have that much time. Why is this happening? Some kind of magic is involved here. That's for sure. But where is the hiding place? And why is this glow moving like that?

You dug where the glow had just been, but the ground is hard. Then you followed the glow and dug again. There are rocks there. There's a secret here. You just need to understand the pattern of these magical lights and figure out what to do. Maybe they're pointing somewhere.

You watch the glow. How it moves. But you can't figure out what's going on yet. Meanwhile, it's getting darker. It seems you'll have to go back soon. Along the long road to a familiar part of the forest. But you don't want to return empty-handed. And so you try to figure out the secret.

Kind little animals cards – mole, bunnies, birds, plus 9 cards!

Summer is here! The sun is shining again. Everything is so summery. And fun. Kind little animals are back in development. A new version of the cards. Today, it's about 8 + 1 card. Sort of 8 new cards with kind little animals. And one card is a variation on the theme. It has a different background. It's for a squirrel. Otherwise, everything is the same.

I draw kind little animals. My regular theme. It's a picture and a story. A short one. That's how it appears on the blog. Here's this version of the program. Release. Includes cards for 2025. That's already a program. Kind little animals cards. First of all, the cards themselves. And some other software. Today, it's about the cards. Each card is a small program. Written in VB.NET. In Visual Basic. You could say so. There's a picture. A story. It's the same as the blog. And it's in the app format. There are settings. Language selection—English or Russian. Color scheme selection. Text, background. You can choose colors. And view the image. And read the story. It's about animals. Each card is an animal.

The first card. It's about a fish. I've never seen such kind little animals before. I even thought about making a separate episode about fish. Well, maybe I'll do that later. But for now, the first fish in the kind little animals series. A vendace. A clever fish, by the way. Swimming calmly and thinking about all sorts of things! The fish says, "Hello!"

A little mouse goes to visit another little mouse. Such a playful picture about mice. These are kind little animals, after all. So they visit each other. The little mouse, happy and cheerful, walks through the grass. Looks around. It's real summer here. And he's in a great mood. So why not go visit. His friend. Grass. Everything is green. So beautiful. This picture conveys a true summer mood.

A gray flycatcher. It's a small bird. It has its own nest in a tree hollow. And it's busy. And today the bird is flying across the field, inviting everyone to play hide-and-seek. Beetles, sparrows. Today you can relax. Especially since it's still spring. The sun is waking up. It's already bright and sunny. There's grass. You can chat with friends and play hide-and-seek. In the picture, it's still only spring. And everyone is waking up after winter. Lots of sun and fun awaits. A great mood – for the future, fun, positivity, joy.

A bird is hopping through the bushes. Such an orange picture. A sunny sunset. A sunny sunrise. I saw this in my garden in the summer of 2025, for real. In the golden rays of the sunset, such a bird was running and examining everything. Jumping, you could say. From one pile of planted plants to another.

Golden light. Piles of soil. Something is growing there. Something small. A salad or a radish. And a little bird hopping. Looking around. The sun is shining all around, and it's a wonderful, carefree summer evening. Not hot, but warm. I'm in a great mood. Calm and positive. This is one of the reasons I wait for summer. For days like these.

A squirrel jumping from tree to tree. This is a bit new. These are two cards. They just have different backgrounds. A field and a sky. Two versions. The sky is a blue background. And the field is a green background. And so the kind little squirrel jumps from branch to branch. And goes to its nest. Grasshoppers below. Then a river. It's interesting to look at what's below. From the branches, everything is so new and interesting.

A blue tit is flying. A wonderful summer day. A tree. Bushes. Grass. A bird is flying. From the tree to the grass. And it does everything quickly everywhere. And it looks. Literally - a minute here. And then further up the tree, look for the bird. And then she runs around the clearing again. Such a lively little bird. This is a real story. I saw a bird doing just that at the dacha. During the day. Hopping in the field. In the bushes. Then I saw her in a tree. And so on constantly—back and forth.

Mother rabbit with her babies. Also an interesting drawing. Maybe a little different in style. And another series could be made based on this drawing. But these are all kind little animals. And for now, everything is within the framework of the card project. Mother and babies in a clearing. It's nice here. The grass is delicious. Everything is sunny. They are playing and having fun.

A mole emerges from underground. The last drawing. In this version. The mole emerged. And didn't damage the flowers. He planted carrots and radishes. And says hello!

Kind animals little cards version 0.3 "Grasshopper" - it is newest version. 8 new little cards about good and kind animals. With little picture. And small story. 2 little programs. Grasshopper is excellent musician. Sings songs in a grass. Spring and summer here about theme. Mole, goose and another little animals.

Three zombies, three friends, are walking out of an industrial zone.

Zombies are walking out of an industrial zone. They're limping leisurely across the dry ground. Not even grass grows here. Beyond that is an industrial zone. They say there was a chemical release into the atmosphere a week ago. But that's just a rumor. It must be a zombie virus. Three zombies, like three old friends, are walking home.

They're walking leisurely. Limping. Sometimes they try to speak. And you can even make out the words. It's amazing. We're going home. That's what they sounded like. And they haven't even completely lost their minds yet. Another one replies. Yes, we're going home. As if they were walking home in the evening.

But their eyes are huge. They've grown in size. Their eyes are red. And it's as if a mosquito has drunk blood. And its body is swollen. Their eyes are so big. It's hard to see what's there. With those eyes. They're walking slowly. Almost normally. But leisurely. And there are bruises everywhere. Pale skin.

There's a breeze blowing here. It's already cool. Sunset. And behind them are industrial buildings. And a vast wasteland. Nothing grows here. Some zombies are walking. They're probably still conscious. They're trying to communicate.

What are you going to do tonight?

I'm going home!

Yes! We're going home!

Almost a normal conversation. They're walking. They turn a little corner. And they continue walking slowly. They clearly remember where they need to go. They're walking straight through a field. Where nothing grows. It's a bit chilly here. And the zombie remembered that it's a bit chilly here.

It's a bit chilly here!

Yes!

It's a bit chilly here!

They're hobbling and walking. They even communicate sometimes. They're probably seeing everything. Everything's just a little reddish. They're probably feeling increased pressure. Nosebleeds. Eyebleeds. And their heads feel so bloated. Like they're flying. But you're walking slowly. That's how the virus works.

The focus is entirely on the road. And the movement. Such a monotonous movement. They're just walking. Going home. Focus. It's as if you're watching the road very carefully. Sometimes you remember certain words. And they speak.

How are you?

Let's go home!

We're almost there!

They speak a little crookedly. As if the words are difficult to come by. But they can speak just fine. The virus has mutated again. And here it is. Consciousness is preserved.

The bunny is walking – jumping for a carrot!

The bunny is walking across a field. The grass is green. And down there – a carrot is growing. The bunny planted it himself and ran every day to watch it grow. Everything has grown! And now he can eat a delicious carrot. And look at the sky. And there’s a big lake ahead. Beautiful.

The field is green. The grass is growing everywhere. And the bunny confidently strides. Across the field. It’s not far from his house. Literally half an hour. And in all directions from the house, the bunny planted carrots like this. And now he’s going to eat!

The clouds are so white. And barely noticeable. Against the backdrop of such a sunny day. The sunniest day – that’s what this place is called. The bunny himself named this place that. And he lives here. He has a lot to do. He needs to build a house. Another house – further on. He needs to visit the bronze beetle. And the cockchafer too. He needs to drink tea.

But that's okay. There are countless days like this ahead. And you can do everything. The mole dug a tunnel. You can run quickly. Under the lake. If necessary. The bunny hasn't really been to the other side of the lake yet. That's where the mole lives.

And there's the carrot. Big and juicy. Green leaves. The carrot has grown beautifully.

Jump down a bit here. And then sit here on the hill and look at the water in the lake. Such blue water. Beautiful. And the water is calm. Someone lives there too. Then the bunny will go to his house. Play 8-bit PlayStation. Play Tiny Toon with the bunny. The bunny is studying. So he can make new levels for this game too. The mole said that while the bunny is studying, he'll come up with a couple of levels for him. There's the same sky there too. And grass. And you have to jump a lot!

The bunny really likes the first level. Everything is just like his. It even rains here. During the day, too. And you can sit in the house. Drink tea. Play video games. Take a nap. And then run again. See what's where. It really is wet. And then you can go back to the house. Read a book. Tales of the Rabbit Brothers. Tales of the Bunny Brothers. There are already many volumes out. Every time, the Rabbit in the Hat brings new books.

The Rabbit in the Hat. He lives in his own world. And there's a table there. Where all the animals come. It's the central place. The Bunny goes there too. But not very often. Mostly to get the latest edition of fairy tales. And talk to the other animals.

And for now, you need to run for a carrot. And eat it leisurely. Delicious! Very delicious! Your ears are practically wiggling. And you sit there, legs straightened, and leisurely eat the carrot. Carrots. It's so delicious. Your ears are practically wiggling.

I almost forgot: the Bunny will come from the other side of the world in the evening. Play Felix the Cat. It's also an interesting 8-bit cartridge. It's also the first level. There's grass there. And everything is as green as here. They'll play until evening. Then the bunny will go to bed. It's a lot of fun here.

Grass and Trees 3 – Elven Autumn Forest

A vibrant autumn landscape greets us on this beautiful amber island. A wonderful forest. This autumn has covered the entire surface with yellow leaves. Very beautiful. And quite warm, although a cold breeze blows. Here we must search for a magical amulet left by the elves.

And so, decades later, you are here. The wizard from Korvun said there is a magical amulet here that suits you perfectly. It is hidden in this autumn forest. Among the leaves. When the elves sailed away on their winged ships, they left behind some magical objects. You must find this amulet before the cold weather sets in. With the cold, a chill autumn fog will come here. And the island will disappear into it. To preserve its autumn forest. Until next autumn.

There are exactly seven days. The magical days are ticking. On the hourglass the wizard gave you. You must explore everything. The island is quite large. There are no monsters here. Only endless leaves. And the trees. And the breeze. You begin to examine the forest. And so far, everything looks like an autumn forest. It's hard to say where exactly to look for the amulet.  

You're already walking through this forest. And you look around. Sometimes the breeze dies down. Sometimes it's gone, and even the sun warms it. And sometimes the breeze gets stronger. It seems to be controlled somehow locally. Magically. You've realized it. The weather is slightly different in each place. The whole earth around is covered in autumn leaves.

You're sure that magic will show you the way. But for now, you're simply immersing yourself in the forest. There's still a week ahead. And you're confident in your abilities. Although you don't know where to start searching. For now, you're simply walking into the forest. You've surveyed it from the ship. From the mast. You've even tried to memorize the landscape. Draw a map. But it seems useless.

You've been walking for a full hour. And you're a little tired. Your boots are excellent. And your steps are easy. But the forest is always the same. Different trees. And everything around is covered in leaves. What is there to see here? And the island doesn't seem small anymore. The forest is simply enormous. A whole hour. And in every direction, everything is the same. It's already becoming a puzzle. A riddle. An elven autumn riddle. The ground is almost flat. Some depressions. Some elevations. But not high at all. And trees. Nothing but trees. You're already thinking that if you had to defeat a monster, it would be even easier. But there's no one else here. Leaves and trees.

For an hour and a half, you've been deep into the forest. Everything looks exactly the same. You need to memorize the way. Otherwise, you'll get lost. You didn't ask how big the island is. Usually, there's a forest on an island. A field. Monsters. A cave. A dungeon. A castle. Abandoned ruins. Well, everything is there. And this time, just an autumn forest. You had to ask something. It seemed as simple as could be. You swam to the island, took an amulet from the ground. Made of leaves. And swam home. A sunbeam shines somewhere. The sun's rays fall gracefully on the leaves. Could this be a clue? Too simple. But what else? Here's a sunbeam leading you deeper into the forest. Here's a sunbeam jumping off to the side. The leaves on the ground thickly cover this island. Like a carpet of leaves. And the breeze blows differently. Sometimes there's none.

You walk through the forest for two hours. Deeper. You turn off a bit. Check what's to the side. But nothing particularly new. The sky is bright. As if it were still summer. Some clouds. It looks like a perfectly ordinary forest. Of identical trees. And it's autumn. Beautiful. But where to look for the amulet here? Seven days of searching ahead.

BASIC Moss - Five BASIC Languages in One Program

This is a very small application dedicated to BASIC. It's such a wonderful programming language. For me, it first appeared in the 90s, along with Microsoft Quick Basic 4.5 built into MS-DOS 6.22. It's brilliant! Inside the DOS folder, there's a ready-made BASIC language. For schoolchildren and for learning. A more than good thing! Doing something other than playing games? Of course, mastering BASIC.

This program is very small. And it has an idea. Having several BASIC languages at your fingertips. That is, you launch the application and have access to several BASIC languages. The dialects I've found, or which I use myself, are Free Basic, Qb64 Phoenix Edition, Qb64, BBC Basic For SD1 2.0, and PC Basic. Five types of BASIC. Five dialects.

What this means is that the program shows you these BASICS and something about them. It's like an audio cassette tape with two sides: the Web side and the Software side. The Web side shows you websites with these dialects. These are the official websites of these dialects. You can read the news there and download the latest version. The Software side shows you these programs running on your local machine, the ones you're already programming in.  

For example, if you want to program in the Qb64 environment, you go to the Software side. Click the Qb64 button. The Qb64 development environment opens. It has everything. Except Free Basic. It's more complicated. There's no standard environment as such. Write wherever you want. In your favorite code editor. For example, Vim. Then you launch Vim.

Of course, the Web side. It's pre-programmed, so to speak. Websites with these programming languages won't disappear from the Internet. Click the button and you're taken to the website. But the Software side... That's a question for the user. You need to configure it. First, all the paths are empty. There's a settings file for that called ExePath.txt. It's five lines. For each programming language, which one to launch. Or from the program itself. Menu. There's Exe Paths. And you enter it there. You can configure it in the program itself.

So for Qb64, this is the path to the .exe file that launches this development environment. This applies to all languages except Free Basic. It's best to specify the code editor environment there. GVim, for example. Or whatever environment you prefer. Atom. Something else. That is, this is the code editor where you'll write the code. Most of the languages listed here have a built-in development environment. It's convenient and easy to use. Well, basically, you specify the code editor where you'll write everything. If you wanted to program in Qb64, you pressed a button. And the Qb64 code editor program opens, and you write the code. That's the idea behind the program.

So everything is at your fingertips. Regarding BASIC. Here's the website. I visited it and checked the news. Here's a code editor, an integrated environment. I started writing program code. A program like this. Moss. A plant grows. It just keeps growing. I'm a plant lover. Moss seems like something funny. And what grows?

There's a choice of languages: Russian and English. There are settings for paths to the code editor or the IDE. Executable files of these programming languages. Or an executable file of the code editor. The program is small. It's vertically oriented. And there are two buttons. The web side is for visiting the websites of programming languages. And don't forget to check the news and download the latest version. And the software side is a bunch of buttons—five of them—and you launch it. And off you go—coding!

The buttons are icons and logos of these programming languages. At the bottom, there's a window, a text field with some information. It just contains the name of the programming language and the website. This field isn't very informative yet. At the top, there's a menu item. There's the language, executable paths, and what to launch first: the software side or the web side. The program will remember that, too. And it will run as you choose. And an exit button. And information. There's the program version. Currently, it's 0.1. Happy programming to all BASIC lovers! In its various dialects.

Moss version 0.1 – most first version. In this version there is Basic Moss! For comfortable launch of Basic. 5 types.

Digital Reader – fantasy houses and a star in space

In this starting, very first version. There are two stories. Now about the artistic part. Digital Reader is both software and reading. That is, reading short stories. With a picture. The title page of the story is the picture and the title. And the stylization with the color scheme. The story's letters and the background.

It's also reading stories. Picture and color scheme. Two stories. One about fantasy and adventure. The second is science fiction and space exploration. Adventure and the sea. On one hand. And the depths of space. And a bright star on the other. Two stories. On different topics. One thing in common – they are short stories.

The first story. Adventurers. It tells of adventurers walking along the pavement. In the city. To the port. There are already sailing ships. And a blue sky with clouds. They are walking. And preparing for a new journey. It's like fantasy. Like anime. Like the YS video games where the hero sails on a ship. Then there's a shipwreck. And he's off on a new adventure. Or like anime about fantasy adventurers, or Dungeons & Dragons.

Only here there are heroes, a whole party, a bunch of heroes, a group. A mage, a warrior. Different classes. A healer. There's an elf. Literally four heroes. They're heading to the ships in the port. Their vacation is over. And they're ready for new adventures. Summer. A fresh sea breeze blows. The heroes are walking. And they say goodbye to the city. They won't see it again for a while.

You—you ended up in this world, you don't remember how. Like in Final Fantasy 10. You just ended up in this world. And you became an adventurer. Here the crew is heading to the ship. To sail again. To the island. To explore it. I'm already remembering episodes from previous dungeon crawls. I myself used to be a fan of watching anime. Slayers. Slayers. That's what it was called. About the sorceress Lina Inverse. And her friends. This is also a good memory. To begin the story.

Look at the picture I drew. This bright sky. Clouds. Such beautiful houses. And a stone pavement. And you're walking among these houses. Just like the island in Might and Magic 6, 7, 8. There are often islands there. I love that series of games – Might and Magic 6, 7, 8 in particular. This blue sky. This green grass. And such houses. One-story houses. I remember them very well. Here's the illustration.

Color scheme. Light. Bright. White background. Everything is so light and relaxed. Like a seagull in the sky. The sea. The ocean. And the sky. Pleasant weather.

The second story. A Star Explosion. It's written in a different style. Science fiction. Science. And space exploration. You're aboard an exploratory starship. Such a noticeable size. Like the Enterprise from Star Trek. And you look through the central screen. The front screen. At a huge star. Scientists have already figured out what will happen next in this star's life. And here's an observation. And a reflection. Calm. About space. Cosmic forces, the elements. About the future.

A reflection on how even your research spacecraft might visit this place again. And see a new cycle in the star's life. Similar research topics were in Star Trek: Voyager, The Next Generations. Probably my favorite TV series. I was studying to be an engineer and watched them with pleasure. Motivation to finish my studies. To reach the end. Half reality. Half dream. Such a leisurely story.

Done in black. Space is black. Majestic and calm black. And an image of a sphere. Just a circle. A huge yellow circle. It's a star. And black space. Something to think about. About life and about yourself. To think about space, stars, an engineer. A writer.

These are two stories for the very first version of the Digital Reader. A reader also means reading! Two short stories!

Digital Reader version 0.1 – most first version. In this version there are 2 stories! Adventurers, Explosion of a star. And also program Reader and program for launch.

Zombies that stand and stare ahead

The zombie virus infection spread very quickly. In just a week, hundreds of residents became zombies. They now wander slowly. And stand and stare into the distance. This virus is less active. And it makes them more passive. It's as if they're just standing and staring. As if they're tired. And they need to rest. But it's the same thing. A zombie virus. Only different.

The zombie virus is another type. More passive. They don't even try to be aggressive. All reflexes are suppressed. They stand and stare at the wall, as if. From a distance, it's not even clear what's going on. Pale skin. Sedentary behavior.

There's a void in their heads. It's as if their entire consciousness is blocked. They simply remain motionless. Sometimes they take steps forward, but their mobility is very limited. They can walk slowly. They don't even seem dangerous at first glance. This type of zombie is not very common. A rare occurrence.

Sometimes they start walking slowly. Somewhere ahead of themselves. They can't turn. Only forward movement. No breathing. Pale color. And mostly a stagnant demeanor. They don't make any sounds either. As if hypnotized.  

The virus came from the field. On the wind. Perhaps with some insects and worms from underground. This species is characterized by stable behavior. This area is quarantined. But the sign was broken. Someone broke it. And you drove here. You were driving to the village. One you hadn't been to in a long time, to see what it was like now. And what you saw were the living dead.  

Yes, there was something said about a zombie virus on the radio. But that was somewhere else. In the city. Some lab. In a swamp. And now you've seen it with your own eyes. Of course, you have a notebook. And you've written down everything you know. You have a gas mask with you. It's saving you. But your supply of purifier will soon run out. It's time to leave. Enough notes. The main thing now is to reverse to a larger area. Turn around there. And head back.

You didn't manage to learn much this time. But at least you took a couple of photos. And made initial notes. Confirming the general behavior. From the manual. Which was written quickly. Someone even suggested ideas. That they had a collective mindset. Nothing of the sort. The virus isn't capable of such a thing. Some kind of mutation simply occurred. A predictable one. Something caused this virus to change. And that caused this reaction.

Thanks!!!!! Have a nice day!

Kind Animals web – sites with friends. An elephant and a cat.

Summer has begun, and I'm also reviving my developer skills. I hope so, at least. I remembered the web direction. I had ideas for sites about kind animals. A cat, an elephant. I'm also practicing the most basic web, meaning HTML tags. And this is my creative project too. And somewhere in the late autumn of 2025, I stopped. Now I'm back. And I'm releasing a version.

Here's the new version of Slonik HTML. Here's the same version of Cat, but with an English translation. And "Web of Kind Animals" – I think this is the first publication. Maybe I mentioned it. So, this is a full-fledged release within the Kind Animals Web direction. Three sites. Two animals. An elephant and a plush cat. And the web is a little website, essentially a single page, with links to kind little animals on their personal pages.

These little animals are my friends. They're plush toys. They're kind little animals, that's all. And not only that. I also draw kind little animals. It's a big and important artistic theme for me. Right now, within the web direction, these are plush toys. An elephant and a cat.

Elephant HTML is the very first website I started making. New pages have appeared there. Small pictures—brickwork. Some stories. Like, at the river. An elephant drinking tea. An elephant and his favorite NES console. The elephant is small and cheerful. He goes to school. He plays NES. He loves this 8-bit console. There are pages like an elephant and the NES console. He seems alive and lives his own life. He runs to the river. He drinks tea.

The second is a cat. A plush toy. This is also a personal page for an animal. The cat is also small. He lives in a magical tree. And here is his page. He shows us his house. The rooms there are different. Almost like endless rooms. In his magical tree house. Here he drinks tea. Here he sleeps. Here he reads fairy tales. He collects fairy tales. It's his hobby. For example, Slavic fairy tales. And he has a garden. He grows things there. It's all about him.

The third is a web. It's a collection of links to these little sites. The central part, so to speak. Just like it used to be. A site map. In the form of images. Click on the picture of the elephant and you're taken to the elephant's website, for example. Accordingly, there are two versions of each site. A Russian and an English version. They are like independent versions.

We could tell more about each animal separately. But after such a long winter hibernation, I'm trying to get it all out in print. Now the Kind Animals web needs to be revived as soon as possible. We already have sunshine and summer! Summer is just beginning! I need to gather my strength over the summer. And here are three little websites.

The Kind Animals web has come back to life, and there are even three projects here. Three websites. And these websites originally had the idea of simple HTML. I'm just practicing simple HTML. To remember the tags. Practicing. And I'm writing something else about kind animals. I have Kind Animals Cards, I haven't updated them in a while. Winter was long for me. And there are drawings. And here are also websites about kind animals. New format. Here are the plush toys.

Which are always with me. As one programmer said. Hugh. This teddy bear is my programming companion. Always on the table nearby. A big teddy bear. I have friends, too, who are stuffed animals. Several of them. I wanted to make websites about them!

Stuffed animals. Always with me. Kind little animals. They live in their own magical world. And you can learn about this magical world on these websites. It's like a special segment of the internet. Like liminal spaces. Just their own world of kind little animals and their own internet. With websites about these little animals. That's the idea. So far, three websites have been developed. One page for navigation. And two websites about friends. An elephant and a cat.

Mom meets a little bunny

Mom meets a little bunny. The little bunny has been out all morning. Now it's almost time to run to lunch. The little bunny went to his little house a little earlier. He'd been running all morning. And he didn't even notice how the morning flew by. The sun is shining beautifully. There was a heavy rain last night. And now it's not too hot yet. But it's warm. And it's nice to breathe, run, and jump!  

The sun is bright and gentle all around. Everything is shining. As if light is everywhere. And everything is in soft tones. Every day is a carefree summer for the little bunny. The only thing to remember is to be on time for lunch. And if you get carried away, Mom will come for you.  

There's the grass and the hills. They look so beautiful from here. The little bunny is still little. And the hills seem big to him. As do some of the bushes and trees. How beautiful it is here. There's Mom. Now they'll leisurely stroll behind those hills. Their little house is there. And a delicious lunch. With carrots. And lettuce leaves for dessert. Delicious!

Mom is kind and good. They all have huge ears. And bunnies and hares. They are all friends. And they live nearby. And bugs live here. It's time to go to lunch. The bunny was just heading to the house. There's Mom. This is fun! There's Mom. And the sun! Such a wonderful clearing. And so much green. What sunshine! The hottest part of the day is still ahead. You can sit in the house and read stories. You can lie down and sleep.

Mom is smiling. Mom is kind. Now they are already on their way. In the meantime, everyone is laughing. It's fun here. And there are always so many interesting things. There is a lot to do in the field too. There are lots of bugs there. You can play. Different games. Run. Jump. Hide in the grass. Relax. Go to the river. There are already frogs there. They like to drink tea. And there is a river with beautiful water. Cool water. Cooling off is just the thing. Bugs are often there, too.

And then it's time to go to lunch. Then in the evening, the bunny will come back to play with them. It's already before the golden sunset. And then he'll go to sleep. He'll dream. Fairy tales. And his own stories. And he'll remember today and the days gone by. Every day is something new and interesting.

Grass and Trees 2 – Purple Twilight

Twilight. Purple twilight. Trees. It's getting dark and dark. This forest can be very dangerous. You should cross it quickly. Before the purple night arrives. Faster. There should be dire wolves on the night of the purple moon. Your character is still too weak for them.

So run through this evening. Through the trees. There's a village there. And a city. You can't miss them! The trees can be prickly. And they can catch you. Stopping your run. It's like a maze here. And you have to. Turn in different directions. The main thing is to move forward in the right direction.

The black wolves with yellow eyes are large. Half your height and very massive. They'll appear soon. And they'll see you first. And then you'll have to run even faster. But there's time. You need to cross this forest.

A purple sunset. So attractive. You can admire it for a long time. But it can be both beautiful and dangerous. Enormous eyeless worms will emerge from the ground. It's time to start moving. Through this forest. The orange earth is so dense, but only in appearance. There are huge worms crawling underground.

Run through the forest. It's like a maze. The trees may not let you through. And before it gets too dark. It will take some time. Just reach the other side of the forest. There's a city. That's salvation.

This is a fantasy world. Grass and Trees 2. New grass and new trees with a new story. Sunset, almost night and fantasy. And you run through the forest. Purple sunset. This is such a world.

Digital Reader version 0.1 – the software part of the solution

Time passed, and finally I completed another of my developments. Another direction. It's software and literature. And a bit of drawing. And color selection. This is Digital Reader. It's software that allows you to read short texts. It's designed as an MS-DOS viewer in Norton Commander. There are two stories for this version. One is fantasy. The other is science fiction. And you can read them in Digital Reader.

This is a comprehensive solution for reading short stories. This is the Reader program. That's what it's called. You read stories in it. Small in size, in theory. Written in the QB64 Phoenix Edition programming language. This is another variant of Qb64. My first attempt. But it's very similar to QB64, so you could say they're the same thing.

In this first post, I should talk about the software. This is the Reader program. A simple program for reading short texts. Stories. I created it primarily for this purpose. So that readers can read my stories using this program, I wrote the reader myself.

It looks like Norton Commander or Volkov Commander. Retro styling. Everything is listed at the bottom. Menu. Up and down arrows move forward and backward through pages. For convenience, there's a function to jump from the first page to the last. And vice versa. You can also hide this menu. And there's an information menu. It contains all the information used in the program: color palettes, text titles, page count. Everything is controlled by the numbers 1, 2, and 3. And 0 exits the program. Simple. Like on MS-DOS.

I thought long and hard about it, but overall, the program is ready. And it's ready to use. I named the program "Reader." That's one thing. Digital Reader is a comprehensive solution. Software + stories. And styling. The program is simple and ready to use. I was thinking about writing version 1.0, but I named it version 0.1. It's like a starting point. Together, it's like the comprehensive Digital Reader solution. Version 0.1 is just the beginning. So, Reader 0.1 works perfectly. Version 1.0 could have been written. All the intended functions are implemented.

There's also a Launcher included. From there, you launch what you need, just like from a .bat file. There are two stories now. That's where you choose. So, you need to launch the Launcher. It's just a text menu, like MS DOS. You select which story you want to read by pressing 1 or 2. The Reader program launches, which already has the text for the desired story loaded.

That's basically it for the software. But another topic related to the software is styling. A set of color schemes. Each story comes with its own design theme. Four options here: Story text color. Story background color. Text color for control buttons. Background color for control buttons. Four colors in the RGB palette from 0-255 for each component.

Thus, the Reader program takes data from the story folder. And each story has its own folder. There's a file with the color scheme there. An image file. A text file. Each story for the Reader program is a folder containing three files: a color scheme, an image, and the story text.

This Launcher passes the path to the story folder as a parameter to the Reader program. It then grabs it all and applies it. It loads the color scheme, the text itself, and the image with the illustration. So, the Reader program has a launch parameter. This is the path to the story folder. In the format described. It should contain the color scheme, the text with the story, and the image.

In fact, the Reader works just like that, if you launch it. That's the secret. By default, it looks for the Data folder, which is where all of this should be. The format is the same: the Data folder should contain the color scheme, the text with the story, and the image.

This is the software side of the issue. And the styling. Each story is planned as a separate folder, containing a file with the color scheme, an illustration, and the text itself. The text is in text form. The line length is 128 characters. The Reader has 45 lines per page. 45 lines is one page. That's how pages are counted. Plus, page number one is always the image and the title of the story. It's like a title page. So, the first page of the text file containing the text itself is page number two.

The Reader program loads from the Launcher, and you see the story's color scheme, the illustration, and the text itself. That's the idea. That's why I wrote my own software. I dream of writing my own software. Office-grade software. For simple tasks. Simple solutions.

So, welcome to the Launcher and the Reader!

Digital Reader version 0.1 – most first version. In this version there are 2 stories! Adventurers, Explosion of a star. And also program Reader and program for launch.

A zombie fell out of the bushes after a mosquito bite.

Autumn leaves glowed like light bulbs in the dark light. A swamp. It was dark here. And damp. Very cool. The wind was already blowing cold. It was autumn, after all. But the zombie didn't feel any of this. And didn't understand. He practically fell out of the bushes and walked. Along the swamp.

Somehow, he knew the swamp was dangerous. And he had to walk along the edge. He walked a little slower than a normal person. And he even remembered. How he'd been bitten by a mosquito. And contracted some kind of virus. A week ago. He itched. And then reddish dots appeared. Like bleeding. He didn't have time to be scared. Everything happened quickly. The process was fast. He'd just gone to bed. And woke up in the bushes. Was it a dream? A transformation after an illness. The virus had done something to him. Some strange, large, green mosquito. He remembered that, too.

His mind was still working. He clearly remembered certain scenes as if they had happened yesterday. He was itching. And walking. Then bruises appeared. And he fell. And woke up in the bushes. He hadn't gone to bed. He had gone to bed the day before, at home. And then, during the day, he had gone into the forest for a picnic. On his day off. He loved wandering here. It always calmed him. And now here he was wandering.

He was almost fine. He had just gotten hurt. And a mosquito had bitten him and infected him. The virus had done something to him. And very quickly. He was walking along the swamp. Sometimes his legs wouldn't obey him, and he would grab fallen branches. Or leaves. He looked down. At his feet. He adjusted his movements. And moved on. Overall, everything was fine. He looked at his hands in amazement. As if he should see or understand something. But he just looked at them. That big mosquito was spinning in his head. So green. Swollen.

It was beautiful here in the swamp. He always liked to walk around these parts on his day off. It was almost night. Or evening. It gets dark faster in autumn. What leaves! He was fine, he could even walk around a tree. Or bend branches aside with his hands. He was sure of it. The main thing was not to drown in this swamp. How could he have slept in the bushes? But it wasn't cold at all. It wasn't cold for him. Maybe he had a fever? He'd have to see a doctor. But why did he have to sleep in the bushes?

He lost consciousness. He thought to himself, as if he were. He seemed to be feeling unwell. Some thoughts were clear. And then there was some kind of emptiness. As if he could see something clearly. And something was floating before his eyes. This was normal. It was dark here, after all. He remembered the way home. And that big mosquito. It was all green. Like the swamp. And big. And it was bloated all over. As if there was some kind of green in it. It was dark green. And he remembered the way home. The forest. The road. He needed to get to the road. He has a car there. And on the way home.

Mother rabbit is following her little rabbit. A beautiful sunset.

In a land where every day is a magical sunset. And many, many beautiful flowers. There lives a rabbit. His mother is now on her way to fetch him. To call him for dinner. The sun is already golden. It's time for a snack of carrot soup. And a carrot juice.

Mother rabbit is walking. And beautiful flowers are growing all around. All sorts of colors. A golden sunset. A beautiful warm summer evening. It's so beautiful here. It's like this every day here, and summer never ends. The little rabbit has run off somewhere. He always runs along this path. Somewhere far away.

He often plays here. With other kind and cheerful little animals. There are bunnies here. A mole and an ant, and a snail. They're all somewhere here. Mother rabbit climbed the hill and saw that yes, they had gone far away. Somewhere below. They were playing something and laughing. They were clearly having a lot of fun.

The snail was the first to notice mother rabbit. And all the little animals turned around. And headed back. It was time for dinner. Each to their own little house. They still had about 15 minutes to walk, then there was the hill. And there, waiting for them, was the rabbit's mother. Now they'd get there and go to dinner.

The rabbit has a lot of friends. And a lot to do. He studies. He goes to school. The mole with the glasses is the smartest. After school, they play computer games. And they play outside. Right until evening. The evening here really is very beautiful. Sometimes you can sit on the hill and just watch. For a long, long time. And there are a lot of hills here. You walk up the hill. A gentle slope. Then the hill itself. And then a descent down. Another gentle slope. Everything is like that here. Further on, there's a field. There's a flat surface. That's where all the little animals live.

Such a warm and nice evening. I don't even want to go into the little house. I'd like to play with my friends. With a snail, a mole, a beetle, a butterfly, a bunny. And an ant. But that's okay. Everyone's going home. And tomorrow they'll continue the game.

There are such beautiful flowers growing everywhere here. Mama Rabbit looks at them. Mama Rabbit has lots of flowers growing in her garden too. Such a huge garden. Half the size of a field. A whole maze of flowers. And paths between them. And further on, other little animals have their own houses. In the shade of the trees. Beyond them, there's a river and a lake—that's where the frogs are. There's just a lot of water and everything is overgrown. The frogs float there on their floating houses. It's an amazing sight when the lanterns light up at night. On the river.

Grass and trees - someone's here

You're on a magical island. And there's a whole exploration of this magical place ahead. Different trees grow here. And the weather is fine. A high mountain lies ahead, which obscures your view of what's beyond. And the first thing you see is grass and trees. Birds are singing.

The island looks like a perfectly ordinary place. Birds. Birds are flying and singing everywhere. It's a beautiful place. But there's a figure behind the tree. It's something green. Like a lizard or a small creature. Or a small green goblin. Hiding behind the trees. There's someone else on the other side. It looks like you should get your sword and magic ready. A walk through this forest won't be easy.

You remember sailing on a ship. And now you're here. Among the grass and trees. On this island. At least it's not icy or covered in snow. Someone has already fired an arrow in your direction. But very ineptly. The arrow fell a few meters away. There's laughter in the bushes. Little green men. Lemmings, goblins. You couldn't see them. Another arrow flies. It goes off somewhere. A very clumsy shot.

You hid behind a large, green tree. To watch. And you saw little green men in armor pacing back and forth. They'd lost sight of you. Yes, this island is clearly already inhabited. And they're not expecting guests. There's probably a village up ahead. You saw some of them from the ship last night. Cities. Or villages. You should move further into the forest. To find shelter.

A zombie emerges from the lab.

A white corridor. Almost sterile white. And empty. A bright yellow LED lamp glows. The lamps repeat every few meters. They cut through the whiteness with their warm yellow glow. It's already night. Closer to midnight. And there's no one here. A zombie emerges from the lab.

It's unclear where he came from. Or how he got into the corridor. But it's a fact. A zombie is in the corridor. Walking down a long white corridor. For him, it's like a second life. But it's full of despair. He hobbles slowly. And waves his arms. Grasping the walls. As if they were his only support.

Occasionally, he makes sounds. More like screams. He walks down the corridor. These LED lamps have never seen anything like this. He's already walked the entire long corridor. And there it is – the sign – exit. A green sign. With white text – exit. A zombie is heading for the exit.

The zombie almost falls once. He constantly touches the walls. And, leaning on them, he slowly hobbles toward the exit. The exit is very soon. He waves his arms. And moves on. As if feeling the air. The zombie can only go forward. And it’s hard for him to understand that he can go anywhere else. His head is in complete chaos. Everything is seething, as if in an ocean. And not a second of calm or clear consciousness. Only chaos. And a constant pulsation. He goes. Step after step. To the exit. It’s a zombie marathon. And he’s almost finished it. He’s a participant in this run down the corridor. And he’s succeeding. The door with the sign “Exit” is even closer.

Again and again. The zombie takes a step. And doesn’t stop. When he almost falls, he tries to grab the wall with his hands. And tries to say something. But all that comes out is a scream. It’s impossible to utter words. His head is in chaos. Thousands of mosquitoes seem to be biting. It’s as if he can’t see anything in front of him. His vision seems to be malfunctioning. It seems he can see after all. Sometimes it's bad – through a veil of red. It's blood before his eyes. Sometimes it's clear. Sometimes everything swims before his eyes. The brain has a hard time processing the signals from the eyes. He can't feel anything with his nose. There's no charm. And he can't breathe. He realized this. Consciousness is weak. But it's there. A spark of consciousness. His back hurts as if after hard work.  

He'll get a bonus at work for this corridor. A thought. Incomprehensible. And everything drowns in a pulsation like an ocean. Thousands of mosquitoes. That sensation again. A burning. It's all just in his head. He doesn't really feel the pain. It's just that his brain is so heavy. His head feels like it's aching. What's wrong with him? He needs to get to the exit. The answer is there. He thinks he's hurt himself. Thought. This is good. Everything will be fine.

He throws both hands at the door. The door swings open. There's the night air. And night. The light from the streetlamps. And the street. He needs to go there.

Bunny and Mom – Bunny Goes to Lunch

Mom goes to see the bunny. The bunny is still little. The bunny is sitting on the grass and eating something tasty. Lettuce leaves, carrots. He still has a lot to grow. He will learn. He will run and jump a lot. And he is already helping his mom grow carrots. It's a sunny summer now. It's like this every day here.

Mom goes to see the bunny. She tells him it's time to go to his house. There's delicious soup waiting for him. And his favorite cartoon. It's about to start right now. The bunny loves the sun so much, eating delicious grass, that he forgets. He runs around the field. Plays with bees and insects. Jumps after beetles in the grass. He met a mole. But he didn't follow him into the underground passage. A cat is running around somewhere. An elephant is walking around. A dog comes too. Lots of people live here.

The lettuce leaves are so delicious and fresh. The carrots are so crunchy, it makes your ears twitch. A crow is flying around. Bunny offered salad. But the crow doesn't want salad. Bunny has fun here every day. It's time to run and watch a cartoon and eat some delicious soup. With herbs. Basil, rosemary, dill, lolo lettuce, and so many other things. Bunny knows about salad too. And in his little room, he grows a carrot, just one, on the windowsill. And a few lettuce leaves.

As soon as the sun rises and smiles through the window, Bunny immediately runs outside. To run and play! There's still dew on the ground. After the night rain. At night, the rain waters everything that grows. A light drizzle falls at night. And during the day, the sun shines. And it's so nice. In the mornings, it can still be cool. In the river, for example. On a sunny summer day, when a snail brings a letter every day. Once. Not every day. The bunny draws the sun in the evenings. In his sketchbook. He's good at it. That's what his mother says. The bunny laughs. He's very happy. The bunny is always here on the path in front of the house. When it's time for lunch. But the bunny doesn't remember exactly when. And sometimes he forgets. Then his mother comes for him. And calls him into the house.  

It's almost time for lunch. The bunny just realized. His mother has arrived. That means it's already time for lunch. He can leave everything. There's no escape. And go to the house. Eat delicious soup. And watch his favorite cartoon. About kind animals. Sit on a chair. And watch TV. Eat soup leisurely.  

Then the bunny will run into the field again. It wasn't long enough for the whole lunch. And he needs to look around. As if it's a new field. There's a lot of grass. You can get lost in the field. But you can always find your way back. In a pinch, someone will show you. A cow, for example. They have their place there. Rabbits live there. The field is really big. Delicious peas grow in the field. He and the mole go to eat them.

The crow flies everywhere. And sees everything. At worst, he'll wait for the crow. And ask. The crow always gives hints. The field is interesting too. And then to the house. Where the garden and vegetable patch are. There are so many interesting things there too.

The chub is a fish with a head!

The chub lives in a very interesting and beautiful place. It's either a pond or an entire ocean. Something of both at the same time. There's plenty of space here. And a whole underwater landscape. Everything is overgrown with green algae. More than edible. And extremely tasty. It's worth traveling – tastes are different everywhere. And it's always delicious. There are drop-offs into the water here.

And entire pillars rising up. It's all dry land. And underwater. And it's striving upward. That's the uniqueness of the landscape. The landscape here is beautiful. And most importantly, all this beauty is underwater. The chub swims a lot here. It really enjoys exploring everything here. Especially since it has never reached the edge. It's simply an ocean here. But it's like a pond. For the chub. Its personal world. And the fish has a personal computer. And not just one. Everything is right under the water.

The fish swims up and communicates online with other fish. Plays games. Programming. Trying out new software. And there are already a lot of computers. Chub even made a map of which computer is which. It's quiet here, and no one distracts you. Be it a game or software, or a programming task. It's nice underwater!  

You can go down into these chasms. It's darker there. And even cooler. But not by much. You can make a place for yourself there. Store Dendy cartridges there, for example. And in another chasm, build a collection of MS-DOS games on disks and floppy disks. The water is excellent; it's a great swimmer.

There's even underwater tea growing in this place. You have to pick it and drink the tea. All sorts of different varieties. Around these pillars rising up. And there are portals to other worlds at the bottom. These chasms sometimes lead to other worlds. Sometimes they're empty. And sometimes someone lives there. Or even lots of cheerful fish swim there. You can find lots of friends that way. It's never boring here. A wonderful underwater world. Chub is very pleased. That he has such a world. A chub can find a very small depression like this. And sleep in the shade. It's like night. Very comfortable. And there are plenty of such places. Some of the pillars that go up don't even reach the land. But you can see the sun and lots of sand. You can sit there and relax. The fish has a TV and a chair there. In one of these places.

It's quite deep here. And it's like outer space. A huge expanse. And a variety of landscapes. Which adds variety to this place. And the algae here are so delicious. They vary slightly in color. The fish map this algae. And record the taste. They share with other fish what tasty things each brings. There's a whole world here where fish share tasty things with each other. After all, something grows and you can plant it yourself.

A whole underwater garden. Some beautiful plants. And tasty things to eat. And you can also exchange Dendy cartridges and MS-DOS games. That's also something. There's a portal here for fans of underwater computer games. The fish swim a lot. And he thinks about all sorts of things. He remembers what happened yesterday. And what's interesting to do today. And what to put off until tomorrow.

Chub is a big fish and programs a lot in a variety of systems. For example, his favorite system is MS-DOS. Rybka makes a lot of fun games, lots of underwater strategy games. Turn-based and real-time. And he writes underwater fantasy. Then he'll make a game. And during breaks, he spends a lot of time swimming and eating delicious seaweed. Oh, and he can also listen to music on audio cassettes.

The pond frog sings songs in a magical pond.

The pond frog sits in the shade or in the sun. It depends. And watches everything around. It's a wonderful pond. The water is green. The colors are just like the frog. Water lilies grow here. Delicious algae grows underwater. There are lots of interesting things lying on the bottom. There are driftwood. And on the surface, there are water lilies. And sunshine. You can shelter from the sun in the grass or in the water.

The pond frog loves this pond. It has its own little house here. One above the water, one under. And the frog builds itself a gazebo on the lilies. To drink tea. And to dive. There's a place in the shade. And a place in the sun. Whatever your heart desires.

You can even float on a water lily. Slowly. And float to the very middle of the pond. And then dive. So that only your eyes are visible. You can float. The frog spends a lot of time underwater, too. There's sand there, too. And it's wonderful to watch the water vary in color. In different places. From dark tea to golden. And there's also a variety of greens. The pond has so many interesting things. It's a magical pond for a frog.

Trees provide shelter from the scorching sun. And there's a meadow nearby. And there's a spot with swamp water. Grass grows there. And everything is always in the water just right. And then the water gets thinner and thinner. And only then does the grass grow tall and dry around. It's not so hot in the tall grass. And there's shade.

The frog also knows places with large puddles where it can sit and get wet. There are these little holes in the field. And they vary in depth. It's just fun to jump in and sit there. And sometimes it's so deep—an entire stream starts there. So much so that only the eyes can be seen.

The frog is everywhere here. In the grass. In the field. In the stream. In the pond. The pond is the main spot. The frog spends most of its time here, and it's where the frog makes its home. There's a river. With golden water. There's a part of the river with dark water. The water there is dark. And you have to swim to the shore. And there's sand. Tall grass. And trees. Beyond that is the forest. The frog doesn't go there. It tries to stay near the water. And there's water everywhere here. One way or another, all the waterways lead somewhere familiar. To the pond. It's the central part.

So you won't get lost. You just walk along the water. And you'll come to the pond. You'll recognize familiar streams. Familiar hummocks. Grass. Puddles. Familiar places are everywhere here. You can travel along the golden river. Or swim along the deeper river. Whatever you like. You can run across the entire field. Even jump. Or sit in the grass. It's nice there in the morning after the rain. It's humid.

The frog tries to come back for lunch and tea. And when it's time to go to bed. And so she hops around everywhere. There's an even bigger pond there. It's probably even more magical. Every pond is a magical place. A whole world to explore. Here's a frog floating on a water lily. And looking around.

The frog is also a musician and a singer. Croak-croak. A cheerful frog. Singing her songs everywhere. When she can't hear the grasshoppers in the field. The main thing is that there's song everywhere. That's what the frog thinks. It's not boring here at all.
