specs for card game app with tariq

##00:59 Saturday 19 January 2013

Though we haven't started thinking about a name, Tariq and I have pretty well fleshed out version one of our first card game (during our 10pm - 12am meeting tonight).  He's still got to create some assets, and I've still got to do a good amount of programming, but I can clearly tell that my iOS skillz have increased a lot since our first app.

I probably shouldn't write skills with a z; I'm miles away from where I might hope to be in a parallel universe.

The game will be a bit difficult!  We plan something like 10 levels, but only chimpanzees will likely be able to finish the higher levels.

wow a five year plan with lin and mama

I had written "wow!  I five year plan with Lin and Mama!"

A-san-su is here with us this weekend; he told me a bit more about the family; Lin's mom and her husband used to have money, but frittered it all away instead of saving.  When Lin's dad was being a playboy they separated.

Trying to get citizenship in Japan, Lin's mom dropped her Taiwanese citizenship, which A-san-su suggests might have been better to keep.

So, the plan now is for Lin to work as a tour conductor for a few years here in Japan while I'm doing sbstrm and chatforest.  We'll focus on getting stuff together to get regain Taiwanese citizenship for Lin's mom (she was born there) and then we three will move to Taiwan by 2018.

Woohoo!  A 5 year plan!
