Brian Provinciano is a coding machine. Addicted to running things on constrained environments.



Wow, there's a name I haven't seen for awhile. He made an entire suite of apps for editing or rolling your own Sierra adventure games about 15 years ago. He got quite mad at my "helpful" coding suggestions back in the day... sorry, I was 12 O_O


Please tell me you have the original suggestions :D


I just had a look and the mega-tokyo.com forum seems to be gone forever. Basically someone asked for help about a syntax error, and I said something like 'if you get a "no closing brace error" just insert right curly braces at the very end if your code until it compiles.'

I think I even included a "code sample" }}}}}}}}}}. Brian did not like that at all!!

Once my 12 year old hubris ran out, I gave up on trying to make "AAA" games by myself :-)

/edit here is my old shame. So much cringe, but I was a kid so whatever. http://l-s-d_studios.tripod.com


Wow Tripod still exists and they still have your website contents? Impressive.

Also, love that "Sign my guestbook"/"View my guestbook", brings back old-internet memories.


It's reassuring to know that I wasn't the only 12 year old coder full of hubris and idiocy :D I tried to find some of the old coding forums to apologise, but most of them have disappeared from the internet...


Haha. I love it.


haha I will never post my old internet presence.
