Actual questions I haven't been asked by anyone ever.

- - "Jungle Horse"? -

Yes.

- - What about Hillary? -

The original version of Jungle Horse supported Hillary, but I simply have - not had enough time to feature both presidential candidates. It takes a lot - of effort to gather and curate all of the required samples to power a TTS - engine, and as you might imagine from the amazing quality - of Jungle Horse-generated audio. Factor in the engineering work required - and bam... negative hours in my schedule remain.

- - Why is this so late into the election? -

I spent too many weekends having wild parties (such lies ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)).

- - How did you make this? -

I spent several weekends typing various letters, numbers, and characters - like "=" and "}" on my laptop keyboard.

- -

For a more direct answer—people I know will groan at my - evangelism—I wrote this mostly in Rust, a systems programming language - I've completely fallen in love with. If you're an engineer, you should give it - a try. Rust makes a great addition to any toolbox.

- -

For any kids and students considering a future in software engineering, you - should know that programming lets you do absolutely magical things on a daily - basis. It also makes an excellent career.

Donations Welcome!

- - Future projects and stuff. - -

I have so many ideas for projects! Tetris projected onto the Georiga - Pacific skyscraper, an interactive time travel film with hundreds of branching - plotlines, a video game with a blind protagonist rendered entirely with audio...

- -

I spend my own time and money on making stuff, but if you enjoyed this, it'd be - awesome to get something back. No worries if not. I'm happy just knowing I made - somebody (you...?) laugh or smile.

- - - - Collaborations - -

If you're an Atlanta-area artist or hacker, you should totally meet me for coffee - at Krog St. Market someday. My only hobby outside of listening to terrible hipster - music is that I like to make stuff. Working solo is fun, but collaborators might be - neat too. (Word of warning: while I'm not a vampire, I may or may not be a night owl.)

So does anybody want to hack on a late start into the November - Github Game Jam? - (And can we write it in Rust?)
