LOON - a data format made for humans

I recently stumbled myself into this old project of mine called LOON and on github it even got 10 stars surprisingly.

It's a configuration language designed for humans to write.

Check it out, maybe?

Italian Gin - Rules

Description:

Italian Gin is a variant of the game Gin Rummy, using an Italian deck instead of a French deck.

Requirements: A deck of Italian cards (Neapolitan, Piacentine, Sicilian, etc.)

Number of Players: 2

Setup:

Shuffle the deck and deal 7 cards to each player. Once done, place one card face-up next to the deck, forming the discard pile.

Objective:

The objective is to form a 7-card hand composed entirely of runs and/or sets: a run consists of cards in ascending order, all of the same suit; a set is a series of cards, all of the same rank, consisting of 3 or 4 cards.

Gameplay:

The non-dealer goes first.

On the first hand, the player who did not deal the cards may choose whether or not to take the card face-up next to the deck. If they do not want it, the dealer chooses whether or not to take it.

If no one chooses to take it, the game continues as normal. If the non-dealer takes it, the game continues as normal.

Taking the face-up card replaces the normal draw from the deck.

A turn consists of a player drawing from the deck or the top card of the discard pile, then discarding a single card.

How to win:

The winner is the player with a hand containing only runs and sets, plus one card to discard. He or she discards that last card face down and says "Gin."

Points:

The winner scores a number of points equal to the sum of the values of the opponent's cards that are not part of a run or set.

The King is worth 10 points, the Knight is worth 9 points, the Jack is worth 8 points, the other cards are worth their value, and the Ace is worth 1 point.

Might as well die

Might as well die,
or disappear in
a cloud of smoke,
a prominent mist,
made of tears.

So many are my fears,
that are making me
doubt every other,
of the walls creeping closer.

Hear my silent scream,
Can you hear me?
While many hear to this,
Can you understand this?

A view so constrained,
a voice so dim,
like a candle burning,
burning me.
