#peppapig

Well, I really like #X11 (#Xorg) ... and my son loves #PeppaPig. Which gives me a stupid idea. I could write something called #Xchicken. Make some chicken lay some eggs with mouse clicks on some #XRender surface.

Rough roadmap:
- Draw some chicken and eggs, probably as SVG?
- Reuse code from #Xmoji, add special widget supporting some "layered canvas"
- Implement game logic
- Add sound? (Hm, gotta look into #OSS and maybe #sndio, cause #FreeBSD ... #Linux weirdness maybe later)
- ....?

I'll probably never start though 🙈

Oh ye'sir! Our twins loved PeppaPig when they were small, and they watched it WAAAY beyond the usual age range, with authentic joy. It's intelligent and straight. There's predictabiity to it, as must be for small children, but it's the predictability of the rising sun.

I asked them today (they're 12yo now): my question immediately made them smile, and they told me that they'd really loved watching it.

Simplicity and honesty are right at every age.
