| 09.02.14 -- ALTERNATIVE PHP EDITION | .[rfk)
| |:-[home)
| Coming to us all the way from France, Xavier |:-[rfk news)
| Darmon has created a new PHP implementation! |:-[software)
| Thanks, Xavier! |:-[submit a port)

| 01.02.13 -- MAYAN APOCALYPSE EDITION |:-[the source)
| |:-[lists)
| Thanks to an injection of significant work, |:-[devteam)
| inspiration and enthusiasm by Eric S. Raymond, the |:-[sponsors)
| long-lost source code rewrite by Alexey Toptygin, |:-[contact info)
| an NKI unification and purification project |`-[afterword)
| spearheaded by none other than Leonard Richardson |`-[PLAY)
| (and nearly doubling the number of "official" NKI |
| primarily due to David Griffith's contributions), |
| as well as lots of work by other members of the |
| consortium, we are proud to announce that |
| robotfindskitten has a new release, namely: |
| |
| The Mayan Apocalypse Edition |
| |
| ... which was released on 12.21.2012 -- the end |
| of the Mayan calendar. |
| |
| Much thanks to everyone involved. |
| |
| While we are normally humble and extremely |
| self-effacing, preferring to let others have the |
| credit for finding kitten, saving the world, etc., |
| the consortium would like to point out that while |
| "correlation is not causation," we released a new |
| version of robotfindskitten -- and the world did |
| not end on as "predicted" by the Mayans. |
| |
| So you owe us. |
| |
| Now go! Find kitten! |
| |
| 11.01.12 -- HTML5 |
| |
| And now, as though robot stepped into a time |
| portal to the FUTURE, we have been presented with |
| Michael Wooten's HTML5 robotfindskitten! |
| |
| You've come a long way, robot! |
| |
| 10.25.12 -- Web 2.0 |
| |
| You knew it would happen! The 2012 rfk |
| extravaganza took an unscheduled (that's |
| pronounced un-shed-jeweled) hiatus (pronounce that |
| however you like) for the last... oh, 8 months. |
| |
| Whoops! |
| |
| In the meantime robotfindskitten HQ has moved |
| approximately six hours up the Pacific coast so |
| that we can be closer to Silicon Valley. We're |
| trying to prepare for one of two possibilities -- |
| either we get VC and IPO for some mad ROI, or we |
| prepare our teams of lawyers to go after Zynga for |
| their new social game "robotfindskittenVille". |
| Time will tell. |
| |
| However, while you wait for the news to break, we |
| suggest you spend some time with Star Simpson's |
| fabulous Web 2.0 version of robotfindskitten! |
| |
| It's so fabulous, in fact, that we've decided to |
| host it. (We apologize to our friends using lynx |
| -- this version requires JavaScript to play.) |
| |
| Thanks, Star! |
| |
| 02.1.12 -- Sega Master System |
| |
| Well, the NES may have beaten the SMS for market |
| share in Japan and North America, but the Sega |
| Master System found kitten first -- thanks to |
| Ben "Greasemonkey" Russell. |
| |
| 01.31.12 -- Lego NXT Mindstorm |
| |
| Aapo Rantalainen's master gave him an rfk koan to |
| meditate upon: "What is robot inside Robot?" Aapo |
| said nothing, but immediately left for the |
| mountains. Seven years later, he returned with |
| robotfindskitten ported to the Lego NXT Mindstorm |
| controller! Thanks, Aapo! |
| |
| 01.30.12 -- Nintendo Wii |
| |
| rfk extravaganza 2012 continues! |
| |
| Your new years resolution was to get more |
| exercise, but exercise just seems so goal-oriented |
| and only reminds you of the ubiquity of suffering |
| and the futility of chasing after airs. That is, |
| it did, until today. For robotfindskitten has |
| been ported to the Nintendo Wii. And now, you can |
| not only "play" robotfindskitten, you can "be" |
| robot using the Wii Balance Board [Balance Board |
| not included]! Imagine the scores of kilocalories |
| you could burn, all the while fulfilling your |
| destiny to find kitten. See our software page for |
| more information. |
| |
| Thanks, Chris! |
| |
| 01.28.12 -- TI-86 |
| |
| Dateline Finland! |
| |
| Ever since Ander D'Nar ported rfk to the TI-83+ |
| line of graphing calculators, those math whizzes |
| using the more advanced TI-86 have been |
| discontinuous with envy! Well, thanks to the |
| efforts of plucky super-genius and calculator |
| artist Heikki Kallasjoki, now even users of the |
| TI-86 can "solve for kitten!" |
| |
| Stay tuned for more new ports coming this week! |
| |
| 01.28.12 -- *reboot* |
| |
| Hello kitten fans! |
| |
| I have some exciting news. |
| |
| While I was on my own lengthy personal journey |
| of kitten finding, no less than 8 new ports have |
| been submitted. Rather than putting them all in |
| one announcement, I'm going to post them one at |
| a time over the next several days. |
| |
| Stay tuned! |
| |
| 09.12.09 -- New Ports! |
| |
| We've got a mess of new ports for y'all. First, |
| Steve Pomeroy has provided a port for Android. |
| Now you can play rfk on your phone. But as if |
| that weren't enough, Jonathan Moscardini |
| thought it was necessary for you to be able to |
| play rfk on your Zune -- say, when you were |
| playing on your phone but then you got a call. |
| Oh! But then, you needed to play some different |
| music, what now? Fortunately, Ander D'Nar wrote |
| an rfk for the TI-8x series of calculators! Now |
| you can keep finding for kitten no matter what! |
| |
| 06.08.09 -- Maemo |
| |
| Thomas Thurman has brought robotfindskitten to the |
| Nokia Internet Tablet world! Now robot will have |
| no trouble finding kitten anywhere he goes. (Also, |
| I imagine robot playing the Nokia tune as he |
| powers up.) Way to go, Thomas! |
| |
| 12.02.08 -- Second Life |
| |
| Argent Stonecutter has brought Zen |
| simulation to the world of Second Life. We |
| have some source files here to download, |
| but of course the best way to see it is |
| "in person". Thanks, Argent! |
| |
| 11.18.08 -- MIT Scratch |
| |
| Derek Graham has brought us one of the most |
| unique ports to date -- a version of rfk for |
| the MIT Scratch visual programming |
| environment. I'll let Derek's blurb for his |
| version speak for itself. Make sure that you |
| check out the visual source code. |
| |
| Thanks, Derek! I hope kitten didn't "scratch" |
| you too much during the making of this port! |
| |
| 10.02.08 -- DEC Rainbow 100 |
| |
| Jeff Armstrong has modified the original DOS |
| sourcecode for use with the exotic DEC |
| Rainbow 100 BIOS and IO routines! |
| |
| Way to go, Jeff! |
| |
| 08.14.08 -- PDCurses |
| |
| Joseph Larson has updated the original DOS source |
| with the PDCurses library and added an external |
| NKI file! Thanks, Joe! |
| |
| 07.29.08 -- two more |
| |
| Two more to add to the compendium! One is |
| retro, and the other cutting edge! |
| |
| We've got a Mac 68k port and a mini game |
| of RFK inside Secret Agent Clank for the |
| PSP! |
| |
| See our software page for more info. |
| |
| Please also check out our updated submission |
| guidelines here. |
| |
| 03.25.08 -- mobygames |
| |
| Thanks to Franz "Yobu" Dumrath, robotfindskitten |
| is now part of the mobygames compendium! |
| |
| http://www.mobygames.com/game/robotfindskitten |
| |
| I like this description: |
| |
| "The game is a mindless yet meditative and (due |
| to its idiosyncratic humour) quite fun lo-fi |
| adventure-oid with some similarities to |
| roguelikes (all-ASCII, single player, top-down |
| randomized dungeon) and others [like] Progress |
| Quest." |
| |
| Thanks, Franz! |
| |
| 03.25.08 -- nintendo ds |
| |
| Not even the Nintendo DS, with its TWO |
| SCREENS is safe from robot. See the |
| software page for more info. |
| |
| new submission guidelines |
| |
| In an effort to streamline the |
| addition of ports to the rfk pantheon, |
| please see our new submission |
| guidelines here. |
| |
| 03.25.08 -- two new ports |
| |
| It just wouldn't be robotfindskitten if news |
| posts happened on any kind of regular basis. |
| But fear not, we are still looking for |
| kitten. |
| |
| robot has found two new versions in the |
| intervening two years: |
| * TI 99/4A |
| * Rockbox iPod software |
| |
| ... and a new POSIX implementation to coincide |
| with rfk finally getting a new Debian |
| maintainer. It is is with great fanfare that |
| we welcome Ryan Finnie as our new Debian |
| maintainer, and thank the outgoing Neale |
| Pickett for his years of service. |
| |
| 01.22.06 -- two new ports |
| |
| We have two new implementations of rfk to |
| serve you, the rfk-consuming public! |
| |
| * A new CGI |
| * PlayStation Portable! |
| |
| Our devteam page will be updated soon. |
| |
| 10.18.05 -- lots of news |
| |
| There's a lot of news around here -- first of |
| all, we have a new POSIX code base that will |
| be released soon as a tarball and a debian |
| package. The new POSIX code allows for NKI |
| to be in external flat files, rather than |
| compiled in statically. The new is a rewrite |
| by Alexey Toptygin, and the developers just |
| voted to accept it yesterday. |
| |
| I've also been lax at keeping the news page |
| updated -- since last year we also added |
| Inform-C64, Javascript, and Atari 7800. See |
| our software page for more info. |
| |
| 11.30.04 -- fanfic |
| |
| rfk fan fiction |
| |
| 10.17.04 -- python! |
| |
| Wow! leonardr, long rumoured to be the author |
| of the book of lost kittens, has blessed us |
| with two new things: |
| |
| python robotfindskitten and, |
| The Ultimate robotfindskitten fan site! |
| |
| 10.17.04 -- big updates |
| |
| Many new updates in the software section, |
| including: |
| rfk for the AmtelAVR, Flash, and PHP, and new |
| rfkiana such as 'jasonfindsfleece' and |
| 'rfk-megahyperdeath'! Wow! Also, rfk is now |
| in ports! Just use ports! |
| |
| 4.01.03 -- rfk for Z-80 Spectrum |
| |
| Finally the day has come that you've long |
| awaited -- robotfindskitten for your |
| Spectrum Personal Computer! And this is |
| not an April Fools joke, either! Click |
| here for more info. |
| |
| 2.08.03 -- robotfindskitten QNX |
| |
| robotfindskitten has been ported to QNX by the |
| indomitable Jeremy Penner! |
| |
| 1.30.03 -- robotfindskitten3d |
| |
| robotfindskitten has morphed into three |
| mind-bending dimensions! Check out Peter |
| Gordon's robotfindskitten3d. |
| |
| 1.28.03 -- many, many new versions |
| |
| Yep, leonardr was right... well, actually it was |
| the talk about a robotfindskitten port for QNX |
| that really broke the camels back. But the |
| point is, there are a LOT of new versions of |
| rfk that have not been getting the press they |
| deserve. These include: Java, Commodore 64, |
| Apple ][, AmigaOS, Inform as well as the |
| usual suspects, POSIX, PalmOS, Dreamcast, and |
| the CGI implementation. Work has begun on the |
| Atari 2600 version, and shady voices speak of |
| a TRS-80 edition. See most of this and more |
| at our software page. |
| |
| 1.27.03 -- robotfindskitten.org overhaul |
| |
| We're doing an overhaul of the site to include |
| all the many ports that have come out in the |
| past... ahem... two years. Sorry folks. |
| |
| Hopefully this will also engender a new POSIX |
| release to coincide with the freshening of rfk, |
| and a few new ports on the horizon. |
| |
| Possible plans include an inclusive |
| robotfindskitten .iso image. |
| |
| Stay tuned! |
