<h2>December Adventure 2025</h2>

<p>The Advent of Code is cool, but a lot, and not everyone's jam.

<p>The December Adventure is low key. The goal is to write a little bit of code every day in December.

</p>...doesn't even really have to be code! Let the December Adventure be for all kinds of creative pursuits.

This is my third year (see <a href="/DA2023.txt">2023</a> and <a href="/DA2024.txt">2024</a>)
doing this. Be sure to check out the full list of adventure logs from other participients at

DecAdv2025 2025.12.01                                           
                                                                
It's time to start a new December Adventure. I'll be focusing on
my Forth systems again. I don't have a planned out set of tasks,
so this will probably be a variety of things as the month progr-
esses.                                                          
                                                                
I started today by setting up a script to extract my logs from  
my blocks and generate a basic index.html and plain text copy.  
                                                                
To begin this year's projects, I am starting with a few new ilo 
implementations. My initial targets are Pascal and Ada.         
                                                                
I've set up compilers (fpc, gnat) for these on a Linux system,  
and created skeletons with the basic function definitions, along
the same organization as I did in C.

For the Pascal, I have some advantages; I've used Pascal in the 
past, so have some familiarity with it, and I can look at Rob   
Judd's nga implementation in Pascal if I get stuck. (Though I do
not plan to use that as a starting point).                      
                                                                
Much of this has just been reading the FPC documentation; the   
actual implementation is pretty straightforward. I've put a copy
of the source at charles.childe.rs/DA2025/ilo.pas and added it  
to the fossil repository.                                       
                                                                
It's probably closer in spirit to a C program than a Pascal one,
but I can improve that later. Tomorrow I'll start on the Ada    
implementation. I expect that to be more difficult.
