Here is a short video capture of one of my favourite computer games from childhood: Grand Prix Circuit by Accolade Inc.

God I love https://r7rs.aartaka.me, the best reference I could have when writing portable Scheme programs! Yeah, I’m the author of this rendering, so what? It’s still too good to be true!
Revised^7 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme

Wander 0.6.0 is out! This release removes a feature!

An earlier release introduced the ability to pass a 'via=<YOUR_CONSOLE_URL>' query parameter to pages loaded in the console. I was not fond of it but added it anyway after succumbing to popular demand.

Back then I didn't quite know why I disliked it. It just felt wrong to alter URLs by adding surplus query parameters. Sure enough, it turned out to be a misfeature and this release removes it.

See https://susam.net/code/news/wander/0.6.0.html for more details.
