"The 6809 saw some success, especially in arcade machines, but it did not steamroll the world the way the 6502 and Z80 did."

Could have mentioned the use of the 6809 in the Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer and the Dragon in the UK. Using the TRS-80 tag on something not using a Z-80 never made sense.

Taught myself Java in 1997 and was able have it do the heavy lifting over the years. Have "kicked the tires" on a lot technologies over the years for side-projects evidenced by the menagerie of repositories on my GitHub.

Old one.

Coleco known for the ColecoVision home video game system and the Coleco Adam home computer started out as the "Connecticut Leather Company" in 1932. The business supplied leather and "shoe findings" (the supplies and paraphernalia of a shoe repair shop) to shoe repairers.

An exercise in simulating sports fandom on a map. To do things like simulate expansion and relocation of franchises.

The idea of turning this into a simulation game is a possibility hence "warz" in the name.

It is a bunch of Jupyter notebooks being served by Voila. The "Blank.ipynb" one is more interactive but the ergonomics need work.

It is running free tier hosting so it could swamped if enough people use it simultaneously:

There are instructions to run locally via Docker in the README.md

A idea like this has been on the back of my mind but more like forming a taxonomy of embellishments and dramatic license. Figure out which ones are somewhat necessary and which ones are "bad". Particularly bad would be those that villainize a real person which role in the actual event was more benign. Coach Dan Devine in "Rudy" and boxer Max Baer Sr. in "Cinderella Man" come to mind.
