You might like Tab Session Manager, which also lets you tag and search your saved window/tab sessions and annotates them with a date.

It still has a loyal fan base. :) And it evolved from the old Pascal of the 80s into Object Pascal, with extensions developed for Delphi, that eventually made their way back into the Free Pascal Compiler (fpc). Also people are developing even more modern language extensions and syntax for it (1), but let's see whether that catches on.

We're developing our game in Pascal, too, as our main coder is quite prolific in it. See this (2) discussion on HN about our game from about two weeks ago:

I'd play that, depending on the actual programming language used inside the game.

Hey, thanks for your suggestions!

We already have a co-op mode, but it's still in alpha testing mode. It most likely will be in Early Access from the start.

Multiplayer is something we really want to do, but takes some planning and time, so it isn't our focus currently. So this will be more like an update once the final version is released.

Co-op mode integration and networking is based on BeRo's RNL, which is also FOSS:

:) Watching the pings time out would be highly dissatisfying, though.

Thanks for your kind words and wishes!

I actually never played Stationeers, but sounds interesting, despite the limitation. I'll check it out sometime.

Well, hypothetically speaking, as you would need a complete stack down to Vulkan for the game itself on this machine, and we still would need to sandbox the guest machine, but apart from that nothing speaks against a thin wrapper, that passes through native RISC-V instructions to the host machine. So while it doesn't as of now, it may in the future.

Still got three dark-blue 0x10c T-shirts in my drawers. ;)

Sadly! But you can run the many DCPU emulators, interpreters, and assemblers on the SEEDS computer to interact with the planet.

I'm sure little aliens will like and explore it thoroughly. :)

That he truly is!. I'm sure he loves to hear that and I tell him you said hi. ;)

For example, shaping the terrain and placing items. Our automation is in its early stages, basically a proof-of-concept.

Our main focus lies on manually shaping the ground, placing water and plants, growing things, at least for the current sandbox mode.

But then again, this may change, depending on the interest of the players.

We mostly use Free Pascal (works fine on Linux and cross-compiling for Windows). But during development we also sometimes use and test Delphi builds on Windows.

We always make sure, it compiles with both.

Hey! Yes, we plan to release the full version on GOG.

I took the time and wrote a proper blog post describing our RISC-V emulator and a few other things at a high level:
