This is my digital garden. The idea here is that these notes will evolve over time. Each note should be atomic, and as small as possible while still being useful. To prevent me from endlessly trying to categorize these notes into [taxonomical](https://www.wordnik.com/words/taxonomical) folders I have just four sub directories.

1. [🌱 Seeds](seeds.md): Notes that are in their infancy. Not many links and not much for content.
3. [🌴 Trees](trees.md): Notes that have a fair amount of content but not many links yet.
4. [🍍 Fruit](garden/03-Fruit/fruit.md): Notes that have *mostly* complete content and lots of links.

I have accidentally messed up my WSL installations a couple of times by just playing around with things and tinkering with the system files. I like being able to do this, even if I do not really know how, and sometimes make mistakes--it is a beneficial learning experience for me each time. So rather than leaving things as they are and not playing around with things that I should not, I choose to make frequent backups.

## πŸš’ Making Backups
I back up my WSL installations using a tarball created by the `WSL` executable supplied by Microsoft, using a command much like the one listed below.

```bash
WSL --export Ubuntu C:\Documents\WSL\Ubuntu-WSL.tar
```

Note that I use a dedicated folder on an alternate hard drive, as I have a few WSL instances that I want to backup and some of them are quite large. I also append the date to the compressed file.

## β›‘ Restoring From Backup
You can restore a WSL backup with a command like the following:

```bash
WSL --import Ubuntu C:\Documents\WSL\Ubuntu-WSL.tar

```

## πŸ“ Remember Agar.io?
Wikipedia defines [agar.io](https://www.agar.io/#ffa) as:

> Agar.io is a massively multiplayer online action game created by Brazilian developer Matheus Valadares. Players control one or more cells in a map representing a Petri dish. The goal is to gain as much mass as possible by eating agar and cells smaller than the player's cell while avoiding larger ones which can eat the player's cells. Each player starts with one cell, but players can split a cell into two once it reaches a sufficient mass, allowing them to control multiple cells. The name comes from the substance agar, used to culture bacteria.
The massive success of this game created a massive influx of copycat clones which you can learn more about in this YouTube video about [io Games and The Rise of Fake Multiplayer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCqnD40Q5T8&t=29s)


### πŸ— Here is a list of .io games that I have found interesting
- [Agar.io](https://www.agar.io/#ffa)
- [Mope.io](https://mope.io/)
- [Hole.io](https://hole-io.com/)
- This game is a direct clone of [donut country](http://donutcounty.com/) _note that this game does not run in a browser._


### 🍦 Create your own .io game using JavaScript and html
If you haven't heard of [Daniel Shiffman](https://shiffman.net/) the author of [The Nature of Code: Simulating Natural Systems with Processing](https://natureofcode.com/) and his YouTube channel [The Coding Train](https://thecodingtrain.com/) you should defiantly check him out.

[Daniel Shiffman](https://shiffman.net/) has created a [agar.io](https://www.agar.io/#ffa) clone on his [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXuxYMGe4KI). This series contains two parts:
