Hi! I’m starting Ada Lives, an independent editorial project exploring the connections between programming, literature, history, science, and video games.
I’m particularly, in this forum, inviting programmers to share their experiences, articles, algorithms, or projects related to video games, consoles, embedded systems, or anything else related to game development.
What can you submit?
Articles and essays: Historical research, game analysis, or unexpected connections between video games, literature, and history.
Short fiction: Original stories inspired by games, historical settings, or the relationship between humans and technology.
Programming experiments: Small programs, interactive fiction, or code that demonstrates an idea. Bonus points if it’s written in Ada, but it’s not required.
Video games and prototypes: Playable experiments, narrative games, or projects with something to say.
How to participate
Send a short proposal to adalithprojects@outlook.com describing your idea, its format, and why it fits the theme. You can also include a draft, sample, screenshots, or a link to your project.
Selected contributions will be edited and published in a free digital issue of Ada Lives, with credit given to their creators and links to their work.
This is an independent project, so participation is voluntary. You’ll retain ownership of your work, and I’ll ask for your permission before publishing it. Submitting your work doesn’t guarantee selection.
Submission deadline: October 31, 2026.
Languages: English or Spanish. You don’t need to submit in both.
Ada Lives is just getting started. This first issue is an experiment in bringing different ideas and creators together, and I’d like to see what we can make of it.
If you know someone who might have something to contribute, please share this post!
