# Pattern Languages [[Design Patterns]] ## Thoughts (some time 2022-05) Reading Christopher Alexander's foreword to Patterns of Software has made me want to read his pattern language book (which I own in Europe but never really read). This made me stumble upon [[BOOK - Pattern Language for Game Design - Chris Barney]] which seems quite interesting too. While I am buying a ton of books recently, I feel that the accumulation and just casually browsing of them is in preparation for the recurse center retreat. It allows me to get a wide view of the field I am about to explore, and then refine what I want to home in on.
