Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In Real Life, Charles Babbage was an eccentric genius and mathematician who designed the world's first computers and wrote the first computer programs. His mentee Ada, Countess of Lovelace, was the first to speculate upon computers as not mere calculation machines, but material representations of analysis. Sadly, Babbage's computers were never built and Lovelace died when she was 36.As it turns out, Real Life sucks, so what actually happened was that Babbage and Lovelace built a Difference Engine that takes up an entire building and use it to fight crime. That is, if you define crime as street music and poetry.The comic (found here) is written by Sydney Padua, who wrote the first installment in celebration of Ada Lovelace Day. |

comment |
Absurdly Spacious Hardware: The Difference Engine is so large that debugging code requires crawling inside of it. George Eliot goes inside and gets lost in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.note In a weird bit of Recursive Reality, Dave Lebling, co-author of Zork, is a fan of this comic. |

ASCII Art: In a desperate but successful attempt to stop Babbage and Queen Victoria from kicking the crap out of each other, Lovelace gets the Analytical Engine to generate an ASCII picture of a kitten. |

Art Evolution: To some extent. While the entire comic has been good quality since it started (Padua is a professional animator after all), the first episode, "The Origin" was neatened up for a magazine publication. This led to some changes in dialogue, though. |
