What else is new?<\/p>\n

This time though, it’s because I’ve had some kind of respiratory complaint for the past month and it saw fit to remind me of its presence today. I spent most of the past 24 hours in bed or not in an ideal state to work on a game, and got pretty much no concrete work done up until an hour ago. As of now, though, I have a serviceable chessboard and data structure for representing it.<\/p>\n

\"Chessboard\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The bright side is that I have a pretty clear idea of how to proceed from here, both in design and implementation terms, which I think puts me at an advantage over my past LDs. I’ll just have to hope the malaise doesn’t flare up again.<\/p>\n

Oh, I’m also renaming my game Psychic Speed Chess<\/strong>. It alliterates a little better and I have some fun stylistic ideas, though I’m going to make sure the game is fully playable before I start trying to make it snazzy.<\/p>","time":"August 24th, 2013 6:22 pm","title":"Slow progress"}
