Today I managed to get lots of little tweaks done, such as fixing crashes, implementing population limits, fixing bugs, adding the minimap and tooltips, and adding particle effects and more visual feedback, and so on.\u00a0 The game is basically playable, with the glaring exception that the AI is not yet implemented.\u00a0 I’ve started working on the basics, but it’s rather daunting, as I’ve never done anything like this before.\u00a0 The weather was also awful today, sunny the entire time, and as a result I feel like I’ve been beaten up by somebody with a hot iron, so I wasn’t at my most productive.<\/p>\n

I’m going to try and get some extra sleep tonight, and hopefully wake up fresher and able to tackle the problem that is AI.\u00a0 I’ve got two days to get it done, really, though I’d like to continue tweaking the game and adding gameplay features as well.<\/p>\n
