\"when<\/a>

when I was a kid this sort of image was like crack. it’s so laughable now. stupid kid.<\/p><\/div>\n

(When I get up I’ll do a post-sleep post-pre-mortem-post-mortem, some of this will just be taking some of the prolix and manic text out of my submission page – yay sleep dep!)<\/em><\/p>\n 
That was a lot of fun! (but it’s not over yet..)\u00a0 I somehow wrote just shy of 3,000 lines of code in 48hrs.\u00a0 It’s almost certainly 90% ugly horribleness, and I’m not a fan of LOC as a metric of productivity – but it still feels pretty cool.\u00a0 (If I printed it all out it would take about 46 A4 pages).<\/p>\n 
Unfortunately, quantity of code does not equal a finished game.\u00a0 About halfway in (after some sleep) I lost a lot of time to vascilating between confusion at the code I’d added before passing out (that guy was craaaazy) and feeling generally dumb.\u00a0 But eventually I got it nailed down and was grateful to discover that, whilst I had lost track of what I was doing – the more responsibly-minded part of me had sent me down a tunnel with no wrong turns.\u00a0 Not to say I didn’t bump my head a few times, slip over in miscellany or mistaken inanimate objects for long-lost lovers..<\/abbr><\/p>\n
