giving up here
I might throw it in here. Nothing went well today, and my increasingly feeble attempts at poking this code into submission aren’t going to achieve anything. Dead tired and dinner nearly killed me (holy shit who can eat anything that spicy?).
I might just go home, go to bed, and tomorrow or the next day rip apart my code and turn it into a different game keeping the good stuff and getting rid of the gunk that’s making it useless now. The general idea behind it isn’t so bad, but the stuff gluing it together is rubbish and it’s not clear when and how anything is communicating with anything else.
At least my game idea wasn’t much good, so no guilt in chucking that. Might make my end of the world idea instead.
