It’s not going to get finished in an hour.<\/p>\n

This is not, however, the normal “Truck didn’t get it done” crap.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I got quite a bit accomplished; I actually CAN finish this into a game, and will be doing so in the coming days. Now, true, tommorrow I have the show, but after that I probably will get into this and work on it more.<\/p>\n

I have accomplished a math thing that I had previously not done. In fact, it’s – well, the most complex math I’ve ever done. The last time I did something like this, it was in perl, 10+ years ago, and it took far longer.<\/p>\n

I have fixed some issues with my work area. He**, I _have_ a work area now. I really do.<\/p>\n

I probably ate better this weekend than I usally do. (I had breakfasts and fruit. That’s not normal.)<\/p>\n

I didn’t have a beer, tho I had 20. This confirms that, even though I may have wanted one, I still have the ability to say “no, not now.”\u00a0 This means I do not have a serious drinking issue. I just have to watch myself, and I still can.<\/p>\n

I have a clear layout of things to do, and much documentation.<\/p>\n

I know what to work on next – or, well, I know what I probably will work on next. It’s client\/server interface stuff. And maybe I’ll do some stuff with the canvas tag (:<\/p>\n

This has been a _really_ good thing to do, and I’ve also seen some really cool stuff others have worked on. I’ve learned a lot. It’s good to be coding on stuff again.<\/p>\n

I might even have managed to do a bit of defeating of the traditional “oh I just spent 8 hours daydreaming about the project and stuff surrounding it and now I have to sleep and I haven’t done anything” and I managed to spend limited time on irc, despite having the internet.<\/p>\n

And, I think I’ll use ‘drone’ as the background music in future when doing coding, it works well.\u00a0 I’ll switch back to scenesat in a few minutes.<\/p>\n

There are some things I should fix in the workflow – but I _can_ now that I have synergy working! W007.<\/p>\n

\u25ca so I’m happy. I’m not FINISHED. But I will be.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks, Ludum Dare (:<\/p>\n

Next round, I’ll finish (:\u00a0 Or I’ll jam, we’ll see (:<\/p>","time":"December 18th, 2011 5:53 pm","title":"wrapup."}
