Coding problems, Panic, and the all-too-familiar 53 lines of code for moving your character (WTF?)
Yeah, with my current game, it takes 53 lines of code for you to move, and it’s just a maze game. No wonder I’m getting a headache! With the random generation system, it accesses a data structure about a million times, and sometimes it gives me errors because some spots on the data structure don’t exist yet! I’m running out of ideas and I’m panicking quite a bit, with only about another, say, 5 hours left of good development time to get it working. Then, I have to copy the code into the other 4 directions so you can actually move around the maze.
Then, I actually have to make a purpose to the game. <_> If I don’t finish, I might just make a simple preset maze, making the game much easier to make. But hey, what’s the “fun” in that?
Also, since I’m required to release the source code, I’m commenting it to help clear up my head, and that of anybody who wants to take a shot at fixing the darned thing so it works. This is really giving me a hard time.
But hey, no worries! I don’t have to submit anything, now do I? ๐
