Progress Report 2/5/2021
🕑 Added 2021-02-05 22:47:10 +0000 UTC"Friday" and "Frisbee" both start with "Fri". Coincidence? I think not! Here's what I got done this week:
- Continued work on the ending cinematic; began piecing the finished bits together in the game.
- Began scrounging around for good sound effects to use for the cinematic.
- Fixed two design issues; more on that in the 1.3.10 changelog.
No pictures this time, but I've got something even better: the next update! :D The end cinematic isn't ready just yet. This update is mostly just fixes for bugs and design flaws, plus the drawings for the Polish upgrades.
I had an interesting programming experience today. I encountered an issue with a variable for the feet where every time I would try and count with it, it would go: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5... So I tried changing the increments, and the pattern persisted: 2, 2, 4, 4, 6, 8, 10... and so on. Why was it repeating the first two numbers, and ONLY the first two numbers?
Well, as it turns out, both feet were counting separately, and after it hit the third digit, the foot that reached it would be the only one counting from that point onward (this was intended). I thought I was going crazy, or maybe a black hole was forming in my computer or something. Fortunately, I was laughing at the insanity of it the entire time, so it's a fun memory. :P
ENOUGH TALK! TACO BELL!!! I'll see you guys next week!

Did that cause it to count every number 11 times? That would have driven me bonkers! :o

You really got to love that feeling, when you start doubting logic because the code and how it executes makes no sense. :D Had a case like that once at work. There was a simple counting loop, nothing too complex, right? Well... manual count: 5 Loop: 11 :D Me: *Internal screams of agony for hours* Anyway, thanks for the update! o/
The cinematic coming -- hang in there! Hey, what a coincidence! That's exactly what I do when I have these programming errors, too! :D

This end cinematic that you keep teasing is killing me! I just want to see it already ^^. It’s always so interesting reading your programmer stories. I have no idea what you are talking about 90% of the time but I’m still sitting here nodding my head pretending like I know what’s going on XD. You’re a total beast (in a good way of course). Now go devour that Taco Bell!
