Bug fixing

[vivdunstan]

Struggled enormously to wake at 4.30pm - still very heavily sedated from my latest post Covid vaccine neuro flare. But currently - miraculously! - awake enough to fix a couple of key bugs in my IFComp text adventure game. I have a couple more weeks to work on it before the final round of playtesting. Still have one big structural change to make, as well as many small things (I'm about halfway through my to do list). But pleased with tonight's brief work. Which I have also tested as much as I can re the new code. Lots of running around locations in the game, trying to beat a time issue, and also observe what happens in different places and different situations.

It's amazing how, even when I am tired, I can still plod through tiny bugfixes.

Tiny bugfixes would have been fine - except when I am at my most neuro sedated (like a horse tranquilliser!). But these ones the other night were really quite tricky and convoluted. I also had to figure out a new algorithm for one of them. So I'm surprised I was awake enough to manage that, given how I was earlier.

Since then I've also done a big restructuring of the code (which turned out vastly simpler than I expected it would). So am now back to very tiny fixes for the next 2 weeks. Which is great!
