irl: I went to the dentist, which I think was the last of the errand backlog, hallelujah.

fox flux: Continuing on from last week, I threw myself headfirst into this idea of splitting up base actor code.

I tried it against Isaac’s Descent HD (my LÖVE port of Isaac’s Descent that I only ever released on Patreon), since it has a very small number of abilities and objects, and just went hog wild.

The results have been promising! Most of it went much more smoothly than I expected. A little bit was much more horrible than I expected. But within the space of a week I’d gotten a rough first attempt working, ported it to fox flux, and gotten the game… um… mostly limping along. There’s still some lingering fallout, and I haven’t even gotten to Lexy herself yet, but it seems like this will be an overall improvement. I can even write tests now! Tests!

I also did some more work on the revamped Lexy sprites, but then my tablet broke — again — so that came to a screeching halt.

blog: I started on a second post (without finishing the first, hm), or more specifically, I started on a complicated but very cool interactive doohickey to accompany the second post. Very excited. Should probably, like, finish one of them.

alice: Planning, writing.
