Bay, Bay12, why would I start a new topic? I take pride in my OG Chapter Master thread street cred!
I don't have a new release to announce, but I have actually been making some progress for the first time in (checks clock) the better part of a year. I was mired in refactor hell trying to update my pitched battle code to be able to handle species that were too big for a single space on the grid, and rather than smartly go work on something else for a while, I'd open the code, go to the place I had compilation errors, grimace for an hour, then go do something else. Then it was the holiday season, and I had a four day weekend, so I actually buckled down and banged out a set of changes... then decided I didn't like them, so I threw them away and banged out a different approach that I like better. Whee! (And, if I'm being honest, coming back to this thread and going through all the people who came in with big promises only to disappear within a week or three provides me some fuel to not be That Guy. I'll likely still be working on a beta release after I retire, I will take years to produce nothing substantial, but I'll do it in plain sight and leave the mess I've made available on GitHub, dammit!)
My use-or-lose vacation time for the year means I have three-day weekends for the next several weeks and no plans for them other than playing games and seeing if I can't actually move a ticket on the Trello board to done for the first time in over a year. Fingers crossed but, as always, no promises.
