You may or may not be progrmming, but no results will emerge until someone hacks your data?

As of yesterday, it may or may not be a programming day.
As of today, yesterday was not a programming day.

[RAM]

Oh well, looks like it is doing well regardless.

[Shoruke]

Did about 20 minutes worth of programming today. I got about half of the new implementation of the Save() subroutine done, then I got bored, so I just made an outline of all the "if" statements I'll need, and put some commented asterisks to indicate "HEY SHORUKE PUT SOME CODE HERE DAMMIT YOU LAZY RAT-BASTARD". Also I cleaned up some stuff that apparently missed the memo that I'm now using global variables.

[Cheddarius]

Cool!

[Shoruke]

Hmm... I just thought of something. I'm extremely likely to finish off the Save() subroutine right now, but I've  been wondering about making player characters and NPCs basically the same thing. It'd make the logic for lots and lots of stuff way easier for me, and you'd be able to give your player characters extra limbs (via mutation, maybe they're a spider-person or someone is playing as a bird...)

Anyway wot u guys think about giving people spare limb-slots? I'll put up a voting poll.

EDIT: Yeah, I finished off the Save() subroutine, cleaned up some buttons that still hadn't got the memo about the global variables (apparently I need a new memo-distribution system  ), and made a really easy-to-use PopulateLists() subroutine, so that whenever the people/place lists need refreshing, I call this one function. It was a fighter, though; I fought my way past about 6 ankhegs (those are bugs) before I got it to work properly. Silly numRecords function, only works for channel 1... But yeah that piece works now.

[Shoruke]

Okay... my first year of University is almost over. I've got no more lectures, and no finals for a week. And I have resolved that, by Friday the 16^th, the new version of Cinnamon Rolls shall be released!

Thus far I have gotten a start on the PC/NPC merge. Actually, I think I might have finished it. Whoa. Next is making items and skills happen.

EDIT: Also, you are now able to give yourself items and skills and connections. You can't do much with them yet, but their names will show up properly. I suppose you could change how many items you have, how much experience you have in a skill, or describe the items/skills, but that information won't get saved.

[Cheddarius]

Awesome!

[RAM]

You speak as if the players deserve to keep their skills and items...

[Shoruke]

I'll admit that occasionally, a player comes along that does not in fact deserve to keep their skills and equipment. Fortunately for the non-trolls, we have GM's to decide who those people are. Unfortunately, this program is free to use, so I have no idea if your GM is sadistic, mean, a troll, or any other adjective that would cause him to lose your stuff when you don't deserve to. </ramble>

I got a bit of programming done today. Since items and skills now have their own .txt files, they now have their own reference numbers (but only because the combo boxes don't seem to be able to remember their .listIndex for more than one click). Currently I am engaged in hand-to-mandible combat with a bug, where if I select an item and try to save it, the changes go to a different item.

EDIT: Aha! I found the bug. Now I must simply squish it. Fear my global variables you ratbastard vermin!

EDIT2: FALCON SQUISH! Bug is gone; the program will now remember how many of an item you have.

[Cheddarius]

I think it was a joke. >_>

Heh, "hand-to-mandible". Anyway, nice progress!

[Shoruke]

I know what RAM said was a joke, I just felt like saying how some GM's are trolls... No particular reason why... I mean, I'm not saying I know any GM's who are trolls, just that there theoretically might be.

Anyway I'm cleaning up how the interface handles clicking the item boxes. I'm actually having one of the function calls pass a value! It's almost shocking, me using good programming procedure in my program...

EDIT: MOAR UPDATEZ! I squished summoar bugs involving body part health. So you are now able to permanently hurt someone.

[RAM]

Sounds great, so how long before we get our grubby tendrils on a copy?

[Shoruke]

Friday at the latest.

Tomorrow is job-search spam; when I'm done that I'll probably get more programming done.

[Cheddarius]

Job searching is way more important than our GM-ing convenience; you should definitely work on that as much as you can. Don't feel as if you're obligated to get this done or anything...

[zchris13]

That was totally sarcasm this is more important than everything ever.
