Day 13: Long Day and Nothing to Show

Project: Space Game (Untitled)
Code Budget: 120 Hours, 80 Spent
Media Budget: 200 Hours, 23 Spent
Other Time: 13 Hours Spent
Day Breakdown: 11 Hours of Code

Well it was a long day and I have nothing in the way of screen shots or movies to show off what I did, mainly because it really isn't all that exciting. I laid a very nice groundwork for my menu system, but it still has a ways to go and I'll need to figure out some of the sticker aspects of things still. However, on the whole I'm happy with the framework and it should work out nicely.

I'm doing my best to hard code as little form/menu interaction into the game as possible, instead I'm using a framework that reads form files and allows the user to interact with the forms while providing function based hocks for the required action in the game itself. Basically I'm creating a form system that is more in line with how you would build a form inside an IDE. From a coding perspective it is turning out to be a beautiful piece of work, but it takes time. In the end I do think that the extra work will be worth it.

Goals For Tomorrow: More Forms and Menus
