My Game is Almost Finished... Yet Some Problems Have Delayed it Indefinitely
November 29th 2007 07:49
Programming can get rather surreal when you're as clumsy as me at it. Right now my game is virtually finished save for a few 'small' problems. Well a few problems that should be small. See, theres something wrong with the code that goes beyond the code. To explain better I'm going to give a real world example of the problem I'm facing:
Imagine you go to the store to buy apples. If you buy one fresh apple then the batch of oranges you have at home will go rotten. If you buy two fresh apples then half the batch of oranges you have at home will go rotten. Now if you buy two rotten apples all the oranges at home will stay fresh and whats more, once you get home you'll find the rotten apples you bought have suddenly become fresh. Oh wait, except you look at the batch of oranges you already had and discover one of them has just transformed into a strawberry.
In all the above scenarios you go back to the store demanding a refund only to discover everything is fine, allyour apples and oranges are fresh again. You go home confused and you find everything has messed up AGAIN. You can't understand it, when you try to return your defected goods they work fine, when you take them home they stuff up.
Now you live in an alternate dimension where things should go by physical laws as we understand them here in the good 'ol third dimenion. Except they don't always work according to plan, since in this dimension your perception can often be drastically different to whats happening.
From what you understand there is a generel law that links up the apples you buy with the oranges at home. However seperate they may both appear they are connected by the world you live in. You understand it has something to do with bending space and time but you just don't get what it could possibly be thats linking up these apples and oranges in such an absurd way.
Confused? Yes, I am too, and honestly, I am on the verge of giving up this little project. I'm so close to finishing yet so far from the finish line.
