going on a full week doing almost nothing but eating, sleeping, and coding. (in reverse order) the fireworks simulator i've been working on for the local pyrotechnics guild is coming along, but there's nothing to show for it yet. a bunch of stuff needs to be written to handle organization of crap before i can even bother getting to the actual graphics, so if i run it right now i just get a bunch of stuff that would look like gibberish to anybody else (except maybe the guy who choreographs the 4th Fest show every year, he would at least recognize some of it).
so, on one hand, i know i'm making progress, but on the other hand it's just hard to stay motivated when you can't yet see ANY of the fruits of your labor. for that reason, i think i'm going to sidetrack a bit and start designing the shell builder (the part that lets you create your own fireworks for the simulation). that should be fun. though, admittedly, Windows has been giving me a bunch of crap that i wouldn't have had to deal with back in the day when everything was done from DOS, so the graphics part is going slow. i miss DOS.
going to sativa's graduation party this weekend! fun times will be experienced by all.
