The indecision is killing me

I haven't posted anything non-trivial here for a while so I thought I'd write a little update on how things are going in the world of me relative to BYOND.

With regards to my current BYOND project, I've kind of hit a stall where I've merged code from two projects and I've hit a decision on whether to handle it one way or another. Each part of the code uses its own system, so I need to change half the code of this particular system. However, I can't bring myself to trawl through the code changing and debugging it. Really I need to completely rewrite both systems to use the same method but they're both reasonably considerable pieces of code. I'll have another go at it in a minute but I expect it'll end the way all my other attempts do - me wondering where to start for 5 minutes and then closing Dream Maker and playing CoD4 instead.

(Writing stuff like this coherently about a project which you don't want to reveal the nature of is difficult.)

I also bought FEAR (the original) recently and I plan on doing a review of it at some point. There've been a few good scares but so far the biggest reaction from me (in response to the cheapest scare, of course) was when the game throws a body out of a window directly in front of you, garnering an 'OSHI OSHI' and a few shotgun shells from me.

Also it was my birthday on Monday, I'm now officially 19. I got a new PC case, which came in a hilariously enormous box. It has a window, but the blinging neons aren't arriving until Friday.



Yes, my room is an effing mess.

#2 Hazman:  

I wasn't planning on revealing anything until it was a bit more finished, but I'm working on the Business strategy game (this one). I'm merging two different systems for prospecting and mining (they cover different things) so I the end result is a fancy dynamic-interface prospecting system combined with a usable mining and mineral system. The problem was that they used different mineral systems but I've now resolved the problem.

I've also got a fuh-fuh-fuh-fantastic dynamic road construction and pathfinding system which took me like 2 weeks of effort and allows players to build road networks which are converted to graphs of intersections (for more efficient pathfinding) dynamically and efficiently.

Which BYOND projects are you working on? What are you merging?
