mmm Illnes

I have been ill, When I say ill I mean one of the worst flu's of my life. Certainly in the top 3. It was not fun. Still I slowly recovering.

I returned to at home coding a few nights ago and promptly was met with my laptop messing around. It is behaving now but given it age is about the age laptops normally fail on me I decided to check all files were backed up. While the files where copying away it dawned on me the game I have been plugging away at is not much fun. So I decide to can it there and then. There are some ideas that might rescue it but I did not have much faith in them.

Laptop seems to be behaving now on the threat that it will be replaced.

As I wanted to get into coding after my illness forced hiatus I fell back onto an old design about sorting numbers. It is a clone of a game from the 80's that I think I wrote a clone of a few years ago as a Java Applet.

I quickly produced some artwork in Inkscape and got coding.

My plan before my illness had been to polish off another game in January and then attempt to have a push on making just one game over February but actually take the whole 29 days to do it in. Sort of a see how far I get with a larger game. Alas it seems unlikely that will happen as I am unlikely to finish the current game before February. Perhaps a 7 of Feb to 7 of March sort of time period? Doesn't really have a ring to though does it. We will see...
