Today a little more progress on the coding front. I hooked up a simple front end so I could do a few plays of the game to find and fix all the bugs in the engine code.
Hooking a continuous save using local storage was pretty simple. LocalStorage is basically a simple object that you set or retrieve values into it. Simple interface and quite a clever way to do it and for once quite well supported even in internet explorer.
I hooked in a simple title screen and instruction screen making it feel more like a game. Basically I am very close to finishing the coding side of things. I want to add a title for every room and perhaps add some extra checks in the python script. After that I will get onto fleshing out the text and fixing all the typo errors I am bound to have introduced.
Once I am happy with text in the game I will start work on making the UI a little less like a programmer made it in a hurry to test things out. So far I am quite happy with the progress and I am well within my time budget. Getting the text right is going to be where the real hard work waits for me.
