The crew of the space shuttle Discovery have been in space now for a little over 10 hours. The launch went spectacularly and other than a few damaged tiles all is going well so far. I’m a big fan of all things space (in case that wasn’t already obvious) and I think NASA’s current plans for the future are a positive sign for humanity. I will reveal more about what I believe the future of space flight to be with my ‘Future History’ to go along with my space game. I want to make it as believable as possible, with a little wishful thinking added in for good measure. My prayer’s are with the crew and I wish them a safe trip and return.<\/p>\n
Overtime is still cranking along. We’ve been called in for the weekend as well so I won’t be getting anything done this weekend. I’m rounding up all the features I can add without fleshing out more of my ideas in a game design document. I’ve also decided now would be a good time to update some of the core features of my framework that I’ve put off due to time constraints. I have a plethora of ‘TODO’s I’ve placed throughout the framework which I’d like to go back to and update until I’m comfortable with the code. I’ve also decided to brush up, and solidify my Software Engineering principles and I may take some time to reassess my framework now that it’s taken shape and decide if there are any design decisions I’d like to change before continuing.<\/p>\n
That’s about all for now, my eyes have had enough of computer screens for one day so I’m off.<\/p>\n
