Tinker Tuesday for October 1, 2024

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service.

Much like predicted at the beginning of September, this was a pretty slow month so far, I didn't even post in the last week's, but I managed to get some work in. Everything still revolves around the reinforcement mechanics. Calling in reinforcements actually removes them from the list, and I started working on ETA / availability depending on the distance. But as I was working on these and ironing out some bugs, I figured I'll have to take a detour. Since I'm getting into pretty specific features (reinforcements only being available in mission, when another ship is within a given distance, for example), it would be handy to save / restore the game state, and jump right into where I left off during the last test. So the goal for the coming week will be:

  • Saving / loading the System Map game state.
