+ Wrote ECS
+ Almost finishing quad-tree collision detection
- Project on ice for a months, now

- Fuck.

+ Working on enemy behavior scripts

+ Editor can save and load JSON levels from clipboard and file
+ Added quick-test room that allows easily to test levels from clipboard
+ Started working on rewriting the IC chips
+ Made the editor pretty
+ Rewrote movement code so DIP can walk on slopes
- Have to add in more IC chips (and gate, delay, etc.)

- THAT'S IT

+ enough free time to pick the project back up
+ began working on the UI

- Sickness ate up most of the week :/

+ Various grammar and bugfixes
+ Started working on combat

+ changed the terminal emulator to use shorts instead of chars for wide char support (u16)
+ made it read input strings as utf8 instead of ascii (have to detect utf8 encoding and read either 1,2,3, or 4 bytes at a time)
+ changed the font generation to generate unicode ranges for ibm 437 characters
+ modified font drawing by speeding up gylph searching with a 126-lookup table for ascii chars and an andersson tree for unicode codepoints
- might have a memoery bug somewhere, will have to boot up linux system and test under valgrind or something

+ Asynch loliscript message so you can time actions to happen as the flow is read
+ Inline forking/flow control inside message{} blocks

+ Basic weapon pickup
+ Power slide pickup that replaces roll dodge
- Now I have to make art assets so progress will slow down

+ drawn some skill buttons instead of using the warcraft ones
+ drawn soldiers for the new playable race
- all art and no code makes Norby a dull boy
- took some time off this to make a small game for monster jam

+ Implemented a good dialogue system
+ First quest, in which you rescue a blacksmith from a bandits' hideout is almost finished

- well fuck

+ Remaking trailer, found a cool song but there a bunch of cat meows in the beginning
+ 224 wishlists

+ Created a noise generation library. Only value and Perlin noise for now, Voronoi might come in eventually.
+ Also made a dynamic texture material to test the noise gen. No immediate application, but it's nice to have in the toolbox.
+ Create landscapes around the level using the noise. Looks pretty good, but I meet dead ends relatively often. Voronoi might be better for creating obstacles that you can always get around of...
- Ship handles like a barge, so I'll be working on making it a bit more fun to drive.

+ Wrote bosses AI
+ Finished bosses animations, 80 frames
- Need to redo bosses animations because I fell for the dither meme and the colors are bad

+ Player can now rotate in-between attacks, provided they are not target-locking
+ Fixed bug with enemy still rotating to face you while they are in an attack animation
+ Fixed various other bugs
- Been playing too much vidya

+ Feelin' more back in the game. More debug mode upgrades, working on coding new attacks for the enemy
- Same setbacks as usual. Art woes, etc. etc.
- I hope I didn't miss the recap window
