15:00	VISUALSTUDIO	Let's compile SCI
15:00	LINK	That should link it all together
14:59	SCYNDI	Scyndli link up code
14:58	C++	Well, in order to fix that first two API functions to make it happen
14:58	STUPIDITY	It seems I forgot to implement Character name changes.... How silly of me
14:54	TEST	Take CLXXIV
14:54	FIXED	Or void... whatever
14:32	TEST	Take CLXXIII
14:32	FIXED	One instance escaped the fix.... Fixed now anyway
14:31	TEST	Take CLXXII
14:31	FIXED	Well, that's been taken care of now
14:30	STUPIDITY	Consequently used the wrong variable for the wrong purpose
14:28	TEST	Take CLXXI
14:28	FAILURE	I really hate it that Lua does not support sending booleans to the C/C++ APIs
14:22	TEST	Take CLXX
14:22	FIXED	Method called by wrong name
14:19	TEST	Take CLXIX
14:18	FIXED	Internal library fault... That caused this to happen... Hey... SCI itself is also know and this project is its maidens voyage!
14:17	DEBUG	Take CLXVIII
14:16	DEBUG	Extra data required
14:16	BUG	An error that should be impssoble is thrown without any traceback data... That makes it hard on me
14:08	TEST	Take CLXVII
14:07	FIXED	File not found
14:06	TEST	Take CLXVI
14:06	VOID	And an alias to prevent further trouble on loading new states
14:01	VISUALSTUDIO	Take CLXV
14:01	FIXED	Shows as there are some C++ syntax errors in there
14:00	STUPIDITY	I first should have made sure SCI was recompiled as I did have to make a few changes there.
13:59	TEST	Take CLXIV
13:59	STATUS	All set data for characters SHOULD be accounted for now, except for passive skills, but that comes later
13:58	SCRIPT	More scripting
13:26	SCRIPT	Quick dice menu... Yes the game mechanics are not based on real dice, hence the lower stats and HP
13:04	STATUS	All errrors I can check up so far have been accounted for
12:54	TEST	Take CLXIII
12:54	FIXED	Syntax error
12:53	TEST	Take CLXII
12:53	FIXED	Code typo
12:52	TEST	Take CLXI
12:52	STUPIDITY	Another
12:52	TEST	Take CLX
12:52	FIXED	Referrence error
12:51	TEST	Take CLIX
12:51	FIXED	I guess the keyword "Number" was not recognized as a type by Scyndi
12:50	TEST	Take CLVIII
12:50	VOID	???
12:49	HUH	Dat fuck?
12:49	SITE	Added tag HUH
12:48	TEST	Take CLVII
12:48	VOID	Another issue
12:48	CONFIRMED	Voiding worked
12:48	TEST	Take CLVI
12:47	VOID	Voided the issue, but it does look like the parser needs a bit of a workout... at least the chopper... But then again, much of Scyndi needs it
12:47	VISUALSTUDIO	Take CLV
12:40	DEBUG	It seems to happen in the chopping stage, which comes before the actual parsing
12:38	VISUALSTUDIO	Take CLIV
12:38	DEBUG	Let's take it to VisiualStudio and see there
12:37	BUG	Something's wrong, making the compiler hang in an infinite loop.... Why?
12:36	TEST	Take CLIII
12:35	TECHNO	Now this is all based on prototyp code I wrote in C and which I had to adept for Scyndi in order to make it work inside the scripted environment (I know. Mostly coders work the other way around, but I am not "most coders"), so basically they SHOULD work.... However all I can do to test is seeing if no compilation errors pop up (for now)
12:34	SCRIPT	I've set up how the basic statistics should be dealt with on level ups.
- = 3 Oct 2023 = -
21:25	CHARACTER	I've set up some base data for the six girls who are going to be with you during this entire game.
16:57	TECHNO	At this point I have NO IDEA if this all works the way it should and I have NO WAY to test... I can however soon start to set everything in motion, though....
16:56	C++	Spawn implemented
16:19	TECHNO	Please note the former I could test already, the latter will have to be tested as I now begin on the game itself
16:19	C++	Actors should also appear now
16:19	C++	I've build in Kthura animation support
- = 2 Oct 2023 = -
23:44	VOID	JCR6_Show has (at least for now) had the support for WestWood PAK files removed. Somehow this lead to conflicts. Now Westwood has a very bad PAK system anyway, so I'm not surprised.
22:06	SITE	Added tag VISUALSTUDIO
22:06	VISUALSTUDIO	Take CLII
22:06	C++	A tool has been written that will create the compass spots. I chose this approach is during the production of The Fairy Tale REVAMPED I quite often forgot many
19:33	STATUS	The only big thing is now that actors cannot yet be drawn, that willl be one of the next important things to cover...
18:38	LINK	It compiles so what I have is ready to use
18:35	FIXED	Some fixes along the way
18:35	SCRIPT	Link up scripts
18:24	C++	Kthura API
10:32	ART	In order to put my mind onto something else first, I've first made the welcoming banners for Vandar, Frendor and the Frendor Bushes, respectively the first three locations Myrah and Francis will come through.
- = 1 Oct 2023 = -
23:18	STATUS	But that API will have to come later....
23:14	C++	The API has not yet been written... That will be the next step
23:14	NOTE	Although it may be easier to do it the old way, I wil do a few things different this time... That may requrie more code in the scripts, but my theory is that it can quicken up the game. At least, that's my objective.
23:13	C++	A quick Kthura manager has been set up.
22:21	C++	And the Dijkstra driver for Kthura has been set up and a nice little code to link it all together. Now the next thing I gotta do is make sure that SCI will do the initiations accordingly and after that the API for SCI can finally be set up.
22:18	C++	Blockmap buiilder (most of all based on my C# class but with Rect support added and support for obstacles and pictures removed. This was already the case in the last verison of Kthura and that is permaent. In the C# version it was already considered deprecated.
20:30	FIXED	But those were all minor issues, and all accounted for.
20:27	BUG	My only concern on the short term is that stuff compiles and this does not seem to happen.
20:26	C++	The basis has been set up for Author support. This is only the core data... Drawing and animating this is not yet supported and the Dijkstra pathfinder I just created can also not be hooked up to this.
16:24	STATUS	I do need some rest now though... the past workouts on Kthura and Dijkstra exhausted me. The thing is at least that stuff works so far how it's supposed to work, and that is at least a very big encouragement.
15:57	C++	I've renewed the Dijkstra pathfinder routines. Now I gotta create a Kthura driver for it, but first Kthura must support that in the first place.
11:47	STATUS	There is still a lot to do though. The new Kthura has no actor support at this moment which is VITAL for a game, and I've some ideas to improve the Dijkstra pathfinder. This may put a bit of an end to the zingzag effect some routes have...
11:41	C++	Placement of exits has been done... And with that I have a bit of a getup that does allow me to get this show on the road already.
9:12	C++	Preparations for "Other"
0:14	C++	And the new Kthura editor also has labels covered.... The first unexplainable crash also came up.... It does seem that June19 is to blame... But the true reason is not tracable....
0:11	STARSTORY2	This project has now ended.... I'm sure there are still some bugs in there, and if they are found they may be fixed, but no more active development will take place there.
- = 30 Sep 2023 = -
16:30	GENERATION	Below is the outcome of the generation of EXP points required to gain a level. So at level 1 you need 10 exp to become level 2 and so on... MAX is 100 Billion. Put in to prevent overflow issues

16:21	SITE	Added tag GENERATION
16:21	C++	The project is still in a standstill due to the development of the new Kthura editor, but it's taking shape now, and we are to the point where I can make the first steps in designing maps.
- = 28 Sep 2023 = -
16:35	C++	Placing obstacles works now... But that was actually one of the easiest things to implement
- = 27 Sep 2023 = -
19:11	STATUS	I do need a break now, though....
19:04	C++	The TQSG Drawing driver should be operative now... I honestly cannot tell if it works the way it should though.
16:08	TECHNO	Please note, I made Kthura driver based for this. The main reason is because if I would ever ditch SDL2 I can just replace the driver, without having to redo Kthura completely. (Well that's the idea, since I mostly end up redoing Kthura anyway).
16:08	SITE	Added tag TECHNO
16:06	C++	The basis for the Draw functions have been set up in Kthura.
- = 25 Sep 2023 = -
22:47	C++	Moar work done here!
18:18	NOTE	LOADS of time!
18:17	C++	Unfortunately the Kthura Editor will require a complete redo. Nothing I can't handle, but this will take time.....
- = 24 Sep 2023 = -
13:41	C++	And so does C++... Good!
13:40	CONFIRMED	Scyndi compiles now
13:40	SCYNDI	Take CLIII
13:40	FIXED	2 syntax errors in the same line of code.... Good job, Jeroen
13:39	SCYNDI	Take CLII
13:39	FIXED	Syntax error
13:38	SCYNDI	Take CLI
13:38	FIXED	Var error
13:14	NOTE	Not there yet, though!
13:13	C++	Statician List support
- = 23 Sep 2023 = -
23:38	SCYNDI	And the Scyndi linkup code has been added as well.
23:38	SITE	Added tag SCYNDI
23:38	C++	Points
22:37	DONE	The base stats for the six characters has been decided (except for HP). They are not very high, but with what I have in mind that's not needed anyway.
21:56	NOTE	The frustrating part is that this cannot be tested until the point that you actually have something playable. That is very very frustrating, I tell ya.
21:56	C++	Party organizing stuff presednt in the engine
18:56	C++	More work done, but not nearly there yet!
15:39	C++	Part of the Statician API done. But there's still a crapload to do.
12:01	STARSTORY2	Wel, perhaps it's a good idea to first get the (hopefully) final alpha test of Star Story 2 on the run.
12:00	STATUS	Well, from here I am NOT yet ready to get the game itself to work. First of all Statician needs to be hooked up to the interpreter. Now that will actually NOT be the hardest part, but still something that can be a little bit nasty, but that will most of all be on the script linking. Next issue, Kthura. The underlying Slyvina framework already has the engine to process Kthura maps, but no driver yet to properly draw them and once I have all that, I will also have to put everything together into the SCI system. The Kthura editor will also have to be converted into the Slyvina framework, although the old editor can still serve to produce the easily levels, since the essence of Kthura hasn't changed that much.... if it has changed at all So all in all there's still a lot of work to be done. Oh well, it all comes with the territory. I knew the price for ditching my old framework and starting a new. Once Kthura works, most of the nasty parts of that will be done, as most of the work was already done before I decided to even start on Luna's Father. That alone already saves me a lot of trouble now. It simply ain't over, yet!
11:45	STATUS	Other than that everything's perfect.
11:45	COSMETIC	One color issue, but that doesn't justify another take
11:43	TEST	Take CL
11:43	SCRIPT	Temporary script that throws a fake error on the place where the game should begin (which is, of course not possible as the game itself has not yet been created).
11:31	ROSETTA	Start game text
11:31	SITE	Added tag ROSETTA
11:27	TEST	Take CXLIX
11:27	VOID	Manual enters in the warning added
11:24	FAILURE	Clearly SDL2 is not as sophisticated as I thought
11:23	TEST	Take CXLVIII
11:23	FIXED	Illegal function call
11:22	TEST	Take CXLVII
11:22	FIXED	Wrong module
11:21	TEST	Take CXLVI

11:11	FIXED	Ref error
11:10	TEST	Take CXLII
11:10	FIXED	Illegal Function Call
10:43	TEST	Take CXLI
10:42	FIXED	Syntax error
10:41	TEST	Take CXL
10:07	NOTE	You cannot yet choose the difficulty setting. The options should show and the system should explain then when you hover, and for now... that's it!
10:06	SCRIPT	Difficulty mode selector
10:06	FAILURE	I see a Blue Screen Of Death must have occured while I was asleep. I hope it did no damage.
0:00	GITHUB	Repository updated
- = 22 Sep 2023 = -
23:58	STATUS	Okay, one thing to do before I can call it
23:42	STATUS	Time to call it, as I am getting dead tired.
23:41	CONFIRMED	And now it appears to be in order... Good!
23:41	TEST	Take CXXXIX
23:40	FIXED	Intervar did only work well on strigns, but not on the other two types
23:35	CONFIRMED	At leas THAT works, but I did see something else I do NOT like
23:34	TEST	Take CXXXVIII
23:34	FIXED	That old "Screen" habit that simply won't die!
23:33	TEST	Take CXXXVII
23:33	NOTE	That will (for now) only be a blank screen with a back button. I cannot do all in once, you know!
23:33	DONE	Next stage (difficulty selection)
23:31	CONFIRMED
23:29	TEST	Take CXXXVI
23:29	DONE	Cancel New Game (or New Game+)
23:22	CONFIRMED	YAY!

23:14	TEST	Take CXXXI
23:14	FIXED	Fixed that
23:14	STUPIDITY	Because I forgot the instruction to put them on screen (moron)!
23:13	BUG	But why do the letters to pick not appear?
23:13	FIXED	Back arrow pointing the wrong way
23:12	TEST	Take CXXX
