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.

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).
