Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll Tonight I spent time on GC fixing bugs, cleaning up code and adding in the game timer feature. Well, the bug fixing arose as a result of the code cleanup really. I wasn’t liking the way I was accessing record fields from TorquDB so I wrapped it in a function to […]

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll So I was determined tonight to get the game play working to at least the extent of being able to take turns placing peices on the board and do so properly. Since I had the maps all set to go once again I whipped up a testbed map in the editor […]

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll Well I knocked off tasks 1-4 from my previous entry, which is the least I wanted to get done today. I figured getting the brushes to work properly would take some time, and it did. Task #1 took me less than 20 minutes, and tasks #3 & 4 took me about […]
