I thought the next few days were going to be great for visible progress for the map; at least for me. I thought it was going to be an exciting week of churning out new map visuals, and I thought I'd surprize you soon with another fancy screenshot despite saying that I wouldn't.
What I discovered and realized is that I made a change in plans a few days ago and I've been running with it as it seemed like an insignificant change that I could just go ahead and do. What I forgot is that I wasn't originally going to go with this idea so soon because of how much extra work it was. I've already started it though and it's what I want the final result to be, so I pretty much have to go through with it and finish.
There is another piece in 'The Great Brwar' : code quality. For the last little while I have been so excited about making progress that I've cut corners and sacrificed on my idea of code quality. While not a huge issue now, it could become a problem for me in the near future. Compound this with the fact that I need to write a lot of new code, and it means even more work. Thus, I am no longer so excited about getting it done.
Furthermore, the specific functionality of the map is more complex than I really expected... or at least I'm now daunted by it where I wasn't before. Whatever the case, I need to spend some time carefully designing how I really want the star map to end up looking, and working, and... well, as I said, it's complicated.
SO, instead of an exciting week of creating my awesome star map engine, I'm taking some time away to rest from coding, and do the proper planning and design that I need to do anyway.
That's all for now~
