Work Post

5:13pm - I haven't been feeling well during my work periods, so I haven't been working the last few days. But time is running out and I want to get the NPCs to do their thing before the deadline.

I'm not feeling well today either, so I'm going to start by trying a few things to get myself in the mood. The first thing is writing in my coding blog, which often gets me fired up. That's what I'm doing right now, so check!

I'm not actually sure what else to try though.

7:23pm - Okay so after I wrote that I got sick and spent the next hour or so in the loo. Then I played Warframe while recovering. Now I think I'm finally ready to crack open my toolbox and work on my game project.

SO! The goal is to make the NPCs do their thing. That means they have to take orders, collect carrots, bring the carrots to the base, eat the carrots, and if they don't eat enough carrots, they die.

The tricky thing will be the death, since that should tick down even if the NPC is in the base, so I probably can't just despawn them, or if I do, I'll have to make a complex citizen monitor system.

For now they'll just go invisible when they go in the base, and I'll put them somewhere out of the way.

First let's get them to take the "Gather Carrots" order.

8:49pm - Forgot to note it but I just had lunch, and watched an anime ep. Took about a half hour.

Now back to work!

...

On further thought I think I'm done for now. I'm still not feeling great and getting back into the code doesn't feel right. It's also almost nine already. :/

Lots of time spent in the loo or playing, not much working, but I guess that's okay. Life happens. Hopefully I'll do better tomorrow.
