H1N.5
Unfortunately I’ve been out of commission for more than a week with a pretty bad flu, which I call H1N.5. It has been an up and down ride. I thought I was on the road to recovery before the weekend and my optimistic thinking came back to bite me in the ass. The good news is I’m finally feeling better and have been for the past couple of days. My appetite is back to normal and I have been trying to get some exercise in along with my usual jujitsu practices. The bad news is that I am behind schedule and now have to haul ass to get back to speed.
I plan on working double time over the next couple weeks to re-allign myself with my objectives. I know this blog hasn’t exactly been maintained and updated regularly but my priorities have been strictly focused on code. I have familiarized myself with the C++ TP protocol library. There is a lot of new functionality that is in place as part of the new protocol standard which simply does not work with the existing code in Parsek. I have begun the process of rewriting the existing code in Parsek and found this to be quite tedious. My plan is to now focus on simply building much of the required functionality from scratch rather than trying to retrofit the Parsek code base. In the next few days I hope to have server connectivity and basic game status management functionality in place. I will hopefully have more updates on my progress by the weekend.
